"The gas price spike, in particular, is historic. We are talking about the largest monthly increase in gas prices since tracking it began in 1967. Nearly 60 years. Thanks, Donald. This is what happens when you let a con man with no grasp of geopolitics and no genuine interest in peace play war games on behalf of 330 million Americans."

"Remember when Trump claimed inflation was zero? Yeah. No. Year-over-year inflation hit 3.3% in March, the highest since May of last year. But the month-over-month number is what really should make your stomach drop: 0.9% in a single month. That is the biggest one-month jump since June 2022. Gas prices surged 21% in March. Fuel oil is up 31%. Airfares jumped 15%."
