Donny promised the nation that he would save us peons money by lowering energy costs….and how has that worked our after a new year of promises?
Well I am still waiting for that $2 a gallon at the pump price…..but to be fair my state has one of the lowest price for gas…..but it still is not $2…
Home energy use was suppose to get cheaper but I was informed that my power bill will be $4.44 more expensive ever month….that does not sound like the cutting of my energy bill in half that I was promised….
President Donald Trump made a bold promise that he’d slash energy prices in half within 12 months of taking office during his campaign in August 2024.
“You will never have had energy so low as you will under a certain gentleman known as Donald J. Trump,” he said at a North Carolina rally.
Nearly a year into his second term, here’s what’s happening with energy costs under Trump’s administration.
Trump recently claimed at the U.N. General Assembly in September that “energy costs are down,” but data shows costs have been rising. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), retail electricity prices have gone up since 2022 and will likely continue rising through 2026. On the other hand, as of the end of August 2025, residential electricity prices jumped 6.2% compared to the last 12 months, per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Federal Reserve data shows the average household energy cost hit $280.91 in August 2025, up from $261.57 the year before. Some regions are experiencing even sharper increases. Based on EIA data, Maine, New Jersey and the District of Columbia saw residential electricity prices spike as of August 2025. Only two states have seen a slight decline in power prices: Nevada and Rhode Island.
Multiple factors are driving electricity costs up, with the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) being a major factor. A late 2024 report from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that data center energy usage has tripled for the past decade and could double or triple by 2028.
More promises that are just more lies….why do you people keep supporting this d/bag?
The only thing Donny is accomplishing is making your wallet lighter.

If he is awake and talking, he’s lying. He has probably never spoken a single word of truth in his entire life.
Best wishes, Pete.
And yet people voted for this slug….Americans are not the brightest bulbs in the package are we? chuq
Well … not ALL of us voted for the slug. 😄
I know and to those people I say BRAVO! chuq
I think we all know by now that Trump just says what he thinks will sound good to his supporters. He rarely (if ever) checks the fact and figures behind his statements. And of course the majority of his supporters swallow it whole. And THAT is why we are where we are.
Nan….my favorite line….’can’t fix stupid’…..chuq
