Trump laments 7-year-high gas prices as Americans prep for Memorial Day

Former President Donald Trump expressed concern Thursday for Americans forced to pay sky-high gas prices as millions hit the road for the Memorial Day holiday.

“With Memorial Day Weekend coming up, tomorrow people start driving in the biggest automobile days of the year,” Trump said in an emailed statement.

“I’m sorry to say the gasoline prices that you will be confronted with are far higher than they were just a short number of months ago where we had gasoline under $2 a gallon.”

According to AAA, travelers will face the highest prices at the pump this weekend since 2014, when the agency’s national average gas price sat at $3.65 cents per gallon. As of Thursday, the national average was $3.04 per gallon.
