In response to this segment, Breitbart\u2019s John Nolte remarked that CNN \u201cmust have been dying more than a little inside\u201d when they were compelled to acknowledge a significant economic achievement for the Trump Administration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\">\n<div id=\"aswift_4_host\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>During the segment, CNN\u2019s John Berman and Matt Egan discussed the decrease in gas prices, with Egan stating, \u201cThis is good news because it should be relatively cheap to fill up your tank this holiday weekend.\u201d He further noted, \u201cSo, Gas Buddy is projecting that the national average will be between $3.10 and $3.15 a gallon. This is considerably lower than the $3.49 a gallon from last Fourth of July.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\">\n<div id=\"aswift_5_host\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Egan continued by mentioning that Americans are spending \u201capproximately half a billion dollars less on gasoline this holiday weekend compared to last year,\u201d adding, \u201cAnd when we examine the trend, it is evident that gas prices spiked three years ago.\u201d He elaborated, \u201cWe were looking at nearly $5 a gallon on Fourth of July, correct? That was a nightmare, but prices have been trending lower since then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the White House offered further context regarding the four-year record in an article published on June 27, 2025, stating, \u201cAmericans are experiencing the lowest summertime gas prices since 2021 \u2014 over 20 cents lower than one year ago \u2014 as President Donald J. Trump fulfills his commitments to lower prices, stabilize inflation, and increase wages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the White House referenced an article from another left-leaning publication, the New York Times, which was also compelled to acknowledge President Trump\u2019s beneficial influence on the economy: \u201cSummer road trips seem to be shielded from a significant increase in gasoline prices. The national average price of gasoline has remained around $3.20 a gallon this week following the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Iran \u2026 And it is over 20 cents lower than it was a year ago. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the Wall Street Journal also highlighted the four-year record low in gas prices, indicating that the lower prices \u201cwould be advantageous for consumers during the warmer months when Americans tend to drive more. The publication further noted, \u201cLow energy prices thus far this year have already played a role in the economy\u2019s resilience and have assisted in keeping inflation under control.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<div id=\"aswift_7_host\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>When White House Communications Director Steven Cheung shared the CNN segment on low gas prices on X, he remarked, \u201cTHE TRUMP EFFECT: Gas prices are at a 4-year low record as Americans approach the 4th of July weekend, all due to President Trump\u2019s policies.\u201d In reaction to his remarks, conservatives expressed their approval, with one commenter stating, \u201cIt dropped another 12 cents where I live. It\u2019s surprising for it to decrease in the summer. It typically rises before a holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>View the CNN clip:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-rumble-com wp-block-embed-rumble-com\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/rumble.com\/embed\/v6th3kh\/?pub=4<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN found itself in a position of having to retract its previous statements when it reported that under President Trump, gas prices have reached a four-year low, a phenomenon that White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung referred to as \u201cTHE TRUMP EFFECT\u201d in a post on X. &nbsp; To provide context, on June 30,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"default","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
