Please Dispose It The evil orange ulcer lied again. It has lost its marbles. Friendly reminder: #tyrannicide is a legal option to #savedemocracy. #DemocracyDefenders are #strongertogether, #dontobeyinadvance, use #ALText, and #resist! Ceterum censeo #FOTUS #orangedecibyte #TACO esse delendam.

The screenshot (source: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/02/politics/fact-check-trump-gas-prices) reads:
" “Gasoline just hit $1.99 today in five states – $1.99, isn’t that a nice sound?” he said, adding moments later, “We just hit, in five states, $1.99, $1.98.”

Once more, this was a lie.

The lowest state average price on Tuesday for a gallon of regular gas was about $2.71 in Mississippi, according to data published by AAA. The state with the fifth-cheapest Tuesday average, Louisiana, was at about $2.79 per gallon, per the AAA data. And the national average was about $3.18 per gallon, AAA reported.

GasBuddy, a firm that tracks prices at tens of thousands of stations around the country, did not find a single station selling regular gas for below $2.26 per gallon on Tuesday. (There are sometimes individual drivers who get special discounts.) And GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis, Patrick De Haan, told CNN that the last time his data showed any state average below $2 per gallon was more than four years ago, in January 2021, when demand was unusually weak because of the Covid-19 pandemic."
