President Trump’s tweets in any given day may range from needlessly inflammatory to downright disgraceful. So when he takes to Twitter to post something as asinine as the veiled insinuation that he’s responsible for lower gas prices — “like another Tax Cut!” as he celebrated on New Year’s Day — a reasonable person ought to breathe a sigh of relief that he didn’t just fire Steven Mnuchin or announce war with North Korea.

But if you’re a business reporter from CNN, you write an article about why lower gas prices are actually bad for the economy.
