Fact check: Trump keeps making up gas prices

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump’s imaginary gas price has fallen.

Two weeks ago, Trump falsely claimed “a couple” states had just seen gas prices fall to $1.98 per gallon. That was not even close to true – no state had an average lower than about $2.70 per gallon, and there was no evidence any individual station was offering gas for under $2 per gallon – but the next day Trump said “three states” had just hit $1.98 per gallon, which was also far from the truth.

Trump repeated this inaccurate assertion about three $1.98 states at least three times this week. Then, during a commencement address at the University of Alabama on Thursday night, he used an even lower figure.

“Gasoline prices just hit $1.88 cents a gallon in three states,” Trump said. “Can you believe it?”

1. Sad part about this

Is that his followers actually believe HIM!

There is NO 1.88 a gallon gas in ANY state.

2. Maybe 1.88 per liter here

but certainly not per gallon. Our prices are high in Nevada. Its a good thing I drive an electric and my wife a plug-in.

3. We were just in California. 5.40 per gallon.

Doesn’t any Republican in Congress call out his BS?

4. The sub $2.00 gas is the RBOB or wholesale

The guy that probably failed ECON 101 may not know the difference between wholesale gas and the price at the pump.

7. Well, I mean it probably will be sub $2 soon

When the economy comes crashing down that tends to happen
