For Fact's Sake: The president does not set the price of gas - Velshi - MSNBC



Republican presidential candidate and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis fed his supporters a false promise: that he would deliver $2 gas if he wins in 2024.

For Fact’s Sake, Ali Velshi explains why the president of this country does not have the power to tip the scales of the global oil market. No matter how much Ron DeSantis cries "woke" over President Joe Biden’s energy policy, $2 gas isn’t going to happen just because he says so. - Aired on 09/23/2023.

Don't these folks ever get that if a president - any president- could just snap his fingers and reduce gas prices (or food costs) that he would have done it ages ago.

That we would have not had these roller coaster rides of prices?
