Trump Gaslighting

Donald Trump is struggling with high gas prices

Donald Trump promises that gas prices will be low again as soon as his war, excuse me, excursion is over. This is like his promise that COVID would magically disappear after 15 cases in the United States.

Gas prices increased in Biden's term mostly because Russia invaded Ukraine. Biden didn't cause that, and he couldn't have prevented it. If there is one American who has some blame for Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, we can point the finger at Donald Trump. Trump's defeat in the 2020 election probably made Putin believe he couldn't get anything else out of the guy, most of all, the destruction of NATO, so he went ahead and invaded Ukraine.

All the blame for today's high gas prices lies clearly on Donald Trump because he started a chosen war with Iran, which cut off the Strait of Hormuz. The rise in gas prices is not natural or organic. This should not just make Americans mad at Trump, but the entire world, that is, unless you are making a lot of money off of high gas prices, like Russia is, and, I don't know, the Iranians?

During this war, Donald Trump has lifted sanctions on Russia and Iran to sell oil. They are actually making money off this war thanks to Donald Trump. When this chosen war is over, Iran might actually be in a better position to finance and export terrorism in the Middle East. Russia will have more money to continue its illegal war on Ukraine.

High gas prices are not a Democratic hoax; they are real. Donald Trump is to blame for the long lines at TSA in airports. He is to blame for the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, not NATO for refusing to help Trump clean up a problem he started. And finally, Donald Trump cannot blame Joe Biden for today's high gas prices. Again, this is all entirely Donald Trump's fault.

Everyone who predicted that Donald Trump would be a failure as president and that voting for him would be a huge mistake was correct. And while we blamed it on Trump for today's high gas prices, we can blame everyone who voted for him as well.

It's almost like the American president is a moron.

Creative note: I started this cartoon on Wednesday and did the lettering that night. Yesterday, I inked the entire cartoon. Just before I started coloring, the news broke that Attorney General Pam Bondi had been fired, so I put this aside to work on a cartoon on that issue. I don't normally draw a national cartoon on Fridays if I'm going to draw a cartoon for the Fredericksburg Advance, which I am doing today, but since all I had left to do to finish this cartoon was to color, it I went ahead and finished the cartoon.
