Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says high gas prices 'we're in a good place'
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in Philadelphia said, "We're in a good place" with U.S. gasoline prices, calling $4.55 per gallon acceptable and urging Americans to take road trips. During the same event Duffy scolded a yawning child, telling the child "There's no yawning" while continuing his remarks. The comments matter because $4.55 per gallon raises commuting and household energy costs and signal officials prioritizing travel promotion over immediate consumer relief.
With gas at $4.55 a gallon, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says "we're in a good place" for fuel prices, and urges Americans to drive this summer, saying "we encourage all Americans to take a road trip"

MaryM103These people are insane and they operate under the mistaken notion that we are so stupid we will buy into their ludicrous bullshit.
flyflicker.bsky.social59Transportation Secretary Salary: $221,400. Plus: Car and driver. I guess Sean will manage to struggle along ...
SarahBCalif44Our family cancelled our east coast “road trip” and the Airbnb owners places said: Completely understand, this is happening a lot, this summer is going to be brutal for people like us.
The Resistance CO26I encourage this regime to go fuck themselves!
Dizzygirl22I'm sure oil execs would love that. Nah. The patriotic thing to do is protest with your wallet. 🖕
Human☮20And buy a vacation home, maybe a yacht while you are at it. How out of touch are these people?
Candace - Orange's Human20I live 3 miles from work, my husband lost his job 2 1/2 months ago and hasn't been able to find a new one yet, and I can barely afford to drive my Ford Focus to work every day. Oh, and I'm in fucking Oklahoma. Where oil runs down the fucking streets, practically. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
gk1993.bsky.social18This guy is a fucking moron, we need Pete back.
The Infinitely Prolonged12These chucklefucks are giving Dems campaign material every single day, if we have the wits to use it.
That's Montgomery Clift, Honey11These lying motherfuckers have no shame. Also, no understanding of how markets work - lots of people driving long distances increases demand when supply is constrained, guess what will happen to the price?
hloaroo.bsky.social10Is the U.S. Transportation Secretary pranking us?
minutesdrag.bsky.social8What a massive pos. He can fuck all the way off.
Temisan Adoki7I hate everything about this administration. Just filled with the most stupid and disgusting people to ever exist.
Middlerage7Or "take a long walk off a short pier" 🤡
Jay Lionel6Next Sean will recommend fucking for virginity.
Religion *is* politics6Who wouldn’t rather have Pete Buttigieg up there?
Sandy5Sean describes himself as a "devout Catholic" & thus, should know that lying is forbidden & made the top Ten list in the Commandments.
Kimba5We are at 5.00-5.15 in N Michigan I have to plan for grocery trips. Can't even plan for a trip! 🙄
am baglereau5Take a ROAD trip, it RULES… I live in the REAL WORLD
Contempt for the Conmen5Willing gas to be cheaper doesn’t make it cheaper. Neither does ignoring it.
Mandee❌5Well, if he gets everyone to drive, he doesn't have to face the mounting and frightening air travel issues.....
Big Edith5He's working at the gaslight station extra hard.
Steve Gerrard4Gas is not for sale at the average national price. It is at some particular price where you live, where you naturally get your gas. For me gas today is 5.39 a gallon. Nothing Fox News or Sean Duffy can say will change that simple fact.
EvanR4These fucking assholes in the Trump administration live a different world. These billionaires do not live in the reality of the day to day citizen. Thanks you cowardly Republican Senators for confirming the worst cabinet in US history.
Cheryl C 🇨🇦4Sean Duffy is truly dense!
dabxdee.bsky.social4Spoken like the terroristic shill he truly is. These people are pathologically psychopathic cosplayers...on your dime.
Ankle Art4Go out there and blow all your savings this summer on gas!
theothermatthew.bsky.social4“We’re at a good place [but we think we can drive oil company profits even higher].”
Gary Hatch4What parallel universe is he living in?
plasticscouser.bsky.social3This is because the GOP’s fossil fuel backers will get even richer
Just Kevin3Unlike Republicans, Democrats encourage Americans to switch to an EV before taking a road trip.
dmoschberger.bsky.social3How lucky are Europeans! They can literally travel the entire continent by train! Okay, a few short boat rides.
LethalDose503If Democrats don’t run this clip on infinite loop until the midterms it will be malpractice
bebe1960.bsky.social3He doesn't live in the real world
Crazy Fingers3Go back to MTV, assclown.
Eliza Jayne3Telling people not to fly without saying it out loud.
Caroline P2Eff this reality TV person! 😡🖕
Candace2I’m not in a good place! Health care, groceries and gas prices are closing in on me.
Elise2It’s like telling just “duck and cover” in a nuclear attack.
Catherine2One of the clear definitions of STUPID.
resistnow47.bsky.social2These assholes MUST live in a different reality than us !
ferdigeau.bsky.social2Driving?! Hell, I booked two tickets to visit my Dad in July on Southwest (SFO to SNA - a one hour flight). Normally it’s about $400 RT - or less - for my husband and I) It’s now a WHOPPING $875!!! If he wasn’t 93 yo I wouldn’t be going!
RuledByStars2Translation of “we encourage all Americans to take a road trip”: Please, for the love of God, generate some economic activity before the summer driving numbers come out and we have to explain them on cable news.
scrivs.bsky.social2That 'roadtrip' will basically be to the gas station and back. Park car in driveway. Vacation in backyard.
Paul Rodger2Cue the goose meme. “With what money, asshole? With WHAT MONEY???”
El Supremo2With Trump and his “Ship of Fools” administration in the picture, any “trips” they recommend will be “down the garden path” with adverse consequences that are, by now, 100% predictable.
springerdog.bsky.social2They think we are all stupid.
Poppy2I canceled our road trip for June. Don't believe anything is going to be better anytime soon.
dreedman.bsky.social2You going to pay for that gas Jack ass? Or the food?
OKNova2We encourage you, Sean, to resign.
Dan Jago2because $4.55 is the new $3😏
God-Emperor Tsunami 💙 #FBPE #BLM #GTTO2Utterly disconnected from reality. One might even say, unhinged. I certainly would.
Canadian2He must own stock in oil and gas companies
Sharon Rudow2Gaslighting from the President's Cabinet sucks
While gas is $4.56 Sean Duffy tells Americans thatwe’re in a very good place” for fuel prices and encourages Americans to take road trips. Is this fool divorced from reality or gaslighting like his master demands you do?
Magnus G. Singleton2Duffy possibly presumes that most intelligent folks are comatose and aren’t aware of how drastically the cost of everything has gone up since Trump’s taken office. Or he’s just another regime handpicked pathological liar who hates American Democracy and loves gaslighting reality.
Matt2D22Clearly he is in outer space.
