"Even when you're simply toeing the company line, repeating exactly what Trump himself said on a topic most recently, that won't shield you from his random flip-flops and reprisals."
"Trump, meanwhile, assured the publication that prices will fall 'as soon as this ends,' in reference to the still ongoing Iran War."
"Where, oh where, could Chris Wright have gotten such a crazy idea, to state that gas prices wouldn't come down by the end of 2026? Could it be that he got such erroneous information from ... Donald Trump himself?"
Being part of Donald Trump's inner circle is fraught with frustration due to his tendency to contradict and undermine his associates. Energy Secretary Chris Wright faced backlash after stating gas prices might not drop below $3 until 2027, despite echoing Trump's previous comments. Trump publicly disagreed with Wright, asserting that prices would fall soon. This unpredictability extends to other associates, creating awkward situations, such as JD Vance's book release coinciding with Trump's criticism of the Pope, highlighting the difficulties of aligning with Trump's shifting positions.
