"Gas prices will drop like a rock"... [View all]

That is what Trump said would happen as soon as the Strait of Hormuz was open and the oil tankers begun to flood the market with oil.

By simple supply and demand, we can expect prices to drop. However, they do not usually drop "like a rock". They tend to take a little longer to fall than to rise.

But, several months out, it is unlikely Democrats will be able to use that as a campaign issue. However, there is the inflation issue on everything else, including groceries. I suspect that will still be an issue come November.

Trump will brag that he won the war because the price of gasoline went down. But, he did not win the war. The world is in a much worse place because of his aggressive war of choice. He has greatly harmed our alliances around the world, including the Middle East. He has chopped off his nose to spite his face.
