Trump Calls High Gas Prices ‘Peanuts’ as Economic Approval Rating Plunges

[Mac1958]

What's ironic is MAGA nation has been trained, like seals, to shriek whenever EV's are brought into the conversation, yet are perfectly content to not have affordable EV options and pay over $5.00 a gallon for gas.

Well, we can't have EVs, because they're based on science and science is evil and commie.

I wonder how many of these Trumpsters are having a rough go of it, and don't have the balls or self esteem to admit it. They have to stick to the cult script, because they've sold their soul to this goddamn fool. So they're reduced to cheering on his blatant money-grabbing grifts while they're barely making it.

The Dumbing Down of America takes many forms. This is only one of them.

The Dumbing Down of America is what got us here. We're in Dunning-Kruger America right now, an adminstration enabled by useful idiots who think they're smart, educated, informed and special, while they're largely just the opposite.

If this lasts for another couple months and then normalizes...who cares ? Gas is a dollar more than it was last year It isnt putting anyone into bankruptcy.
Iran is a terrorist country that killed 30000 of its own people for peacefully protesting and killed thousands of Americans thru other terrorist organizations for decades now. Every president for decades now have declared them the biggest threat to America and Trump is really the only one with enough balls to DO what others have only talked about. Let it play out.

Short term when the war resolves in less than a month oil and gas drops, inflation drops the DOW takes off, the economy takes off, Trumps approvals increase and democrats look even more like the failures they are. Trump is playing the long game democrats are stuck in the moment.
Inflation isnt 9% like it was under Biden

Trump opined Tuesday that rising gas prices are merely peanuts. He affirmed he does not even think about it.



Trump Calls High Gas Prices ‘Peanuts’ as Economic Approval Rating Plunges

Average gas spikes to $4.53: Trump dismisses toll as approval plunges

Trump calls gas prices “peanuts” as U.S. average hits $4.53 and approval sinks to 37% amid rising inflation concerns.

www.newsweek.com

President Donald Trump on Tuesday dismissed rising gas prices as “peanuts,” even as new polling shows his economic approval sinking to new lows.

"This is peanuts. I appreciate everybody putting up with it for a little while. But I don't even think about. What I think about is you can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon," Trump told reporters at the White House.

The remarks underscore growing political pressure as inflation and an average U.S. fuel cost of $4.53 per gallon weigh on voters, with surveys showing widespread dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of the economy. The disconnect could shape the 2026 midterm elections, with voters increasingly blaming the White House for rising costs at the pump, largely due to the Iran War.

High fuel prices is a good thing for climate alarmists because folk will be doing reduced journeys.

Surely alarmists will want fuel to go so high it'll want folk to buy an EV.

So the group that wouldn't want to whine about Trump + Iran + Oil Price, are climate alarmists, unless they're as thick as an elephants foreskin.

To be clear, lefties no longer like high gas prices so that people use less fossil fuels?

What specific date did you guys flip on that?

IF THE PRICE OF GAS WAS OUR ONLY PROBLEM would pay it & shut up.
Many many other problems are going on, that should not be ignored, because of political party preference.

Please link to your outrage when the national average was at $5.02 under your demented hero in June of 2022. Hmm, seems your concern is disingenuous.

Many other problems, as a result of Trump's war.

Trump never pumped gas in his life.

I never think about it because an extra $10 a week for gas is like one fewer venti coffee milkshakes from Starbucks per week.
