President Donald Trump is suddenly throwing out new numbers after he was brutally fact-checked on gas prices by an Iowan during his trip to the Hawkeye State. Average gas prices across the country are well over $2. AAAThe average gallon of gas in Iowa cost $2.50 as of Thursday, according to AAA. These facts have not stopped Trump from repeatedly touting gas prices under $2, even though the number of stations actually offering such a deal is few and far between. Trump has also claimed that average gas prices were much higher than reality in the final year of former President Joe Biden’s presidency—something he said again during his Cabinet meeting.
