lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President

Still more expensive than it was before the war lol

Also about as expensive as gas in LCOL red states and rural areas. The only thing this signifies is that high gas prices are here to stay, they're not going down again.

If Donald Trump had ANYTHING to do with these gas stations, I wouldn't even consider filling up there. Sounds like a great way to get water in your fuel tank and your credit card info stolen.

Okay, it says they're not collecting subsidies - how is this sustainable exactly?

Edit - oh I see it only has to survive until the midterms, while likely running other gas stations out of town. Brilliant plan.

You can see why they hated Chavez so much.

Welp, one nice thing about living in this banana republic: we'll never be invaded by the US.

Nope, the gestapo has been invading US cities for quite a while now.

Twenty of the stations are located in Pennsylvania, while five are in New Jersey

I'm sure that'll help people in Texas and Colorado.

Also: ewww, get that shit out of my state!

That’s more than I paid at Costco, dipshits.

The power of the People’s Hot Dog Combo has a mighty sway

Great, watered down gas at twice the price. I can’t wait. Merica!

Full of fuck-your-car ethanol, I suspect.

Isn't this communism? Government run businesses?

No, because there's "FREEDOM™" in the name.

Come on, somebody has to have the “I did that” stickers and live near one of these.
