Gas prices crept up to $2.984 per gallon to start March, marking a modest five-cent weekly increase as Middle East tensions with Iran threaten global energy markets. But here's what the mainstream media won't tell you: Americans are still paying dramatically less at the pump thanks to President Trump's relentless push for energy dominance.
The current national average represents just an 11-cent rise since February began, when prices sat at $2.87 per gallon. Compare that to the economic nightmare Americans endured under the Biden regime, when gas prices routinely soared above $4 and even $5 per gallon in some states.
Trump's Energy Revolution Delivers Results
What's keeping prices stable despite Iran's latest provocations? Trump's "Drill, baby, drill" agenda is working exactly as promised. From day one of his second term, this administration has unleashed American energy production, slashed red tape, and told environmental extremists to take a hike.
"We're not going to be held hostage by Middle Eastern dictators or woke climate policies ever again," Trump declared during his recent visit to Texas oil facilities. "American energy means American independence."
"Under Trump, we're producing more oil than any country in history. That's the real reason families aren't getting crushed at the gas station like they were under Biden."
Energy Secretary Chris Wright's aggressive permitting schedule and the completion of key pipeline projects have transformed America into the world's energy superpower. While Iran rattles its sabers, American producers are pumping oil and natural gas at record levels.
Patriots Remember Biden's Energy Disaster
Let's not forget the pain inflicted by four years of Biden's war on American energy. Canceled pipelines, banned drilling permits, and kowtowing to climate cultists nearly bankrupted working families. Soccer moms were choosing between filling up their tanks and buying groceries.
Now, even with geopolitical tensions pushing prices up slightly, Americans are keeping more money in their pockets. That's what happens when you elect a president who puts America First instead of pandering to environmental extremists and foreign adversaries.
The question every patriot should ask: How much higher would gas prices be right now if we still had energy-hating Democrats in charge?
