Get ready to hear this a few thousand times over the next six months:
I guess Captain Ahab has spotted his white whale.

Trump doubled-down when given a chance to "clean up" his comments:
quote:

A reporter followed up on whether he really wasn’t thinking about the economic impact of the war.

“The most important thing by far — including whether our stock market, which, by the way, is at an all-time high — but including whether our stock market goes up or down a little bit, the most important thing by far is Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” he said, adding, “Every American understands.”

Doubled down on "the only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran is they can't have a nuclear weapon".

You may not agree, but he made it pretty clear and it's not "I don't think about Americans' financial situation".

Is the Dem counterargument that for the right price, Iran can have a nuclear weapon? I think they should go with that.

This dude always talking about the stock market, while most Americans cant afford gas and groceries. So out of touch. We dont understand Trump. We want what you promised us. Affordability.

What does Trump have to do with individual congressional races? Are they not competent enough to convince their constituents?

Do you want a few extra bucks? Or not be blown up?

Simple question…..
If Iran does get a nuclear weapon. Fires it on Israel or Europe and chaos breaks out….what do you think happens to the “cost of stuff”
Would it really matter at that point?

Trump has made it very clear. This isn’t about the right now. This is about the future and preventing something
Something every other President hasn’t had the balls to do

Would you rather him just kick the can down the road like all the others and hope the lunatics play nice?

If someone was dumb enough to think Trump would broadcast to Iran that pressure domesticlly for high gas prices would make him soften the negotiations? Then they already dumb enough that they are voting Democrat anyway.

A "whelp" is an offspring of an animal.

"Welp" is a stupid substitute for "well".

Unless of course he has some
Inside information that this is about to be wrapped up and long forgotten by midterms.

Go ahead and doubt Trump. His track record is pretty good.

It's partially not his fault, and it's why I'd never vote for someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Somebody like him is incapable of having perspective and really understanding what it's like to be one paycheck aways or one vehicle breakdown away from being in really bad shape.

I'm way better now, but I remember one time when I was in my 20s waiting for my old beater to break down at any red light and thinking about how I only had 200 dollars in the bank. It wears on you mentally, and it's no fun.

Unlike you, I've never been on welfare.

Or in prison.
