Gasoline prices falling under Trump
So what? So too is water wet under Trump.
I'm not saying the price of gasoline isn't falling. I'm saying that gasoline's price falling is little but an emotional satisfier, not a germane indicator of an economy's health or declination/lack thereof.

Falling oil prices are usually a result of decreased world demand, which isn't a good economic indicator.
At any date, I expect to see a thread about how Trump has caused a reduction in the rate at which cats get run over by cars.
Trump has been instrumental in opening up domestic oil production in the US, which has led to declining prices at the pump. Leftist liberals and environmentalists are enraged, but consumers are delighted. I don't think environmentalists have as much support from Americans when Americans begin to understand how much environtalism enthusiasm translated into bad public policies drives up consumer costs.

“No one, not the Saudis nor the U.S. President, has a handle on a joystick that can tilt [oil] prices dramatically one way or another.”
More likely to be a thread about Trump causing more cat deaths, but your point is taken.

In this day and age, media is balanced if we count actual media. The whole "MSM" thing tied to cable networks is silly. People get their news from every damn place. Just as much left-leaning is now available to right-leaning, given the whole totality of media. And I most certainly do not see a situation where left-leaning media is measurably more ridiculous than right-leaning. It's all over the place.
So, to be fair, we might have salon.com and breitbart fighting about whether or not Trump caused the increase in cat deaths, when in reality he had jack to do with it either way.
Why always the glass half empty. It is also caused by excess supply. The waivers given on Iran sanctions caught producers by surprise. In addition we are producing record amounts in the U.S.
Threads being started have little to do with any reliable news source being cited as cause for them.

it's creeping back up a bit, but i enjoyed filling up for a buck ninety nine a gallon today.
Ever heard of the adage, "if you live by the sword you must die by it"? that can be extrapolated over to "if you live by a stat and you claim you responsible for it going down, you must also claim responsibility for it going up". Remember that the next time it climbs, and it always does climb.
In the meantime, some fact checking

My car only takes 93 octane, so that's not happening for me. I know, self inflicted wound.

So are you saying that we should support Trump ?
