American Senator: The oil giants are emptying the pockets of American families Bernie Sanders, American Senator: Since Trump started his illegal war against Iran, the price of gasoline has increased by 39%; During that period, Exxon's profit increased by 130%, Chevron's profit by 185% and Pegas' profit almost doubled. Hardworking families struggle to make ends meet, while the oil giants empty their pockets. Trump's answer? I don't care at all. This situation is not acceptable at all.
