Many Americans could not stand former President Donald Trump for a variety of reasons, but everyone can agree that the gas prices during his term were far better than the prices we deal with today.
However, Shannon Sharpe thinks that it would be worse to have Trump back in office than to have gas prices nearly five times worse than the current national average.
One of Sharpe's Twitter followers asked the NFL Hall of Famer and co-host of the sports talk show Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED if he still disliked Trump, to which he gave an unmistakably strong response.
I’d rather pay 20 bucks a gallon than have Trump in office. Hope that answers your question https://t.co/zdL1hgZ17P

Talk about being short-sighted and stuck in your pride.
While anyone can agree that Trump was a controversial character, to say that you'd rather pay $20 per gallon is completely ridiculous. Of course, Sharpe could probably afford it with his salary, but going to the pump would still be a painful experience.
Outkick founder and CEO Clay Travis gave an equally straightforward response to the absurdity of Sharpe's dull take on if he would rather have Trump back or not.
“This anti-Donald Trump rhetoric breaks the brains of many different people out there. It is illogical, it is absolutely crazy to make an argument in favor of $20 gallons of gas over any American presidential candidate.” - @ClayTravis #ShannonSharpe pic.twitter.com/3jz8HVXuZz

Fortunately for Sharpe, at the rate that gas prices are increasing today, he might actually get the best of both worlds (at least in his mind).
