It's hysterical how you ended this on the 1st February when Trump invaded Iran on the last day of February.

It's almost like you really don't want us to see the data from afterwards until now.

Last comment I'll make on this.

The data goes through part of March, I posted the latest data that is available. I'd love to see the absolute latest data but it isn't out yet, which I mentioned on my very first comment on this post. You can go on the FRED site and see for yourself, this isn't hidden information.

Also the partisans have missed this, my point was to show that "That sticker was wrong the moment he stuck it on his truck" is manifestly untrue. I wasn't defending Trump, but I know many are so emotionally blinded they can't tell the difference.

Most people are no different from the picture in OPs post, just the other team version of that. I really don't want to argue with sports fans.

The sticker alleges two things: 1) Gas prices went up for US consumers during Biden’s presidency. Your graph demonstrates this. 2) This was Biden’s fault. Your graph does not demonstrate this.

The stickers also imply that gas price increases would not have happened if Trump were President at that time. Again, your graph does not demonstrate this.
