Still, Trump promised to cut energy prices in half by reducing regulations and buildings pipelines. He  did reduce regulations and pipelines were built. However, energy bills have increased as much as 13%.

Perhaps, instead of promising to cut energy prices in half via deregulation and pipeline construction, he should have mentioned all of those excuses?

Indeed. He didn't promise us unlimited AI generated porn or ChatGPT giving us recipes for sauteed squirrel like Custard and his buddies are salivating over down there in Arkansas.

If Trump were actually serious about lowering energy prices, and as Custard says, AI is the problem, why isn't Trump doing anything about the problem instead of putting out executive orders for new AI buildouts?

We certainly will find out when the shitload of class actions claims are filed on behalf of customers when the businesses get their "refunds" from the admin.

I warned a client 2 months ago about this as they are one of the businesses suing the admin over the tariffs. Warned them to be ready to get sued once that money comes back.

ThePAOTCMan sent the client this....

Costco is one of thousands of companies that started filing claims this month for tariff refunds from the federal government. But a Chicago-area shopper wants the retail giant to pass along those refunds to its members.

Costco customer Matthew Stockov filed a class action lawsuit last month in the Northern District of Illinois Court to prevent the company from “double recovery,” or benefiting twice from the refund process.

“Costco is poised to be paid twice for the same unlawful tariff burden: once by its customers (through elevated prices) and once by the U.S. government (through tariff refunds),” according to the complaint.

The lawsuit said Stockov purchased items like electronics, food, household items and small appliances at inflated prices due to tariffs. And it said company executives acknowledged the price increases, citing a May 2025 earnings call where Costco Chief Financial Officer Gary Millerchip said prices were raised for certain products from Central and South America “because we felt that was something that the member would be able to absorb.”

Costco didn’t respond to a request for comment.

A similar lawsuit against Costco over tariff refunds was recently filed in Washington. Other companies, like Lululemon, FedEx, Nintendo and Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica, are also facing lawsuits from customers. Lululemon, like Costco, is accused of “double recovery” regarding the unlawful tariffs, in a complaint filed March 27.

You call this “spin” when democrats do it. No one with half a brain thought he was cutting energy in half. Gas was cut a lot though until March 1.

You're gonna be posting the pre-war prices until the 2028 election and claim that's what you are paying.

I haven’t paid over $4 yet for war gas except when I was in Illinois in late March. I hate Illinois nazis.

Paid $5.50 in California last October which was more than it was in Hawaii in February

But you’ve been on the record in the past that gas and food are too cheap so this is really just about your narrative. You didn’t expect anyone to remember that, so based on your true feelings you should be loving Trump right now.

I really loved watching Hegseth try to straw man Ro Khanna yesterday. Khanna pointed out that gas prices have gone up a lot since the war, and Hegseth just says "Yeah but what are you doing about the price of gas in California, which is much higher?"

CA gas prices 3 months ago were below the current National average. The price has gone up everywhere, and it's the war caused delta that is the problem.

In this world basically, economics rules. If you want to live somewhere nice, or with reasonable economic opportunity, you will pay more. If you want to pay well below the national average for a gallon of gas, you can do so, but you have to live in a shithole state where you make less money and the place sucks.

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.
