I don't think that says what you think it says. I read it and what I saw was that gas prices were at an inflation adjusted historic high under republican president George Bush.
What I also saw was that gas under Trump is currently about 50% more expensive than when Biden left office.
When trump ran for election in 2024 one of his key promises was to cut energy prices for Americans b 50% and bring gas prices down to below $2 per gallon.
"Under my administration, we will be slashing energy and electricity prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months" - Donald Trump Aug 14 2024
"Energy is going to bring us back. That means we're going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon, bring down the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries, airfares, and housing costs." - Donald Trump Sep 5, 2024
So yes, I am weeping that enough Americans are dumb (did you know that is spelled with a d, because Trump did not know that until recently) enough to believe the lies of a convicted felon that he could be elected President.
Trump is trying to payoff companies to keep American living the past. He's trying to recreate the mid-20th century economy as we head for the mid-21st century. Meanwhile China is rushing into the future by generating the most renewable energy of any planet on the country and building high quality, low cost electric cars and is best positioned to survive a long term disruption to the global petroleum market Trump needs to listen to Xi about that Thucydides trap.
