Desperate Donald Trump has humiliated his own energy secretary in a row over gas prices.

Chris Wright, 61, told CNN on Sunday that he did not think they would drop below $3 a gallon until at least 2027.

In a phone interview with The Hill, the president, 79, disputed that assessment. “No, I think he’s wrong on that.

Totally wrong.”
