$2.00 Gas Here We Come!
Kevin McCullough
Let’s just get this out of the way: $2.00 gas isn’t a fantasy. It’s not a fairytale. It’s not even a MAGA fever dream. It’s a freight train with Trump at the throttle and a full tank of American energy roaring down the tracks.
Naturally, this week the usual suspects freaked out. President Trump had the audacity to suggest—on social media, no less—that we’re on the verge of $2 gas. Cue the blue-check meltdown: “Disinformation!” “It’s impossible!” “He’s lying!” But here’s the problem with that narrative: he’s not wrong.
Let’s check the scoreboard, shall we?
On May 3, 2025, the national average for a gallon of regular gas was $3.17. Not two bucks yet, but it’s down 12.5% from last year—and a whopping 31% from Biden’s gas apocalypse in 2023 when Americans were coughing up $4.62 a gallon. That’s not “misleading.” That’s math.
In fact, under Trump’s second term, gas prices have done what the media won’t: come down to reality. They’ve returned to sanity—and the reason isn’t some magical OPEC wand-waving. It’s American energy, baby. It’s Trump unleashing the producers Biden tried to strangle with red tape, Green New Deal delusions, and climate cult policy.
