      Ah yes, paying $2.7/gal about 3 weeks ago and $3.3/gal earlier this week is definitely a benefit

    2. DoubleJumps on

      I’d love to see a Republican try to explain how making everything more expensive helps working class Americans without „just trust me bro“

    3. Jumpy_Exercise2722 on

      Yes I benefit from high gas prices by paying more for literally everything since it all doesn’t magically appear in stores

      The U.S. doesn’t benefit but the shareholders definitely will benefit. As Excess foreign demand will drive prices up for the plebs in the U.S unless the White House tries to limit exports (they won’t).

      Can’t believe average citizens saw this guy and said “he’s the one for me”. It’s so mind boggling I’m starting to wonder if I might be the stupid one.

      By “We” benefit he means those who own Oil companies, not you. You pay so that “we” can benefit.

      It’s also funny how if oil is high it’s Biden’s disgrace, but if Trump is in office it’s a win.

      Ah yes “stopping Iran”

      It’s like knocking down a bees nest and then saying “my focus is on stopping these bees from stinging me”

      Also please explain *how* the U.S. benefits from high oil prices since they are a net importer of crude?

    7. Megaphonestory on

      Heck of a thing to say to middle eastern allies here. In short, their destroyed oil assets help rich Americans bottom line.

      Can’t wait to hear from conservatives: „Actually, paying more for gas is a good thing!“

    9. agha0013 on

      some US corproations benefit, as the US is the world’s largest producer and exporter of oil

      that doesn’t mean shit to the vast majority of Americans who are paying more at the pumps, and everywhere else as rising fuel prices hit every segment of the consumer market.

    10. garfog99 on

      Bad headline. Should be: US oil companies benefit from high oil prices. The US public does not.

    11. Bishopjones2112 on

      Actually Russia is really profiting from the Iran war. Pretty sure they made about the same as the states spend in the same period.

    13. truthcopy on

      If we benefit from high prices, why was he so insistent on bragging about low gas prices two weeks ago?

    15. SP1570 on

      Russia benefits from high oil prices and that makes Donnie look good in the eyes of his boss

    16. AdmiralJarJar on

      The rich oil companies benefit, and the rich in general don’t care because the higher prices is insignificant to their wealth.

      Everyone else suffers though… but good to see that when trump talks about the US, he just means him and the wealthy.

      „You should see my Qatar bank accounts! Holy shit!“

      Get ready for months of daily war briefs like the good old days of COVID. Mario’s gonna start wearing scarves from what I understand.

    19. abbzug on

      Shocking that the guy that bankrupts casinos doesn’t understand global commodities and arbitrage.

      **However,** if this is what he needs to believe to declare victory and walk away then I will gladly proclaim that he’s right. The US will benefit bigly over this. Also tariffs aren’t paid by Americans, and tax cuts always pay for themselves.

    20. Mysterious-Oil-7094 on

      Orange one waves hands “MAGA likes to pay more for things.”
      MAGA “I like spending more money on gas”

    21. SlightlySublimated on

      This guy is the world’s biggest bullshit artist. 

      I dont understand how this benefits even the Billionaire class that supposedly supports him. 

      It seems like tanking the economy would be bad for business for nearly everyone. Billionaire or not. 

    22. Several-Opposite-746 on

      High oil prices help us, so thank me. Low gas prices are good, so thank me. How many sides of his asshole can this guy talk out of.

    23. Tango_D on

      The only people who count are wealthy shareholders. The rest of us are literally just staff and we are expendable to them.

    24. espngenius on

      It’s like the tariff talk all over again. Somehow there is still millions of Americans that will hear him and believe it, while constantly paying more and more.

    25. andreasmodugno on

      And black is white and up is down and wet is dry…. MagaNuts continue to support this fraud.

    26. PWL51 on

      There was nothing to stop. Iran was nowhere close to having nuclear weapons. All this illegal invasion was is another diversion by this clown pedophile president.

    28. Jaxraged on

      I love that the last year hes been saying how low the gas prices were. Consistent messaging

    29. Anxious-Debate5033 on

      This is what you voted for MAGA

      Higher gas prices, higher prices for groceries likely, if you own a business, your manufacturing costs are likely to go up, gotta cancel that vacation because the flight prices are higher now, tougher living for low income households.

      But sure, WE ARE WINNING BIGLY. USA! USA! USA!

    30. mlorusso4 on

      Hear that maga voters? Paying more for everything is actually good. Maybe, just maybe he doesn’t care about you and only cares about the oil companies?

    31. SiRMarlon on

      What in the actual fuck??? You mean US Oil companies benefit from High Oil Prices! This dude can go fuck himself

    32. sunnyspiders on

      This is what life with an abuser is like.

      Your panic is your problem, everything you know is wrong and you’re just stupid for not getting it.

      Fire this asshole already.

    33. MrBobSacamano on

      So, as usual, the truth is the opposite of what he says…as we can assume about his Epstein statements.

      “I lowered gas prices! So much winning!” – Trump

      “I raised oil prices! So much winning!” – also Trump

    37. Ahindre on

      A couple weeks ago, cheap gas was the center of his affordability argument in the SOTU address. Now that prices are up, that’s also good, or something.

    38. h4ck3r_n4m3 on

      A few billionaires and large shareholders benefit from high oil prices. Nationalize oil and we can revisit that discussion

    39. DramaticWesley on

      A few companies benefit from high oil prices. Most Americans and even most companies benefit from low oil prices.

    43. wizardjesta on

      Mother fuckers, oil companies aren’t america, america doesn’t benefit at all, we get fucked.

    44. Plus_Tip_1005 on

      I just paid 449 a gallon for regular at a gas station by my house. This does not benefit me or any taxpayers or businesses owners in any way.

      It only helps jackasses like the leadership in office (insider, trading on oil, futures, and dates of attacks). and the lobbyist who work for big oil.

    45. Global_Persimmon_469 on

      The narrative already changed from „higher prices are temporary“ to „higher prices are actually good for the US“
