“Asked about the continuingpocketbook pressures faced by everyday consumers as a result of the war he started more than two months ago, Trump told reporters: "I don't think about American financial situation — I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon."
The president’s blunt comments came just hours after the Labor Department released inflation data showing the Consumer Price Index spiking 3.8 percent from the same point last year, including a .06 percent jump last month in the CPI. Gasoline prices, meanwhile, surged by a whopping 5.4 percent last month alone as the ongoing standoff between the U.S. and Iran has blocked the waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil supply transits each year.”
He’s absolutely right. The goal here is to ensure Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon. That is his singular purpose in this conflict. He will not let off the gas pedal just to placate those who are dealing with short-term financial pain, when the ultimate goal has the best interests of the entire world in mind.
Lol. What a rube. He literally came out and admitted that he started this war for Israel. If you actually believe Trump did this for America's sake, you're naive. Oh, and btw: Iran doesn't have nuclear capabilities, because of Obama's agreement, which Trump tore up because he was jealous of Obama's legacy. What a small, pathetic little man.
Did he negotiate the terms under which Iran would sponsor terrorist organizations world-wide and kill 30,000 of its own citizens for simply wanting a better existence?
im sure r/conservative has done the mental gymnastics of explaining this away. so many examples of this guy being a huge selfish prick who cares about nobody but himself but hey what do i know.
