Trump Calls His Own Energy Secretary a Liar on Gas Prices: 'He's Wrong'

I've said it before, but I truly can't imagine how frustrating it must be on a daily basis to be anywhere within the sphere of Donald Trump's inner circle, knowing that no matter what you do, the President of the United States is going to go out of his way to contradict you and call you a liar at some point. Even when you're simply toeing the company line, repeating exactly what Trump himself said on a topic most recently, that won't shield you from his random flip-flops and reprisals. Hell, if you're JD Vance you can't even put out a book about your opportunistic conversion to Catholicism without Donald Trump picking that same week to launch a crusade against the freaking Pope, putting you in an immediately awkward bind. So yeah, when Energy Secretary Chris Wright dared to open his mouth to say anything about gas prices, he probably should have expected to be instantly thrown under the bus by Trump, despite the fact that he was merely repeating Trump's own prior statements.
