Crude prices are back to pre-war levels. Gas prices aren't. Now Trump's pointing fingers at his own biggest donors.
- Donald Trump is reportedly directing the DOJ to investigate major oil companies for alleged price gouging, despite their significant financial support for his election.
- The investigation stems from concerns over high gas prices at the pump, which are not decreasing in line with falling crude oil costs, potentially impacting the Republican party's midterm election prospects.
- This action marks a significant shift from Trump's previous pro-industry stance, highlighting the political pressure associated with consumer affordability and economic stability.
