That by September we will see Gasoline prices at a price with a 3 (per gallon) in the front (paraphrased).

I just want to point out the obvious. There's a big difference between $3.00 and $3.99. He would be correct in both instances, but $3.99 is a lot higher than $3.09 when Biden left office.

He said the first number of the price would be a 3, so, $32.099 a gallon.

I won't see 3 dollar gas...ever. Certainly gas will stay above 5 dollars the rest of the year or longer. Trump can't seem to find an exit strategy to hua 2 billion dollar a day war.

How this guy climbed the ladder to partner at Soros is a mystery.
He knows nothing about economics, finance, or how markets work.
Failed up. Just like his boss.
