⛽ Freedom Fuel: Another Trump Hoax or Just Unpaid Gas?

Live from the pumps Trump swore were pure patriotism. Regular $3.99, diesel $4.68, margin so thin it might be negative. White House called it love of the USA and slashed profits. Mansfield Oil’s lawsuit calls it roughly $4 million in fuel KRSM lifted and never paid for, some of it landing at these exact stations. Loss-leader PR so classic it should come with a receipt that says “IOU.” Even at zero profit the price still doesn’t bury the old numbers.

The problem is there is no $3 gas nowhere. Not even the Trump-promoted Freedom Fuel stations can offer it, and those do not even pay their supplier. That is so Trump. The problem is the Trump war. And there is nothing he can do about it.
