Since travel is such a major indicator of the economy for liberals. Gas prices at an all time low since 2021. So how are liberals going to spin this one?

Record 72.2 Million Americans Expected to Travel Domestically July 4th Week

WASHINGTON, DC (June 20, 2025) - AAA projects 72.2 million people will travel at least 50 miles or more from home over the Independence Day holiday period

July 4 is taking on a special significance because the country as a whole is becoming more patriotic.
 
With a population of 1.9 million more people compared to a year ago, 1.3 million more people are projected to travel over the July 4th holiday compared to a year ago.

 

1. July 4th, Independence Day​

The most traffic fatalities happen on our nation’s birthday, the 4th of July. It is no surprise as this day has become quite popular for parties and drinking, and unfortunately drunk driving.

This data covers years from 2007 through 2016. As a bonus, here are the days with the least roadside fatalities, with the least happening on January 2nd.

Will Trump tell us all about the airports during the revolutionary war again? 🤣

No spin, just facts. I think the bigger concern is the downturn of visitors from other countries TO the US.

American pride plummets to new low​

Ahead of the Fourth of July, a record-low share of U.S. adults — 58% — say they are "extremely" or "very" proud to be an American, according to recent Gallup polling.

  • That's down 9 percentage points from last year and 5 points below the previous low from 2020.

Axios


No. Wait. That proves the opposite.

Where are you getting that figure? Joe Biden had the average price of gas per gallon down to $3.00 in December of 2024 coming off of post-pandemic inflation. There's no reason that trend shouldn't have continued. Yet under Trump the average gas price is now up to $3.15 per gallon.

Gas prices where I live are consistently about $2.48, occasionally $2.34. Obviously, can vary depending on where you live.

True, but the national average is currently $3.15/gal. That same national average was $3.00/gal 7 months ago.

How is that international tourism looking?

Last I saw, it’s down more than 10% and having an impact of billions in lost revenue.


So much winning 🤷‍♀️😂

False! You are merely echoing Trump propaganda bullshit.

I believe the economy is going to tank badly under this president, but there's no evidence that it has yet. No spin, just facts. I think these things take time.

Just imagine if Biden had said those words, the right would have said he was senile or something.
