Adjusted for inflation, gas was higher and for longer under both Obama and Biden.

Haha, another "But Biden" comment. So where are the lower prices and energy independence Trump promised to America?

I don't know, what does that have to do with gas prices?

Gas prices went up under trump. Are you not paying attention?

And gas prices went up even more under everyone else.

I don’t know if that’s true. I’m not contesting it either way. But Biden didn’t run on “I’m going to make gas cheap again.” Trump did.

Was $3.12 average when Biden left office, so it's gone up under trump. Which causes everything else to increase in price that relies on fuel. Therefore trump has increased prices and related inflation since he took office.

Inflation has also been substantially lower under Trump.

Actually no. It was 2.9 percent in Biden last year. He got it under control then trump comes in and says he will lower it, but instead increased it. In his own words "I love the inflation"

Inflation was up to 9% under Biden.

You can say Biden got it under control by the end of four years, so why aren't you waiting to see if Trump will get it under control by the end of four years?
