The same Democrats and mainstream media outlets that defended Joe Biden's disastrous energy policies for four years are now in full panic mode, desperately trying to blame President Trump for gas prices rising during his necessary military response to Iranian terrorism.
While gas prices have increased approximately 50 cents per gallon amid escalating tensions with Iran, the liberal establishment is conveniently ignoring the fact that Trump inherited this Middle East powder keg from the failed Biden administration – and that current prices are STILL lower than during much of Biden's tenure.
Context the Media Won't Tell You
Remember when gas hit over $5 per gallon under Biden? Patriots certainly do, even if the amnesia-stricken press corps has forgotten. Trump's energy dominance policies had already begun driving down costs before Iran decided to test American resolve.
"The difference is clear," said one senior Republican strategist. "Biden's high gas prices came from his war on American energy. Trump's temporary increase comes from defending American interests against a terrorist regime."
"We're not going to apologize for standing up to Iran when Biden spent four years appeasing them," the strategist added.
The timing of this media offensive is no coincidence. With Trump's approval ratings soaring and his domestic agenda delivering results, desperate Democrats are grasping at any talking point to undermine the America First movement.
Energy Independence vs. Weakness
Here's what the fake news won't tell you: Trump's long-term energy strategy is already positioning America for complete energy independence. Meanwhile, his decisive action against Iran sends a clear message that America won't be pushed around by terrorist regimes.
Unlike Biden, who depleted our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to manipulate gas prices before the 2022 midterms, Trump is addressing root causes while building American energy dominance for generations.
Which would you rather have, Patriots – temporarily higher gas prices while we show strength against Iran, or permanently higher prices under Democrat energy policies that fund our enemies? The choice is obvious to anyone not suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
