The Gas Price Gamble: Trump's Misguided Expectations Game As the world watched in suspense during the recent Iran war escalation, President Trump made a series of comments about gas prices that left many scratching their heads.
One of his closest allies in Congress, Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, has shed light on what may have been a deliberate attempt to manage public expectations.
According to Bacon, who appeared recently on "Face the Nation," Trump was being "honest" when he predicted that gas prices would remain stable or even decrease during the conflict.
