Grandpa Pudding Brains’ White House has opened 25 “Freedom Fuel” gas stations around Philadelphia, selling gas below the national average, because socialism becomes freedom when you slap a flag decal on the pump.
USA TODAY reports the stations are selling gas at $3.47 a gallon, below the $3.79 national average, and that the White House promoted the launch with a video of customers thanking Trump for cheaper gas. The move comes after months of volatile fuel prices tied to crude oil shocks, the U.S.-Iran war, and shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
The White House announced the initiative on July 7 on X with a video of customers thanking President Donald Trump for lowering gas prices. The gas stations are located in the greater Philadelphia area, the White House told USA TODAY in an email on Tuesday, July 7.
In the video, one customer claimed the gas station saved him money. “I thought gas was more expensive, but it’s not,” the man, who was not identified, said. “Thanks, Trump, for saving me some money.”
The gas is subsidized. The irony is premium.
Riiiight. . . national health care "isn't free, someone's paying for it" but government subsidized gasoline is cheaper because of. . . magic, maybe?
Are the rest of us paying for this, or is it some kind of bribe deal?
