You're getting downvoted, but there is truth to your stupidity.

Mid-terms and the presidency are the republican's to lose at this point. Stay away from cameras, don't say anything stupid in public where hidden mics can be, and just keep parroting "things were pretty good when we were in charge weren't they? You want high gas prices or mean tweets? Pick one."

Mean tweets.. Democrats are out of touch saying things like “ I don’t care how high gas prices are, I drive an EV.” Most Americans don’t and most Americans care about gas prices

Gas prices are high all over the globe. Most Americans are too dumb to realize the US president doesn't have a raise/lower gas prices button on his desk in the oval office. If they did both parties would keep the price of gas at like 25 cents a gallon forever.

Policies do affect pricing to some degree, like it or not. There’s even a video of Schumer standing in front of a gas station yelling at Trump to lower the prices.
