The statement is a paraphrase/characterization by JB Pritzker rather than a direct quote from Donald Trump, making it difficult to verify as a strictly factual claim about Trump's exact words or thoughts. Without access to the specific Benzinga article or Trump's original statement being referenced, we cannot definitively confirm whether Trump actually said or believes gas prices are 'not very high,' so the statement's accuracy as a factual representation is uncertain.

The statement attributes a quote to JB Pritzker dated April 17, 2026, which is in the future relative to the current date; no record exists of such a statement having been made.
