The American people are basking in the glow of lower gas prices this Labor Day, and the credit goes to President Trump’s energy agenda. It’s clear that focusing on American energy production works, reducing the average gas price to $3.15 per gallon, the cheapest since 2020. This isn’t just a random economic hiccup; it’s the result of policies that prioritize American independence over foreign interests.
Let’s talk about the policies that propelled this change—policies that abandon the restrictive environmental red tape of past administrations focused on so-called “green” energy. Trump’s approach supports more drilling and energy exploration right here in the United States. These actions aren’t just buzzwords; they’re job creators and cost reducers. While the previous administration fed into globalist climate fantasies that skyrocketed costs, Trump’s strategy is delivering tangible results for everyday Americans.
As Americans make their Labor Day weekend travel plans, they are enjoying five-year-low gas prices thanks to President Trump fully unleashing American energy dominance.

Are we surprised that half of the states have seen localized price increases due to refinery outages? Hardly. It’s an unavoidable reality when transitioning away from the misguided policies of the past. Despite these localized hiccups, prices are expected to drop further with the seasonal transition to winter blends.
The liberal left can scream about climate change all they want, but Americans are seeing the real impact in their wallets. This GOP-led energy agenda is demonstrating that a strong America is not only possible, but it’s also practical. By making us energy independent, Trump is standing up against foreign oil dependency and demonstrating true leadership.
Why should Americans pay heed to more green energy scams concocted by elitists when there’s a clear path to prosperity and affordability? The choice is evident in the price at the pump. Lower costs mean more freedom for hardworking families. Isn’t that what America is truly about?
