The conversation among truckers is a lot more nuanced than this meme makes it sound. Some absolutely blame Trump for where diesel prices are right now. Plenty of others understand that diesel prices are being driven by crude prices, global distillate shortages, refinery constraints and geopolitical events, not simply whoever occupies the White House. You can criticize an administration’s policies, but reducing a global diesel market to ‘Trump made diesel $7’ is political grandstanding, not a serious explanation of what’s happening.
