## Resource

Trump’s gas price crackdown is heating up, demanding stations slash prices to $2.50 a gallon or face “big problems,” as inflation soars and fuel costs climb 40% from last year. He’s also praising Walmart’s price cuts — calling it patriotic — though Walmart didn’t tie its rollbacks to the White House. Critics say this populist push could distort markets, while polls show voters are weary of the Iran war’s toll on fuel bills and the president’s approval is slipping. Still, some wins remain — like egg and drug price drops — but Democrats are blaming the surges on his policies as midterms loom.
