Lefties Continue To Live in Denial, But Gas Prices Are Now Under $2/Gallon in Some Parts of the Country

When is Trump going to fulfill his campaign promise of reducing inflation?

Wait, he already has?

Well in that case, when is he going to stop murdering poor innocent narcoterrorist drug smugglers?! Huh, racist?!

US gas prices fell below $3 on Tuesday for the first time since May 2021, according to AAA.

The national average price for regular gas dropped to $2.998 a gallon, down from $3.001 the previous day, according to the fuel price tracker.

It was also down from $3.036 a month ago and $3.05 this time last year.

Low prices at the pump come as Americans have been beaten down by sticky inflation and a weak labor market.

A survey from the Conference Board last week found consumer confidence plunged to 88.7 in November -- down from 95.5 in October. That's the lowest level since April.

...

Recent weeks have seen President Trump tout his affordability agenda as Americans shell out more on everything from a cup of joe to plush sofas and kids' toys.

But on Tuesday, the average price of gas dipped below $2.75 a gallon in 18 states including New Mexico, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado, according to AAA.

Gas prices dropped alongside oil costs as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, ramped up its production of oil -- keeping supply higher than demand and sending a barrel of crude down to just $59 as of Tuesday.

You may wonder where I got the "under $2/gallon" fact. That's from local news reports compiled in a Black Conservative Perspective video, linked below. That video also features leftists coping and seething and denying that gas prices have come down, even as they drop to $2 or less.

Last week, Axios actually admitted that the economy is, get this, strong.

Axios perhaps just inadvertently committed one of the most based forms of narrative-wrecking journalism ever to hit the leftist media ecosphere by admitting the Trump economy is a lot better than what the propaganda suggests.

Axios economics reporter Courtenay Brown and Chief Economics Correspondent Neil Irwin -- the latter of which forecasted economic doom since President Donald Trump first took office -- released a shocking Thanksgiving Eve story declaring that "the biggest-picture indicators point to this being one of the better economies of modern times."

Talk about a seismic concession for an outlet that had been routinely denigrating Trump's agenda from the get-go. As Brown and Irwin wrote, "There have been plenty of ominous warnings this year about the job market, trade war-fueled inflation, asset bubbles, and more. The mighty U.S. economy has chugged ahead in 2025 despite them all." In fact, "through 11 months of 2025, the overall trajectory is pretty darn solid." Well, dang!

But of course, the authors tried to throw President Joe Biden a line by tracing some of the markers as far back as his administration, which makes sense given that Irwin was a notorious Bidenomics simp. Brown and Irwin pointed to a bevy of economic indicators such as unemployment remaining under 4.5 percent for 47 consecutive months, glossing over the fact that during Biden's term, millions were still missing from the labor force. But now, as EJ Antoni pointed out based on the recent September jobs numbers, "Net job growth in Sep was from full-time hiring and replacing part-time work w/ those full-time jobs; this is a welcomed improvement after the weakness earlier in the year."

Below: Amy Klobuchar tried to dunk on Trump by posting the below chart.

1, she was so stupid she didn't realize that the chart showed that electricity prices skyrocketed under Biden. Trump's ten months in office (for term 2) come right at the end of the chart.

2, the chart doesn't even show electricity prices. It shows how much people owe for past electricity bills. This means it's even more reflective of Biden's inflation than we thought, because people who owed money for past energy bills accrued under Biden's regime will still owe much/most of that money.
