Donald Trump said on Thursday he was not concerned about rising U.S. gas prices driven by the widening Iran conflict, telling Reuters in an exclusive interview that the U.S. military operation was his priority.
“I don’t have any concern about it,” he said, when asked about the higher prices at the pump. “They’ll drop very rapidly when this is over, and if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit.”
The comments mark a shift in tone for the president, who touted a drop in gas prices in his State of the Union address last month and at a Texas rally focused on energy that took place just hours before the U.S. launched its air strikes on Saturday.
The only reason trump doesnt care about what happens to you, is because he believes you won’t do anything about it.
So far, he’s right.
Says the man baby (shitty diaper) who has probably never been behind the wheel of a car before
This is just more proof that he’s going to do something to prevent the 2026 midterms from happening.
Reports are indicating this will last until at least Sept. so yeah. He’s gonna suspend voting.
If he does there better fucking be some pitchforks.
He thinks having a war and civil unrest, in the U, Iranian counter attacks would be even better, will let him cancel elections
And suddenly all the people who voted for Trump “for the economy” are suddenly fine with it.
Not really how this is going… People are pissed
Prove it!
From the outside the US appears fine with it
i.e. I don’t give a shit about you pleebs living paycheck to paycheck.
But most of us already knew that.
This guy never cares about anybody.
The only time a narcissist thinks about other people is when they masturbate.
That’s not true!
… he never cares about anybody who shouldn’t already be in jail for life.
but this is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit.”
Why is it more important?
It is a curious thing to see how much punishment and humiliation Americans will take from this asshole. The third Reich really is an apt comparison.
I mean I’m loathe to talk up old Adolf here, but he did things that benefited his people (at first) and he was quite loyal and dependable to his band of thugs (up to the night of the long knives, that is).
Trump only pleases his class and foreign autocrats whilst replacing his trusted followers on a whim every now and then. It’s simply baffling that no one has thrown him under the bus.
Yeah, Hitler understood that you needed the bread as well as the circuses.
That said, the degree to which he improved material conditions in Germany is overplayed in popular media. While the Nazis did push programs like the VW Beetle and cheap holiday packages, their relentless push to rearmament came at a serious cost to Germany’s ability to produce or import consumer goods, and the average German frequently struggled with empty shelves in the supermarkets.
While the Nazis did push programs like the VW Beetle
Another point of order about that in particular, zero regular citizens who paid into the Beetle scheme with their little KdF-Wagen Sparkarte stamps actually received one. All of the Beetles produced went to Nazi party leaders, and then Germany went to war. Hitler may have successfully sold people on the dream of an affordable personal car but he literally used it as a mechanism to embezzle money from his own citizens which he stole and used for war production.
5 Mark die Woche musst du sparen wills Du im eignen wagen fahren, my webbed foot.
History really is set to the tune of Benny Hill in a minor key…
Excellent addition, thank you.
Yeah true, it’s not like he was a magnificent ruler, but he didn’t openly and brazenly shit on his constituents, service members and veterans.
It’s just bizarre that Trump managrs to be worse than Hitler on many levels and only has had one attempt on his life.
“Listen, I only say I care about shit to get you to vote for me. I couldn’t possibly care less what you have to pay. I’m the only thing that matters.”
I think it is a big shift honestly. Before he would pretend to give a shit, etc.
Between this and “yeah, some people will die” he’s not even making an effort anymore.
To me that is saying something. Precisely what I’m not sure but it’s a marked change.
That’s because he rides for free. smh
Couldn’t be more retrded
Well this will certainly piss off the layperson. This war shit will last until the midterms and that’s it. This also sucks ass because liberals will win easily. Libs gotta go.
I feel like folks here don’t know what a US liberal is. Liberals are big money lefties usually in support of Israel and certainly paid by billionaire PACs. Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Kamala Harris, etc. These are status quo opportunists waiting to waste your tax dollars too…
