Do you think the recent gas prices are "peanuts"?

Trump has been doing a real bang-up job lately with his economic messaging. . . or lack thereof. . . or disaster that it is. Last week he said to the press that he doesn't think about gas prices for American consumers. He thinks about Iran not getting a nuclear weapon. And today he said that the increased prices are "peanuts" and--you guessed it--he is focused on Iran not getting a nuclear weapon. I'm no political or public relations expert but WHY THE HELL ARE HIS ADVISORS ALLOWING HIM TO KEEP SAYING THIS?!?!??!!??!?! Trump's approval rating on the economy (and Iran for that matter) is in the toilet. This year there are midterm elections and the writing is already on the wall for those. Americans are getting pounded by increased prices on almost everything and Grandpa is out there saying that the daily economics of Americans isn't a concern for him. Yeah well no kidding. He has no idea how average Americans live. He doesn't worry about paying bills. (see: 6 bankruptcies and all of the stiffed contractors) I have always found it both hilarious and pathetic that the stupid MAGA cult members think that Trump is "a man of the people" who worries or cares about them. He only cares about himself. Enjoy those gas and energy and grocery prices everyone!

I remember when the price for gas today, here, was what we only heard about in California and New York.
