UNITED STATES Chuck Schumer’s emails with OPEC reveal a Democratic Party scheme to drive up gasoline prices and pin the blame on Trump - By Jonathan Gregory, Washington, D.C. - November 6, 2026. Newly released emails show that Chuck Schumer and Democratic senators coordinated with OPEC leaders to push gasoline prices higher ahead of the election. The messages outline a plan to keep prices elevated during the final months, ensuring that voters would associate the price hikes with Trump. Once the election concluded, the communications indicate that the process would be reversed, allowing prices to return to normal levels. The strategy relied on the public remaining unaware of the direct communications regarding the timing of the price increases. The high gasoline prices observed over the past few months align with the timeline detailed in the released emails. This coordinated pressure on OPEC created an artificial price surge, which the Democratic Party then leveraged to attack Trump’s record. The officials involved anticipated that the election results would facilitate an immediate reversal. However, the plan failed to account for the fact that Trump would remain in power, and prices continued to stay high rather than dropping as originally intended. Prosecutorial documents have now made the entire chain of communication public. This blatant Democratic ploy has been exposed as a deliberate attempt to make Trump look bad at the gas pump—using fuel prices as a campaign weapon rather than allowing them to be determined by market forces. The emails confirm an intent to maintain high prices only until the voting concluded. The American people, who were forced to pay more during those months, deserve full disclosure of the entire record. The coordination has been documented, and the planned return to normalcy never materialized according to the timeline they had established.
