Las Vegas 8,000 homeless on the streets. Starving to death. Families living in sewers. The American Dream. Growing up in a sewer!

But we’re WINNING BIGGLY Right ??????

The title of your article should’ve been Trump Fucks Americans and the entire global economy - Forbes is a sellout the Bent a knee a fucking piece of shit.

No it was the final straw but wages haven’t kept up w inflation year to year since 1978. Weve been poorer every year since and that’s before the mass price gouging masquerading as inflation since 2020and wtf do you mean “buffeted” Talk about obfuscating

Ya think?

Look at the Ports... they are empty; nothing is going out, or coming in. USA is already bankrupt, the governments, media and corporatocracy are hiding it until the Billionaires take all the profit they can; by dumping shit into pension funds by promising pension fund managers big jobs.

We're at peace with Iran? Lol..according to who and what time did this happen.

No "buffeting" in Vancouver. $135 to fill up my Mazda MPV. American voters are responsible for this worldwide s*** show.

And the majority voted for this even though the plan to FUCK us was in writing.

And oil will stay high because the oil companies need to pay their executives billions of dollars.

Forbes, please investigate: In 2011 the price of a barrel of oil was exactly the same as today $105. The price of gas was $0.70 to $1.00 cheaper than today. We're being fucked by the fossil fuel companies. Thanks to Citizens United, Fossil Fuel Corporations own 98% of both sides of DC. AGREE?

Stop using pictures of this gas station.

$7.61 per gal plus % 20 interest on your credit card debit.

Please get on the phone or email and tell your reps in DC wha you think about war with Iran. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. Please support 100% Democracy www.nationalfinancialplan.com

“Buffeted”? Is that the new politically correct word for “screwed”?

we haven't begun to feel the long term effects... the "optimism" they try to sell is bullshit... the COVID supply chain should have taught us something.. you cannot fix it over night no matter when the war ends bsky.app/profile/ogre...

And Forbes has been glazing Trump for 11 years now. Thanks.

Buffeted is an interesting word for being screwed over by the rich

Honestly, I haven’t seen gas prices jump like they did after Ukraine, and the Iran conflict hasn’t hit supply chains the same way. Are people actually feeling it, or is this just lingering inflation fatigue?

I didn't expect to see such truth-stretching from Forbes. Obviously economic optimism is WAY up from 2020-2021, and most prices are down. Fuel and flash memory are the main things that are much more expensive. Even my car insurance went down.

They don't control inflation. They just pretend they do. They have this mad theory that they can decrease inflation by decreasing the money supply by increasing interest rates on federal securities. Increasing costs decreases inflation? Paying more for national debt lowers prices?

No kidding. Who ever predicted that gas prices ”stabilizing” around $3 a gallon between 2024-2025 after 15+ years of wild fluctuations since the 2008 recession & middle east issues & Covid would go from $3.08 a gallon on March 1, 2026 to $4.94 for basic unleaded on 5/6/26 in a “red” city & county?

What about this Trump BS boasts about 'we are the greatest oil producing nation' & about we got Venezuela's oil? By that logic, we should be seen gasoline prices like in Venezuela, & prewar Iran, < $1.00/gal. Yea for Capitalism, Oil companies are raking in $ while US gas price is > $6/gal.😬

Going to be a lot of walking going on. YOU SEE, the "president" did this for the health of our nation. Another example of making America great!

Oh and today's "amazing" jobs report also shows wage growth stunk just as costs are rising.

atotalsolidwaste.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/t...

You shoukd be ashamed @forbes.com All of your reporting is just telling the poors how to spend less on food and vacations. Why don't you do some actual hard hitting reporting on how we can fix this damned mess trump and his cronies( like you)have thrown us into! Stop pretending this shit is normal!

I got 10 cents off at Kroger. $3.899 , got 1/2 tank for $20 Good thing I have a 10 gallon tank.

Buffeted? I serve vegetarian dishes with a slight scattering of meat, so the boys think we are having meat.

My car takes premium, yesterday was 509 in Wisconsin

They commonly pay over $6/gallon, so with the recent increases, it is probably over $7.

"People who have been consistently screwed by their government no longer hopeful government wants them alive"

Like the old school ones for the Play-Doh pizza kitchen…

America eyes would water if they were paying what we pay on the UK

The misery seen in the grocery stores is no longer by the underpaid workers required to constantly stock the shelves with daily and every other day deliveries. Customers look tense. Also theft is up on discretionary and impulse items they can no longer afford.

Disgusting defense of religious “leaders” holding a religious dedication service to that gold statue of him. This is the kind of stuff that the elite hucksters making millions in these new churches are willing to justify as a club feature for those spending $250,000 a year for membership there.

It’s why the felon is laughing & golfing & laughing at how he can fuck with the most lazy citizens on earth aka Americans!

Look at the correlation between HUGE oil shorts and PedoPINO Trump's "War Lie of the Week" every week. Who is making those hundreds of billions, and who is (essentially) PAYING for it?

And because he's a child rapist

Still? Wait untill they see what's coming.

That's a perfect description of the economic storm we're in. 'Buffeted' indeed.

Iran-UAE-Israel-USA war.

Are yall fucking stupid???

“Economic optimism”? I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck since birth, what the fuck is that?

trump's failed war.

"buffeted"

Oil at $100.00 a barrel sucks Half a Billion Dollars out of the pockets of American families every day $500,000,000.00 A DAY because of Fuzz Waldo

But we can spend a billion dollars a day just to get those gas prices even higher. And another billion dollars for an egotist's ballroom. Fuck America. Donnie-boy is the only one that matters.

Trump is killing this country

We will NEVER have peace if we have Republicans.

I think you mean, "consumers are hurt by Trump's disastrous war".

More and more everyday.

This is why we NEED to amend the Constitution in a big way. We're working on a broad, sweeping reform amendment that: - Gets all money out of politics - Protects voting and human rights - Bans gerrymandering - Sets term limits And much more. Full text drops July 4th. Follow us and stay tuned!

Why did you not cry when they were even higher under Biden????

Good. Every rightwing asshole who bought an enormous F250 to ride around with an empty bed… fuck you! Completely. $10 a gallon diesel is gonna rock

Markets are beginning to show they no longer buy the economic indicators released by this administration, which remain in drastic opposition of indicators collected from the financial sectors. Reality is begrudgingly setting in. www-cnbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.cnbc...

I was 3 when 9/11 happened, 10 when the subprime mortgage crisis hit, 22 when Covid broke out and now I’m in late 20s costing through yet another Trump presidency threatening to gut America far more than most people thought was possible. The bar is set so low its next to fucking dinosaur bones.

Buffeted? Who greenlit putting that word in the headline?

We need to remember that all of this is solely and only first felon’s fault. There was no problem in the straight of Hormuz before he decided to create another distraction to save his old orange ass from prison. The worst of the worst. 8647. Impeach, convict, remove, imprison.

Liar Trump, who bullies his sycophantic staff to do his bidding and lies to everyone, was led into a war on Iran – a war he called an 'excursion' –by warmongering Israeli criminal Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. Trump doesn't care about American soldiers dying or his destruction of America's economy.

What peace?

Yeah but peace in iran will help. Just that would take a humble and competent president at this point and we don't have one of those.

From $2.79 before Iran to $4.59 yesterday. Reports that tankers which move very slowly aren’t even delivering oil to refineries and stories about gas rationing are cropping up.

I really wish that the countries unite and sue Trump for making our lives so much more expensive with an illegal war. There are now people who can't afford commuting because of his inability to constrain himself.

Report the truth. US oil profits at $7 BILLION

If he had just taken his inheritance and put it into mutual funds is bad for the economy? The guy who's had more bankruptcies than I can count on both my hands and has put those on the backs of the American taxpayer is bad for the American economy? Holy shit who could have thought? Forbes, you SUCK

This!

The drumpf effect #kakistocracy

The "national debt" is propaganda. It is no reason for any action.

youtube.com/shorts/FFrRN...

When not even peace will help, only war will do...?

Which means that consumers are not positive about Trump no matter what he does. He's proven that he sucks when it comes to improving jobs, economy overall, or controlling prices. He's only a success to the stock market which he and his friends are making loads of money off of.

As someone put it: "when you 'drain the swamp,' you're just left with the scum floating on top."

Tax the rich?

#AnotherWar #OperationEpstein #RememberIraq

No shit. A conman grifter bankrupted casinos…

The Stupidity of Evil.

The only people thriving right now are the oil tycoons, the tech bros, and the conglomerate owners.

And yet there’s FAR less backlash than when prices rise under Dems, because ‘conservatives’ are goddamn hypocrites.

3/ Americans were promised stability and prosperity. Instead they got endless foreign entanglements, economic anxiety, and another transfer of wealth away from the middle class. The public is paying the price for policies they never voted for.

2/ Families are now being crushed at the pump, at the grocery store, and through rising monthly bills — while political elites and defense contractors remain insulated from the economic pain their decisions helped create.

1/ The Iran war is becoming another catastrophic policy failure paid for by ordinary Americans. Gas prices are exploding, inflation is surging again, and supply chains are starting to fracture while Washington insists everything is “under control.”

Because corporations won’t lower prices unless they’re forced, and Trump’s pedo-protecting republicans won’t pass laws that help people or put billionaires in check. The GOP scared voters into buying guns and promised affordability, what do they think will happen when their kids start starving?

All maga thank trumpie

The Republicans in my office haven’t said a word lol. They all drive gigantic vehicles.

I still feel it.

I live in a very rural/maga area in the southeast and have been putting those Trump "I did that" stickers on every pump I stop at and all the pumps at that gas station. You can order them on line. Plant those seeds people.

But gas prices will fall...fast...as soon as the war ends, right? Donny said the war was won over a month ago...so, the gas prices should be down soon. Right?

But they’ll just keep pulling out their credit cards, paying $7 a gallon if needed while they complain. We are a nation of sheep.

BIDEN shut down U.S. oil production,oil production has fallen under his tenure Biden did issue an executive order his first month in office that paused new oil and gas lease sales Biden’s orders direct the secretary of the Interior Department to halt new oil www.cnbc.com/2021/01/27/b...

But "daddy" said the "gas prices are way down" it's a good thing for him that maga can't count their money

Trump giving US gas stations that 'European' feel👏👏

Not enough people ARE fact checking. N they are stupid. (Eat your cake n shut up, citizen…)

I honestly think the guy who owns that gas station in front of Olvera St in LA purposely keeps the prices high just for the content.

Consumers feeling “buffeted” by rising costs brought on by the trump Iran Oil war, Should start Actively Boycotting High price Gouging Oil companies close Price Goughing Gas Stations including “soaring prices at the pump.” They work by Volume Stop buying over priced Gas

Fortunately, I work from home and most of the places I go to are literally within walking distance. My wife drives many places, but I cannot remember the last time I bought gas.

If it's a "very small price to pay" for his unlawful, unnecessary video war game of choice, then he should subsidize the public's gas prices out of HIS assets. I wish that I didn't have to self-censor my true opinion of this porcine, demented POS on social media! www.youtube.com/shorts/Tdkhw...

Not everyone has $$$ to switch… or they probably would. Meanwhile, one has to get to work to get the check that hardly covers what families need.

Feel free but, fascism always brings death, suffering and destruction. Millions will die.

Corruption, I think that's the word you were looking for.

The felon is laughing at Americans because he knows he can fuck then silly!
