Jay Robert ‘JB’ Pritzker (D-IL) criticized President Donald Trump on Thursday, accusing the latter of prioritizing the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial over rising gas prices.\nIn a post on X, Pritzker quoted a post by PopBase that cited Trump saying that oil prices were still below $100/bbl and that it wasn’t a “big price to pay” to deter Iran from having nuclear weapons.\n“When you go to fill your tank for almost $5,” Pritzker said, “remember that Donald Trump is too busy showing off that his pool is bigger than skyscrapers,” the Illinois Governor said.\nRecently, Trump shared that the renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool were completed after workers cleaned it and repainted it to the “American flag blue” shade. He also showcased how the pool was taller than skyscrapers.\nTrump’s pool was criticized by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass), who slammed the President for prioritizing the pool over higher gasoline, grocery and health care costs.\nGas prices further fell as the national average price for a gallon on Thursday was $4.241, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). Prices in California also fell below the $6/gallon mark following weeks of high costs, with the average price in the state at $5.976/gallon.\nAverage prices in states like Nevada, Alaska, Hawaii, Washington and Oregon also remained above the $5/gallon mark on Thursday.\nCheck out more of Benzinga's Future Of Mobility coverage by following this link.\nPhoto courtesy: Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.43.1","shortVersion":"4.43.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2641132141","isCrawlerRequest":true}
