Is there a compilation somewhere of all the times old tweets from Trump directly argue against current Trump? It seems to happen quite frequently, and my google-fu has failed me.

The executive branch doesn't generally impact the price of gasoline, except through complex indirect mechanisms.

Starting a war in the place all of our oil goes through is pretty goddamn direct and pretty goddamn simple.

2012-2014 prices were high due to refinery issues and hurricane interruptions to gulf coast production. 2026 prices are high because Trump actively chose to start a losing war.

I'm sure what baffles me more; the fact that Trump has been using the 'high gas prices' as a campaign tactic since 2012 or that fact that people believed it.
