Since 2/28/26, Trump's war in Iran has cost American households $106B, $811 per household, in gas (up 45%) and diesel (up 70%) prices.

That doesn't include the cost of military operations or lost assets, future retribution (inc terrorism) against US, or, most importantly, lives lost or shattered.

Tracks the extra cost paid by U.S. consumers for gasoline and diesel since the Iran conflict began on February 28, 2026, compared against a no-war counterfactual baseline.

It’s time to lower the damn diesel.

Diesel just hit the highest price ever recorded in America — more than $6 a gallon –– up from $3.71 last year

Farmers, truckers, shrimpers, small businesses, and families need relief now — not more excuses from Washington. Suspend the diesel tax.

Long-term interest rates, which reflect both current inflationnand inflarion expectations, jumped with tariffs and then again with the Iran war. This is not a debate among economists: inflation is up and it's Trump's fault.

Michael Derby @michaelsderby.bsky.social · 1d

Trump denies surging inflation is his fault even though economists widely agree his tariffs and war making are the key reasons why price pressures rose again since he returned to office.

I hope everyone realizes that price increases throughout America were caused by Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, not by “TRUMP.” Even Oil was higher under Biden than it is right now, and we prevented Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon! With the temporary exception of Oil, prices are coming down sharply, and Oil will drop like a rock as soon as the Military Conflict with Iran is over, and that will not be long. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

What a surprise. I would have thought it was Hillary's fault. Kidding aside, inflation was coming down under Biden and has been trending upward since Trump took office. Worse, long term interest rates have gone up under Trump.
