What happened
California Governor Gavin Newsom said gasoline prices in Wisconsin jumped by 23 cents overnight.
In a remark carried by Sina Finance Express, Newsom credited President Trump for the increase with the sarcastic phrase that Trump had done a "beautiful" job.
Why it matters
The comment shows a state-level Democrat using a sharp overnight price move in another state to attack the president's record on energy costs.
Because the remark is sarcastic, it is best read as political messaging rather than a policy statement; the underlying cause of the Wisconsin price change is not addressed in the source.
