Is he this stupid or does he think we are?

My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.

Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.

Suppressing the price at the pump will only suppress the supply. Do we really need to try this again?
