Blundering Trump drives diesel fuel to all-time high of $6.27/gal. Before MAGA's Iran War diesel was $3.68/gal.

And driving up the cost of everything you buy.
It is a fact if you bought it at some time in it's life it was on a truck.
If only the big rigs were electric vehicles, then the cost would be down....right? Fucking dunce.
The only time Trump wasn't presiding over a faltering economy was from 2017 to 2019 when he was able to ride the coat tails of the Obama economic recovery.

Yep. It was going good then Trump fucked that up too.
Noted sex past Cypress isn’t quoting supposed MAGA truckers. He’s licking the window of a Don (faggot) Lemon fantasy bus and calling it analysis.
The post:
That’s not an argument. That’s a known sex pest discovering that wars raise the cost of things and deciding the correct response is joy.
The clip itself undercuts the caption the sex pest made up.
The guy did not “cheer wildly.”
He says he still backs the objective (no Iranian nukes), still supports Trump, and is asking the administration to finish it because his fuel bill doubled and a $275k truck is sitting in the garage.
Sex pest Cypress heard “I still support you” and translated it as “please mock me while I bleed money.” That’s not wit. It's half wit.
On the numbers: AAA diesel is sitting at a record ~$6.27–$6.40. EIA weekly printed $6.285 for the week of Sept 14. Pre-conflict prints around $3.68–$3.76 are in the ballpark. So the price jump is real.
What isn’t real is the sex pest's morality play:
- Diesel also set a then-record in June 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. Same commodity, same freight economy, different president, same “gotcha” energy from the other side. I doubt that sex pest Cypress was posting “I love that Biden voters are paying $5.81” with a YouTube embed. Funny how the love only appears when the jersey matches.
- Owner-operators don’t just eat a $300 fill like a hobby. Fuel surcharges exist for a reason. The next guy in the thread already said the quiet part: pass it through or park the truck. Cypress the sex pest is celebrating the parking, not the economics.
- “$300 to fill the tank” is a punchline, not a tank size. A typical Class 8 is 100–150 gallons. At $6.30 that’s $630–$945 for a full fill, not a cute $300 gotcha. The guy in the video said what used to be ~$300 is now ~$600. Sex pest Cypress rounded the pain into a meme and missed the arithmetic.
The sex pest titled his take like a cable news chyron, then followed up with what amounts to “good, suffer.”
That’s not holding power accountable. That’s rooting for the fuel bill.
If the point is “wars have costs and this one is hitting freight hard,” the sex pest could've said that. No arguments there. War is hell/
But since his point is “I enjoy watching people I dislike lose money,” the sex pest is just a hater.
Diesel is expensive. Schadenfreude is cheaper. Cypress the sex pest bought the cheap stuff.
Is that so?

$300 to fill up their tank.
That is just ONE tank , 18 wheeler's have 2, 50 gallon tanks and at over $6 a gallon , $300 only fills one.

YEP that IS so.
Just go back and look at what was going on you moron.
Bush ran us into a recession almost a depression Obama got us out of it and back and track and Trump took over and fucked that up.
It is a FACT 10 of the last 11 Recession were started under Republican Presidents.

According to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) dating, the 11 post‑WWII recessions are:
1949, 1953–54, 1957–58, 1960–61, 1969–70, 1973–75, 1980 (Carter term), 1981–82, 1990–91, 2001, 2007–09, and 2020
Of these, 10 started during Republican administrations — Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump — and only one began under a Democrat (the January 1980 recession during Jimmy Carter’s presidency)
This pattern is widely cited in economic and political summaries, though economists stress it reflects timing conventions, external shocks, and the independent nature of the business cycle rather than proof that party control causes recessions
In short: The party in office when 10 of the last 11 recessions began was the Republican Party
Tbird just took the oldest bumper-sticker in the kit—“Obama built it, Trump rode it, then Trump ruined it”—and treated a Copilot snippet about recession start dates like it was the Dead Sea Scrolls.
That’s not analysis. That’s a guy who found a scoreboard that matches the jersey he wears and stopped reading.
Obama did not hand Trump a finished product. He handed him a recovery that had already taken eight years to get unemployment from 10% back to 4.7%, with the slowest postwar job rebound and a labor-force participation rate that never fully recovered.
The expansion was real. It was also mature, slow, and still carrying the scars of 2008.
Calling 2017–2019 “coattails” is like watching a runner finally hit stride in mile 7 and giving the credit to the guy who started the race in a ditch.
What actually happened in those three years: unemployment kept falling to a 50-year low of 3.5%, prime-age labor force participation rose, real wages for production and nonsupervisory workers rose, energy production hit records, and GDP growth in 2018 hit 3%.
That’s not “not faltering.” That’s the continuation plus tax reform, deregulation, and an energy policy that wasn’t trying to strand capital on purpose.
You can dislike the man. You don’t get to memory-hole the numbers because 2020 happened.
Then comes the closer: “10 of the last 11 recessions started under Republicans.”
That’s the kind of stat people repeat when they want their audience to stop thinking.
Recessions are dated by NBER after the fact. They cluster at the end of long expansions, after oil shocks, after Fed tightening, after asset bubbles, after pandemics.
Eisenhower got 1953 and 1957.
Nixon got 1969.
Reagan inherited Volcker’s medicine.
Bush 43 got 2001 and then 2007.
Trump got a novel virus that shut the world.
The business cycle does not check party registration at the door.
Treating start-year coincidence as causation is how you end up sounding like a guy who thinks umbrellas cause rain because they appear when it rains.
And the current diesel spike? That’s a 2026 Strait-of-Hormuz / Iran-war premium sitting on top of a freight economy, not a referendum on whether 2018 was “faltering.”
Diesel also printed records in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine.
Same commodity, different president, same “gotcha” energy from whoever’s out of power. Fake outrage over $6.30 gallon is not an economic model. It’s just cheaper and easier than reading EIA tables.
So no, Tbird.
“Look it up, moron” plus a recycled recession AI quote is not proof that Trump only ever presided over wreckage except when he was borrowing Obama’s homework.
It’s proof you stopped at the first talking point that felt good. The economy is bigger than your scoreboard.

And it IS a FACT Trump did fuck it up.
YOU are a real MORON.
Yeah, I think this MAGA trucker says it now costs $600 to fill his rig, and he can't make any profit with that kind of overhead.
The facts are what I posted. Ask Chief Pump-um-gas on the res.
The finger is the tell. When the argument runs out of gas you flip the bird and repeat the slogan. “Trump fucked it up” is not a rebuttal. It’s a bumper sticker with a pulse.
What Tbird is actually claiming: the only non-disaster stretch was 2017–2019, and even that was stolen valor from Obama; everything after is Trump’s original sin. That requires treating a global pandemic like a tax bill and treating a 2026 diesel spike from a shooting war like a 2018 jobs report.
2020 was not a policy recession in the 2008 sense. It was a deliberate, worldwide shutdown of travel, hospitality, and supply chains after a novel virus. Unemployment went from 3.5% to 14.8% in two months because governments closed the economy, not because the 2017 tax cut secretly contained a time bomb. Most of those jobs came back before January 2021. Calling that “Trump fucked the Obama recovery” is like blaming the guy who inherited a house for the tornado that hit it in year four.
The pre-COVID record is still sitting there: 3.5% unemployment, rising real wages for production workers, record energy output, 2018 growth that actually cracked 3%. You can argue the tax cut was too tilted toward capital. You can argue the deficit got worse. You cannot argue the labor market was “faltering” in 2019 unless your definition of faltering is “not yet a utopia.”
The finger plus “he fucked it up” is just the forum version of covering your ears. Recessions have start dates. They also have causes. Tbird grabbed the start-date graphic, skipped the causes, and now he’s flipping off anyone who points at the missing page. That’s not winning the thread. That’s admitting the numbers won’t sit still for the story.
Well, you are a known sex pest, so I doubt your judgment is fair or honest.

So with an average of 6.5 mpg. They can go 650 miles. So if you are a cross country trucker its almost its 3 fill ups and you better hope you have a load coming back where ever you haul too..........
Risible. How's the online sugar daddy thing workin' for ya, ho?
401k's and pensions are doing better under Trump than Biden. Obviously your broke ass knows zero about investing or the stock market. And I mean that as kindly as I can.
