"Fishermen here in Cortez, Florida are pissed off. Pissed off with the president, who many of them voted for, and they're angry because of skyrocketing diesel prices."
"I'm really scratching my head because I voted Republican, and most of us in the fishing industry did, and we're not seeing the positives come out of it, why we voted that way."
"Now, before the war in Iran, gas coming from this pump in Cortez was going for $3.29 per gallon. Now, gas from this is closer to $5 a gallon."
"When the tariffs initially went into effect, there was a huge jump in all of our tackle and supplies. And even though the tariff percentages were rolled back a little bit, our suppliers never rolled back their prices."
Fishermen in Florida, many of whom voted for Trump, are frustrated with rising gas prices and the ongoing war in Iran. They feel disillusioned as diesel prices have surged from $3.29 to nearly $5 per gallon, making their business unsustainable. The fishing industry workers are also affected by Trump's tariff policies, which have led to increased costs for supplies. They demand a return to common sense and express disappointment over the lack of positive outcomes from their political choices.
