Fox "News" just showed this graphic about gas prices 🤣🍿….apparently Trump hasn’t lowered gas prices a even a penny

Even in the age of Trump, just staggering. Here is Steve Witkoff, an American offical, coaching a Kremlin adviser about how Putin should deal with Trump. “Congratulate the president on this achievement … that he is a man of peace.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This tweet will be “Exhibit A” in a lawsuit. The only question is whether Baker owns up to his recklessness to limit the damage, or tries to deny his hackery.
