Remember when the so-called "experts" told us this was impossible? Remember when the Biden regime insisted high gas prices were the "new normal" and that Americans just needed to buy electric vehicles they couldn't afford? Well, Patriots, the numbers are in — and President Donald J. Trump is proving the doubters dead wrong.
As 2026 kicks into high gear, American families are experiencing something they haven't felt in years: genuine economic relief. Gas prices have cratered to their lowest levels since 2021, mortgage rates have tumbled to three-year lows, and the American Dream is roaring back to life under the Trump-Vance Administration.
"Drill, Baby, Drill" Delivers REAL Results
For the seventh consecutive week, gas prices have declined across the nation. Let those numbers sink in: the average price for regular unleaded is now below $3 per gallon in 43 states. In 30 states, drivers are paying less than $2.75. And in 17 states, families are filling up for $2.50 or less.
Here's the kicker that the legacy media doesn't want you to focus on: Americans can find gas below $2 per gallon at stations in at least 19 states. When's the last time that happened under Democrat leadership?
What does this mean for your family? According to GasBuddy, American motorists are on track to spend $11 billion less on gas in 2026 compared to last year. The average household will save hundreds of dollars annually — money that stays in YOUR pocket, not funding some green energy boondoggle or flowing overseas to hostile nations.
Even more remarkable: gas spending as a share of disposable income is now at its lowest point in two decades. That's not spin, folks — that's the Trump economy delivering exactly what he promised.
The American Dream of Homeownership Returns
But President Trump isn't stopping at the gas pump. His administration is waging an all-out assault on the housing affordability crisis that the Biden regime left behind.
The results speak for themselves: the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has dipped to its lowest level in nearly three years, falling more than a full percentage point over the past year. Monthly housing payments for Americans have dropped to their lowest point in over two years. Rents have declined for five straight months.
How did this happen? Through bold, decisive action that puts American families first. President Trump directed the purchase of $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to drive borrowing costs lower. He's also taking action to ban large institutional investors — think BlackRock and other corporate vultures — from gobbling up single-family homes and pricing out everyday Americans.
This is what America First governance looks like. No focus groups. No endless studies. Just a President who made promises and is keeping them.
A Stark Contrast to the Biden Disaster
Let's not forget where we came from, Patriots. Under the Biden regime, gas prices skyrocketed past $5 per gallon in many states. Families were forced to choose between filling their tanks and putting food on the table. The radical Left's war on American energy had our nation begging OPEC for oil while our own resources sat untapped.
Mortgage rates? They exploded past 7% under Biden's watch, locking an entire generation out of homeownership while inflation devoured their savings. The so-called "experts" at the Federal Reserve — the same ones who told us inflation was "transitory" — seemed content to let American families suffer.
President Trump inherited an economic mess, and in just under a year, he's turning it around through sheer force of will and common-sense conservative policies.
The Bottom Line
This is what winning looks like, America. Lower gas prices. Lower mortgage rates. More money in your pocket. More opportunities for your children to achieve the American Dream.
The mainstream media won't give President Trump credit for these victories — they're too busy pushing their latest manufactured scandal. But the numbers don't lie, and neither do the smiles on American faces when they see those prices at the pump.
The America First agenda isn't just a slogan. It's a promise kept.
