Which ones, the Trump or the Biden stickers? The Biden ones have been around since he was in office.  
For the love of god, don’t put Trump “I did that” on gas pumps. Other stuff sure, but not gas pumps. I always thought the right putting Biden “I did that” stickers on gas pumps was stupidly short sighted. Gas prices will pretty much always come back down at some point and those “I did that” stickers will still be there, still pointing at a relatively normal/affordable price.

I said right in the post you quoted ‘Trump-“I did that” stickers’. I want to know if the Trump version was becoming as common as the Biden ones were.

As somebody who many years ago had to clean gas pumps, please don’t put any stickers anywhere. Somebody is going to be annoyed cleaning up your graffiti even if they agree with the message.
