    Yup, they published a list of 25 gas stations offering the lower prices and apparently none of them actually existed.

    So the Freedom Fuel Network, as a “private company” just decided to do this on their own? For the good of society? And happened to price a gallon at $3.47 for the president?

      Which is funny because gas is pretty much (at least in my area) exactly $2 more per gallon than it was before his inauguration.

    The spokesperson said the Trump administration is not involved with the company and is not subsidizing the gas stations, adding that the stations can offer lower prices by reducing their profit margins.

    Yes, because famously gas stations make a ton of money on gas sales… pull someone else’s leg, mine is long enough already.

    “Thanks, Trump, for saving me some money,” said a customer based in Philadelphia, where the state average for a gallon of gasoline is $3.98.

    So which is true? If Trump and/or the government have nothing to do with it, then IDK, maybe thank whoever is choosing to take a loss selling gasoline below market price. If it is Trump and/or the government, then why is this company saying that it isn’t being subsidized?

      Bullshit. These stations are in his pocket

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/freedom-fuel-gas-station-linked-181004904.html

      According to GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan, the “Freedom Fuel Network” was registered on June 23, 2026, to Corporation Trust Company, a registered agent that has previously been used by Trump-related entities.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if he managed to cut his buddies a sweet deal for Venezuelan oil, and this is how they are repaying him

      They’ll sell at a loss to get the President to advertise for them on TV

      In a week they’ll be the same price, in a month they’ll be higher due to idiot tax.

      They want people to make their gas station their personality, and trumpets are dumb enough to do it.

      Gas is already a loss-leader for most gas stations…it’s not their primary business. The shit you buy when you’re waiting for the gas pump is where they make their money.
