"I can just see the fake headlines," Trump said. "President Trump is talking about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump."

"But I said, ‘I don't give a damn, I'm gonna say it: We're making a frickin fortune,’" he added.

"I can see the fake headlines: Trump says thing that Trump believes."

"But I don't give a damn, (says thing that "fake" headlines say)"

The "fake headlines" that say the thing you just said...?

Every day I'm in awe that this man made it anywhere near the oval office. Just completely unabashed stupidity comes out of his mouth constantly. Even if it wasn't horrendously crooked (which it is), or criminal (which it also is), or callous, it would just be fucking stupid .

Because as long as he is pissing in minorities faces too, it's acceptable for them.

They are just brainwashed.

USA is also making a fortune on the Russian war on Ukraine. And Trump doesn't give a shit about Ukrainians dying every day.
Trump is a psycho or rather malignant narcissist which is even worse than psycho- and sociopath combined.
And Americans are evil as a country for voting him in.

He has a magical ability to just say the quiet part out loud and win more support. Bonkers.

Commuting is not deductible. Can't afford gas to get to work? Too bad.

Doing the same thing the Biden admin was doing for groceries, but for gas prices. How can the economy be bad, my investment portfolio is doing amazing! Ironically, the very same flub that gave him his second term in the first place.

It's because his usage of 'fake' doesn't mean what one might think. He simply means a headline that he doesn't like.

It would be great if there were consequences. But instead we were preached at every day "and justice for all" while we get justice for none

It's not even the 1% anymore. It's the 0.01%.

You can even see this in the enclave cities where everyone is a millionaire. They're experiencing a round of gentrification as the billionaires come in and bulldoze a row of 5 million dollar mansions to build compounds.

It's absolutely wild.

It should be, people do get it covered. Talk to your union rep if the company doesn't cover your commute.

If it's covered then it's a business expense. You can deduct it from your taxes and get the non-tax value as compensation.

The companies don't need to cover the gas tax. Which is what you can deduct.
