In an unexpected turn of events, gas prices have dropped by an average of $4 across red states in the wake of Donald Trump’s recent election victory. This plunge at the pump has sent shockwaves through gas stations and social media alike, with Americans taking to the streets (and highways) to celebrate the apparent fuel windfall. With gas prices dropping faster than political yard signs in November, some say this is the first taste of a “new era” of prosperity under the returning president. Indeed, it’s being hailed as “just the beginning” of what Trump supporters are calling an economic renaissance.
“I can’t believe it,” said Mike, a truck driver from Texas, while filling up his Ford F-150 for less than $2 a gallon. “This is the kind of change we’ve been waiting for. They said he’d bring back the good times, but I didn’t think he’d start with gas prices!”
Across states that voted overwhelmingly for Trump, scenes of celebration are breaking out at gas stations. In towns across Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi, drivers are lining up for miles, thrilled by prices that they haven’t seen in decades. Families are posting triumphant selfies at the pump, brandishing receipts that proudly display $1.99 or even $1.50 per gallon. Memes with slogans like “Thank you, Trump!” and “This is what winning feels like” are flooding social media.
“It’s like Black Friday, but for gas,” said one ecstatic Alabama resident who drove an extra 30 miles to fill up at a $1.89-per-gallon station. “Usually, I’m watching that meter go up like it’s my phone bill. Today? It barely moved. I filled my whole tank for less than 30 bucks!”
