American media is now so captured that it seems the only way the American people know anything is going wrong in the world is if they see the gas* prices rise.

*Petrol. They're talking about petrol.

In America, Trump supporters are describing the rise in gas (petrol. It's petrol) prices as "the final betrayal".

Which implies they were all pretty happy about ALL THE OTHER BETRAYALS.

I honestly don’t know the level of outrage has been substantial for some time. That budget they pass that cut everybody’s medical coverage such as it is in the US the trade war and everything else it stands and direct contradiction to everything he said he was gonna do.

But what a bunch of idiots he’s always done things completely at odds to what he promises

@GhostOnTheHalfShell
Well, yes, the higher fuel prices seem more like the final straw. But what a weird straw for it to be the final one, after everything else we've seen Trump do.
