Louisiana MAGA governor declares official state of emergency over skyrocketing fuel prices under Trump

Louisiana governor Jeff Landry’s opinion of Donald Trump is well-documented. He has described him as “one of the greatest Presidents in our country’s history,” said he thinks “divine intervention” saved Trump from an assassin’s bullet, and believes “only Donald Trump” can resurrect the American Dream.

All of which makes it a little awkward that Landry has now placed Louisiana under an official state of emergency in response to record-high diesel prices caused by Donald Trump’s war with Iran. As reported by WBRZ2, Landry’s executive order JML 26-090 details that “the average retail price of diesel fuel in Louisiana is at an all-time high of $6.03 per gallon.”
