The look on the face of this Fox News anchor as Donald Trump was wanging on about gas prices surely speaks for us all

Usually, Donald Trump can head to Fox News for softball questions that lead to his trademark talking points.

But only if Donald stays on script.

This time, he flubbed his answer so badly, he accidentally revealed just how badly things are trending for Magas heading into the next election cycle.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo looked to set up Trump for a nice, reassuring message for his voters when she asked him about the future of gas prices in America.

Clearly he wasn’t reading his script.

Bartiromo: Do you believe the price of oil and gas will be lower before the midterm elections?

Trump: I hope so. I mean, I think so, it could be. It could be the same or maybe a little bit higher. pic.twitter.com/dtyMN2Qm2x

Thanks to Trump’s ridiculous answer, a meme was born.

The shock on Bartiromo’s face unwittingly spoke for a nation of angry voters, who voiced their opinions in the replies.

1.

Trump is making Americans spend even more at the gas pump while he tries to fix his own catastrophic mistakes.

Iran wasn’t pursuing nukes. The strait of Hormuz was open. Trump undid them both.

Trump couldn’t care less about the price of oil and gas, that’s something only the poors have to worry about.

Between UFC during nuclear negotiations and a IDGAF attitude in prices, shaping up to be a good midterms for Democrats. https://t.co/DZY0DIK0aE

There’s no plan to lower your costs. No plan to end this war.

We need hearings, immediately, to get real answers from this administration. https://t.co/EhYWwoAqYb

At the 12 second mark, when Trump says gas prices might be a little higher by the midterms, you can literally see Bartiromo’s eyebrows go up like “you stupid fuck, I lobbed you a softball and you still gave the wrong answer.” https://t.co/6waf5j4HX2

What kind of answer is that? An answer from someone with advanced dementia who has no idea what the fuck is happening.

So his prediction is the price of oil will be lower, higher, or the same in 6 months. Masterful.
