Trump Proving To Be the King of Lowering Gas Prices, As White House Celebrates Latest National Average – RedState

The White House Rapid Response team is hailing a new report by GasBuddy indicating the national average for a gallon of gas has now dipped below $3 per gallon.

That sub-$3 price is the first of President Trump’s second term and the first time consumers have seen it drop that low since the height of the pandemic.





GasBuddy, a company that allows users to track gas prices in real time, reported the national average at $2.986 – down nearly 20 cents cents from just a month ago, and 15.2 cents from one year ago.

Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, announced the plunging prices in a statement on the company website.

“Gas prices have finally fallen below $3 per gallon nationally — the earliest date we’ve seen a $2.99 national average since 2020, when COVID was the primary driver of low prices,” he stated.

I mean, yeah. That, and who was President back in 2020?

De Haan also revealed that 35 states have average gas prices below $2.99/gal, with one station in Evans, Colorado even reporting a $1.99 cash price. Holy savings, Batman.

When It Comes to the Economy, Regular Folks Know Better Than ‘Experts’


President Trump was so optimistic about the declining gas prices that he said he’d like to get the national average down to $2 per gallon. Or maybe even a tick below that.

“I think we’re going to be at two dollars and the previous administration they were at four and five dollars. They were going up much higher,” Trump told reporters.

“They lost control of the price of gasoline, of oil,” he said. “They totally lost control, [Secretary of Commerce] Howard [Lutnick]. And then they went back immediately – ‘Let’s go back to Trump!’ – but by that time it was too late. They didn’t do what they had to do. They wouldn’t know. They really didn’t know how to.”

“But we could be hitting close to $2/gallon. I’d love to break it if we could.”

Our wallets would love that as well.

De Haan poured a little cold water on that lofty expectation, but did predict on X that gas prices would continue to drop to the $2.80s. Which is substantially lower than some of the Biden peak years, when the national average was somewhere between the cost of one arm and one leg.





“Barring any major disruptions, gas prices are likely to remain slightly below year-ago levels and could stay under $3 for much of the next few months,” he added.

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) celebrated the news.

“After years of failed Democrat leadership, Americans are finally seeing gas prices drop toward $3 a gallon,” she said. “(Trump’s) America First energy policies are delivering real, tangible results that families can feel.”

“The difference couldn’t be more clear: under Democrats, we got excuses. Under Trump, we get results.”

The king of promises made, promises kept.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
