🚨 Kudlow: “This is a BOOM”

@larry_kudlow: “The Atlanta Fed is saying the economy is growing at over 5% in real terms.”

“Retail sales are growing at 6%. Business investment, machinery, equipment, data centers — over 20%.”

“Productivity… is now growing the last two years, 3% annually. We haven’t had that since the Reagan ’80s.”

that's the shame of our current policy...end the war and the tariffs and we'd be me making our economy great again.

There are so many good things happening being drowned out by a couple of dumb policies

nobody cares...gas is $4.15 in today's dollars the average gas price was $2.91....in February 2026....This administration's policies are why...that's what people see and feel, and that's what they will vote on.

If republicans and Trump had any sense, they would have stopped this Iran thing right after the kinetic bombardments, declared victory and came home. But this 7 moth of dragged out, on again of aging "war" is not the American way. "people love a winner and won't tolerate a loser"...George Patton. Right now people see Trump as a loser. Republicans will pay in November. There is little they can do in the month or so before the election.

So everybody needs to suck it up...
Will respectfully disagree with you on this.

Trump is the one who got gas down in the first place so we even notice the difference. With democrats it would have just continued up. Just the facts.

LMAO, gas was $3.12 when Trump took office and $2.98 before the Iran War. We really crowing about .14 cents? And remember, presidents can't do much to affect the price of gas until Trump actually did make it go up drastically all by himself. He doesn't get credit for jack, only shame.

And for reference, diesel was ~ $3.75 before the war - now it's ~ $6.45 😲

Shame!

Lowest National Average Gas Price
The lowest national average price for regular gasoline during Donald Trump’s second term dropped to approximately $2.81 to $2.83 per gallon in January 2026. [1]

This is national average. It was down near 2 dollars a gallon in red states. Democrats cant do this.

Additionally the dumocrats had pushed the price down by releasing millions of gallons from the SPR to get near 3.00 a gallon.

TRUMP GOT GREENLAND

While democrats laughed in disbelief, President Trump just secured an “Infinite Life” agreement w/ the Kingdom of Denmark,

which gives the US permanent control over security & all other needs.

This is a massive win for national security.

Donald Trump is the first President to address this need & secure a deal.

No, gas prices did not go down by $2.00 in red states (or anywhere else) after Donald Trump took office in January 2025. [1, 2, 3]

📊 The Facts on Gas Prices
    • Modest overall change: The national average for regular gasoline was about $3.11 per gallon when Trump was inaugurated in January 2025 and averaged around $3.10 for the year—a drop of only about 21 cents from 2024 levels, not $2.00. [1, 2]
    • State averages: Even in states with the cheapest fuel (such as Oklahoma or Mississippi), average prices before 2025 were generally in the $2.50 to $3.00 range, making a $2.00 statewide reduction mathematically impossible since it would push prices close to zero or negative values. [1, 2]
    • Market fluctuations: While individual isolated stations occasionally featured promotional prices or brief dips under $2.00, statewide averages did not experience a multi-dollar collapse. By mid-2026, shifting global dynamics and conflicts pushed national averages back up over $4.00 a gallon. [1, 2, 3, 4]

BOOM!!!

Statewide average regular gasoline lows in red/Gulf Coast states dropped to approximately $2.40 to $2.50 per gallon (with individual station lows under $2.00–$2.10) in late 2025/early 2026. [1, 2, 3]

📊 Red State Lows (2023–2026 Window)
    • Oklahoma: ~$2.40 avg low (December 2025); individual stations dipped lower. [1]
    • Texas: ~$2.53 avg low (December 2025). [1]
    • Mississippi / Louisiana: ~$2.57–$2.60 avg lows (December 2025). [1]
    • Station-level anomalies: Rural/Gulf stations in TX/OK/MS briefly touched sub-$2.10 during late-2025 seasonal price troughs.
