I'm calling it here and now:

After the #Xi summit, #China will convince its ally #Iran to make concessions to Donald #Trump in exchange for allowing #Chinese cars into the US Market. Trump doesn't give a crap about the US #Automobile industry. He just wants to be perceived as "winning"

Look for y'all's #gas prices to surge today if they haven't already. My closest town is a small town, Salyersville, KY, that's usually on the lower end of the average gas price nationally. Regular unleaded jumped 30 cents to $4.50 a gallon today.

The head pedophile in charge was right about one thing. If this is winning, I'm tired of it.

Why gasoline prices fell but then started climbing again

The price of a gallon of regular gasoline climbed 31 cents in the past week, spiking to an average of $4.48 per gallon Tuesday, according to AAA. That's up 50% since the war with Iran began. Many drivers were hopeful in mid-April, amid signs that the conflict could be winding down, and gasoline prices fell daily for almost two weeks. But as the war continued, gasoline prices reversed course and began increasing again. And energy experts say that even once the war ends, it will take months for gasoline prices to return to pre-war levels.
