Many Americans are cutting back on everyday expenses as gas prices soar due to President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, now approaching the 10-week mark. About 44 percent of Americans said they’re driving less due to high gas prices, while 42 percent said they’ve slashed household expenses, according to a Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll. In addition, the poll revealed that 34 percent have altered travel or vacation plans. Americans are changing their behaviors as national average gas prices hit $4.43 per gallon Saturday, according to the AAA motor club. This time last year, the national average was just $3.15 per gallon. Patrick de Haan, a petroleum analyst for GasBuddy, said Saturday’s average price marked a sobering new record. “The national average price of gasoline has never been higher on the second day in May than it is today,” he wrote on X.

        Couldn’t win against a well known rapist, racist, bankrupt, and a pedophile.

        That wasn’t an opponent, it was pathetic attempt at even trying.

        If you’re against a dumpster fire of a persom, and the dumpster fire wins, i don’t think whining about the “voters” works. But keep doing you, i hope she sees this. 🤞
