    If Donald Trump had ANYTHING to do with these gas stations, I wouldn’t even consider filling up there. Sounds like a great way to get water in your fuel tank and your credit card info stolen.

    Edit - oh I see it only has to survive until the midterms, while likely running other gas stations out of town. Brilliant plan.

    You can see why they hated Chavez so much.

    Welp, one nice thing about living in this banana republic: we’ll never be invaded by the US.

    Twenty of the stations are located in Pennsylvania, while five are in New Jersey

    I’m sure that’ll help people in Texas and Colorado.

    Also: ewww, get that shit out of my state!
