These high ass gas prices won't be MAGA?!!
New York (CNN Business)US gasoline prices are becoming a real pain for motorists, particularly in the west.
A survey of more than 5,000 gas stations conducted by AAA shows that the average price for a gallon of regular gas is now $2.75, up 11% in the last month. And the average price is already above $3 a gallon in six western states: California, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Alaska.
Four-dollar gas is the average in a couple of California counties. Many others are within a few cents of that mark, including San Francisco, where the average price is $3.98. The statewide average in California is up 20 cents a gallon, or 5%, to $3.83 in just the last week.
The Midwest has also been hit by price spikes. The average price in Chicago has jumped 46 cents a gallon, or 16%, to $3.27 in the last month.

Why are you complaining? High gas prices mean people buy more fuel efficient cars. Just another example of someone who says they care about global warming but don’t like having to sacrifice anything themselves.

I do believe he is implying hypocrisy on Trump's part given Trump taking credit for lowering gas prices at an earlier time
"Trump claims credit for cheap gas"

In reality, a President has little control over gas prices, may be able to influence such in a long run, but is incapable of reversing sudden or market changes.
However, just like the Stock Market, and unlike most prior Presidents, this reality doesn't seem to influence Trump, when indicators are up he is quick to take credit, when down, goes quiet, or blames somebody else. He knows the Trumpkins will only remember the former and forget the later, the 'singalman" is just reminding them
Liberals generally vote for higher taxes, etc, until.....it actually affects them personally.
