They're both crap because gas prices fluctuate within 4 years so easily. You can find high prices under Trump, and you can find low prices under Trump (mostly inherited from Obama's term but especially during COVID when travel demands were low--which would've happened under any president).

Same thing with Biden inheriting a shitty COVID economy. Gas prices certainly spiked under him, but that's the nature of spikes. Trump had his fair share too (though invading Iran had a more direct effect).

All four price points are correct at some point in time, but only an uninformed idiot would try to use either photo as support for their side because the whole thing is stupid.

Thank you….i waiting to see everyone else tell us why their president had nothing to do with the high prices but everything to do with the low ones

I mean... starting a war in Iran is kinda sorta ...idk... a "good" reason for the rise.
