'GOLD!' Trump statement explains why it isn't fair to compare President Biden to Jimmy Carter

The rising gas prices combined with a fuel shortage in many states has created long lines at others. Throw in the inflation rate and people are remembering the Jimmy Carter presidency and making some comparisons:

Joe Biden is the new Jimmy Carter:

-Stagflation
-Higher taxes
-And rising gas prices

2021 meet 1979.

Obama’s third term? No. Carter’s second. Biden is a disaster.
