He never intended to keep them. They were just hollow pledges of things that he knew he couldn&#8217;t accomplish, but was compelled to flagrantly lie because he was so desperate for the votes that he needed to regain power and to stay out of prison.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70289\" target=\"_blank\">Republican James Comer Gives Fox News a Damn Good Reason to Vote Democratic and Flip the House<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another vacant promise that Trump made was that he would reduce the prices on necessities like groceries, housing, healthcare and gas. Instead, prices for those things went up after Trump&#8217;s reoccupation of the White House. And especially with regard to gas, the American people were burdened with higher costs directly related to Trump&#8217;s reckless and illegal war against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s a pathological liar to do when he finds himself sinking to record lows in public approval due to problems that he created and for which he has no solution? Well, in Trump&#8217;s case, he relies on his imagined prowess for lying. On July 1, Trump <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39658\" target=\"_blank\">posted a comment<\/a><\/strong> on his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70107\" target=\"_blank\">dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, that said&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Just as I promised, Oil Prices are plummeting FAST, and Gas Prices at the pump are dropping too&#8230;I am pleased to announce that a VERY smart Retailer, located throughout the Northeast, is stepping up, and wishing the People of Philadelphia a &#8216;Happy Birthday!&#8217; On July 3rd, the Freedom Fuel Network will be lowering gas prices at 25 &#8216;FREEDOM FUEL&#8217; Stations across the Greater Philadelphia Area. This Retailer is taking the lead, and others should follow. They are doing this because they love the U.S.A.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On the morning of July 7, Trump followed up his announcement with another that said that <em>&#8220;FREEDOM FUEL HAS ARRIVED&#8230;lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FREEDOM FUEL HAS ARRIVED. ????<\/p>\n<p>The FIRST Freedom Fuel Network gas station has LANDED in Philadelphia, lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump is leading the charge to lower gas prices this summer &#8211; putting more money in your pocket. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lcrCuioQv5\">pic.twitter.com\/lcrCuioQv5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; The White House (@WhiteHouse) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WhiteHouse\/status\/2074499867989123417?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>There&#8217;s just one little problem. Trump&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Freedumb Fuel&#8221;<\/em> is not a real gas station chain: It is a promotional branding campaign that has fitted a measly half dozen existing stations with temporary signs plastered over those of the real station. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GasBuddyGuy\/status\/2074520499611181321\" target=\"_blank\">Industry analysts noted<\/a><\/strong> these discounts are likely subsidized by an outside entity, as standard retailers would otherwise lose money on each gallon sold. <\/p>\n<p>So the whole thing is just another Trump scam. It won&#8217;t last but a few days. It&#8217;s promotional price of $3.47 per gallon was chosen by Trump to honor himself as the 47th president. Even so, it&#8217;s still significantly more than the $3.12 per gallon that Trump inherited from President Biden, and which Trump promised to get down to $2.00.<\/p>\n<p>Just like every other Trump fraud, this one is going to cause more problems for the American people. Gas prices are likely to go higher since the the Iran war is continuing, despite Trump insisting on an almost daily basis that it is already over.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s solution of throwing a sheet over all of the problems that he can&#8217;t solve isn&#8217;t going to work. It&#8217;s just going to make things worse. And while he may believe that people don&#8217;t see through his lies, he will find out in November that he&#8217;s wrong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70285\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70267\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Reveals His Midterm Election Theme: \u2018If The Communists Get In You\u2019ll Never Fish Again\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70215\" target=\"_blank\">UH-OH: Trump Admits that His Phony \u2018Save America Act\u2019 is Really Meant to Rig Elections for MAGA<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump made a flurry of promises that he said he would fulfill on &#8220;Day One&#8221; if he were reelected.
