Maybe he understood it once, but he's clearly unwell now. Delusional and demented.
He once suggested nuking a hurricane. Is there any doubt he's suggested nuking Tehran behind closed doors?
US gas hits $4 as Trump tells nations to get their own oil

All evidence shows Trump is quite stupid. His only talent is that he is a con man who reads his audience well and says what they want to hear. He has zero problems lying and insulting. Sadly, the right wants to be told lies. Tell us anything that suits our hate and lack of knowledge and we will buy it 100 percent.
If a Dem said things like Trump has, they would be screaming for 25th Amendment corrections.

Fake news.
It is now at $4.166. That is only because trump is pressuring to keep gasoline prices temporarily lower. It will bounce up sooner or later. Diesel prices are at $5.689, so you have some idea where it will bounce to.

Yes, that is the present-day "national gas price average" according to AAA.
That is because of a number of reasons, one of them being high gas taxes in several leftist bastions, and another one being the current fear mongering over the Strait of Hormuz.
Without Trump's pro-oil energy policies in place, gas prices would probably be as high as they were during 2022, if not higher. It's been proven that the "normal" price for gasoline easily runs anywhere from $1.00 to $1.50 per gallon cheaper when Trump is President.
Gas prices will remain elevated for the short term, but in the long term they will come down. They should be back to normal before the Midterms happen.
Diesel prices are not gasoline prices. The "national average" is not the price in most states (most states are LOWER).
They probably will be higher than they were in 2022. Remember, it is still rising. The events that caused that rise are not over yet. My prediction is the "pro-oil" policy of trump will give us the highest gasoline prices ever. What is your prediction?
trump did make mistakes that drove the oil prices negative during the pandemic. That sort of market failure is not "normal", but it does push the normal price up as investment gets difficult to find. Investors are still reeling from trump's failure.
It is going to take months to restart all the systems that have been shutdown, and years to rebuild the infrastructure that has been destroyed. And then decades to get the investment back.
But we are forgetting, most of that has not started yet. Before anything in started, the war needs to be open, with the Strait of Hormuz open. That has not happened yet, and may not happen for a long time to come.
The Suez Canal was closed for 8 years. Ships that entered the canal 8 years before, barely left with long rotted cargos 8 years later. It is very possible the ships trapped in the Persian Gulf might be stuck there for years.
You're trying to reason with a schizo, Walt. Gas prices won't be going down anytime soon. You know it, I know it, even some of the MAGA morons know it even though they won't admit it. Sybil doesn't know it because he's mentally ill and locked in a room all day playing with his socks.

MORON?
aren't you giving him about 30 or 40 IQ points too many?
He is more like an IDIOT.
I am questioning the point of bringing up reality to certain posters. It is starting to seem pointless.
It is pointless. Have you ever seen a MAGAt change their mind? Admit error? Do anything except devolve into name-calling when they don't have facts to back up their opinions.

I highly doubt it. In my area of Wisconsin, I just filled up my gas tank at the local Woodmans this morning at $3.499/gallon. Gas was damn near $5/gallon here in June 2022.
Eh.
Okay.
Your "prediction" is verifiably wrong. The pro-oil policy of Trump has already led to gas prices that, for YEARS, have consistently been (conservatively speaking) $1.00-$1.50/gallon LESS than they were under other recent Presidents. This is purposely excluding special circumstances (e.g. COVID).
Gas prices will remain elevated in the short term, but they will fall in the long term. More specifically, they will remain elevated during the Spring but will decline again come Summer/Fall (by the time the Midterms happen).
There were no "negative oil prices" and there was no "pandemic".
The Strait of Hormuz is already open (it has never actually been closed). It is only "closed" in people's imaginations.
Irrelevant.
No ships are "trapped". They could all sail through any time they wish to do so.

And it is now over $5 a gallon in a lot of places.
Gas averages $3.75 here and I doubt it will be dropping anytime soon. More likely it will rise a bit due to Trump's forever war.

It is about $4.35 here ,

Wisconsin is not "a lot of places". $3.499/gallon is not over $5/gallon.
The West Coast is likewise not "a lot of places". Most state averages are currently BELOW $4/gallon, let alone over $5/gallon.
The only good news is that most Americans know the blame resides behind the desk in the Oval Office.

No, it will be verifiably wrong, or right, but it is not either yet. Where the high price lands is not known for certain yet. That is why it is called a prediction.
GFM makes predictions, and then claims the very fact he made a prediction proves it is correct. Inflation just jumped to 3.3% which puts a hole in his prediction that inflation would go away.
That is GFM's prediction. It might be right, or it might not. If he is as certain as he claims, he could make quite a bit of money on oil or gasoline derivitives.
But predicting it does not make it true.
The question becomes if GFM cannot deal with the recent past, how reliable are his predictions about the future.
If it were never closed, why was trump threatening to destroy a civilization over it being closed?
That would be false. In half the states(25) the average is below $4, and in half the states it is above $4. Again, GFM is unable to understand the past or present, which brings into question his claims about the future.

You didn't look at your link, did you? It shows that most states have an average below $4/gallon.
It still says an even split 25/25. Of course, many of the states that are barely below $4 have few people, so most people are above $4.
Worse yet, the lowest diesel state average is $4.788.
Maybe this link will make it easier for you:
