In a surprising turn of events, CNN recently had to acknowledge that gas prices have plummeted to a four-year low during Trump’s administration. A sight that, for some, must have felt like witnessing a unicorn in broad daylight.
The network highlighted that a significant number of Americans are gearing up for road trips this July 4th weekend, surpassing travel figures from recent years.
This development arises after months of relentless critiques from Democrats and various media platforms, claiming that Trump was dragging his feet on reducing fuel prices. Now that prices are dropping, one might expect these critiques to fade into the background like an old sitcom rerun.
The Washington Examiner provided further insights into this price shift:
Gas prices: Fuel costs continue to decrease, reaching the lowest June average since 2021
According to AAA, the national average price for regular gas dropped to $3.185 per gallon on Monday, marking the most affordable June average in the past four years.
This latest decline follows several days of gradual reductions in fuel costs. The current average is notably cheaper than last week’s $3.22 per gallon and significantly lower than the nearly thirty-cent hike from last year, when the average was around $3.491.
Moreover, this Monday’s price means that June will conclude with the lowest national average for regular gas since 2021, a stark contrast to the staggering $5.032 per gallon experienced under Joe Biden in June 2022, which was historically the highest in the nation.
In addition, Monday’s gas prices were also lower than May’s average of $3.278, as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Now, brace yourselves for CNN’s coverage of this development. One can only imagine the internal conflict it must have caused:

This is merely the beginning. As fuel prices continue to drop, we can expect a ripple effect, leading to reductions in the prices of other goods.
