– Gas prices under President Trump were much lower than they were under President Obama, according to social media users who have been sharing photos of gas station signs with images of Obama and Trump next to them. But neither photo is from the time Obama was in office, and neither photo is from the time Trump was in office, the Daily Dot reports. In fact, gas prices have fluctuated but remained lower under Trump than they were under Obama, Reuters reports. A gas station sign showing prices of $5.27 per gallon for regular is next to a photo of Obama. A photo of a gas station sign showing prices of $1.89 per gallon for regular is next to a photo of Trump. The same photo is featured in a 2008 blog post and on Facebook.
