The Junior Vance Clown Show: "The Dip and the Blip"

Graphic:  AAA

Headline:  The Hill, 3/18/2026

Julia Manchester reports:

“Look, gas prices are up, and we know they’re up, and we know that people are hurting because of it, and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that they stay lower,” Vance said when asked about rising gas costs by a reporter at a campaign-style stop in Auburn Hills, Mich. “The president said this, and I certainly agree with it: This is a temporary blip,” he continued.

On March 18th, the average price of gas was $3.84.  51 days later, it's $4.56.  That's an increase of almost 20%.  Heckuva job, Junior!
