Trump in 2020: 'If Biden' Becomes President, You'll Pay $7 For a Gallon of Gas
CNSNEWS ^ | MARCH 8, 2022 | MICHAEL W. CHAPMAN

During a campaign stop on Nov. 2, 2020, then-President Donald Trump touted the low gasoline prices of the time and warned that if Joe Biden became president, Americans would end up paying $7, $8, even $9 a gallon. 

Trump also said that, in response to those high gas prices, the Biden administration would tell people to get rid of their cars.

"It's an incredible thing that's happened over the last few years, a lot of great things," said Trump. "And you’re paying, what, $2 a gallon for your gasoline? 

If Biden got in, you’d be paying $7, $8, $9. Then they’d say, 'Get rid of your car.'"

Currently, the average price for a gallon of gas is $4.17. In blue California, the average is  $5.44 per gallon.

On Sunday, ABC7 reported that a gas station in Los Angeles was selling regular gasoline for $6.99  per gallon.  The "plus" grade of gasoline was selling for $7.19 a gallon. (See video report here.) 

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg touted "clean energy" and electric cars, stating, "Clean transportation can bring significant cost savings to the American people as well. Last month we announced the $5 billion investment for a nationwide electric vehicle charging network, so that people from rural, to suburban, to urban communities can all benefit from the gas savings of driving an EV [electric vehicle].”

Also on Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris urged Americans to "imagine a future" with electric vehicles.

Yes. Gas hit $7.19. It’s now $6- plus

Obama said he wanted to push it up to Ten Dollars a gallon so… hang on. This government- created inflation isn’t anywhere over with yet

Not so bad. It was already $5.00 a gallon when Biden took over as president so only $2.00 more.

At least that’s what Biden said today. Who you gonna believe, the president or your own lying eyes?

Fill her up before the Mid terms. The numbers are about to go into an entirely new realm, no matter who takes the House & Senate.

hey brother,

hopefully y’all are working hard for Peter (Pedro) Hernandez against the 30 year queen bee of DC. We can’t lose Holister/Gilroy to that monster.

oh man. as a complete unknown, he was within striking distance in the primary. I’ll ask about signs, maybe he doesn’t have the money for them. I just walked a precinct for Peter in SJ and am in the process of walking another.

they chopped up SCC and San Jose to get her into taking the southern valleys. imo calculated risk them trying to extend her power base from SJ. people i’m talking to up her are open to change. just no name recognition. trying to change that one house at a time. we’re up over 30,000 visits up her.

man

super busy over the next week otherwise I would do walks and knocks with you guys. SCRNC called and email but, I can’t get out of these things.

Oh well, I wasted my time in 2020/2021 with all the rallies up and down the state only to be robbed in the dead of the night of all my work....

I planned on a hangover and was going to happy about it too.

Woke up the next morning late, as I planned, and thought “Why the hell did I drink last night?”

I’ll be back it after Orange Man announces...

Yep

I have a picture of that gas station, which is across from the Beverly Center and I recall the prices were about that high.

Do y’all realize just how long this mess is going to last because of under investment in oil and gas? Years and years and years probably even if the end of this monstrosity of a term results in a complete reversal of policy.

There will not be any respite even if the house and spinate become all conservative. The monstrosity of regulation will prevent any meaningful change for the better.

And this mess has all been created by this administration. Totally artificial causes for an energy crisis and inflation.
