As Donald Trump nears his 79th birthday, he seems to get more delusional every day. One figment of his lying mind is his repeated claim that gas prices have gone below $2.00 a gallon. Spoiler alert: They haven’t.
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.
