Trump said the “only thing” that matters is Iran “can’t have a nuclear weapon.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-not-thinking-american-finances-iran-talk-rcna344785President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he is not weighing the economic burden of the Iran war on everyday Americans when negotiating a deal with the country’s leadership.Speaking on the White House South Lawn before departing for a diplomatic trip to China, Trump was asked to what extent “Americans’ financial situations” were motivating him to make a deal with Iran.“Not even a little bit,” Trump replied. “The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran — they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing — we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.”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.”“Every American understands,” he added.Since the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran in late February, Iran has blocked access to the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway through which about 20% of the world’s oil supply typically transits every day.As a result, gas prices in the U.S. have spiked. The national average price of regular unleaded gas stood at $4.50 per gallon on Tuesday, while diesel fuel was $5.64 per gallon, according to a AAA tracker.
Rising fuel costs have rippled across the U.S. economy, with April inflation surging to 3.8%, its highest level in nearly three years, according to data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Increased energy costs, the agency said, are “accounting for over forty percent of the monthly all items increase.”Job growth did outpace expectations last month, according to the agency’s April jobs report released last week, while U.S. stock indexes have hit record highs during the war.But Americans overwhelmingly have expressed discontent with the economy under Trump. A CNN/SSRS survey conducted between April 30 and May 4 found that 70% of Americans disapproved of Trump’s handling of the economy. That’s the highest number the pollster has recorded throughout Trump’s two terms in office. During his first term, that number never broke 50%.Additionally, an NBC News Decision Desk Poll released last month found that two-thirds of respondents disapproved of Trump’s handling of inflation, as well as his handling of the Iran conflict.Trump on Sunday rejected Iran’s latest offer to end the conflict, calling it “unacceptable.” He added on Monday that an ongoing ceasefire was “on life support.”
>>1514580>I think about one thing — we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.Trump admits that literally the only thought in his head is Israeli propaganda that they've spent over two decades trying to sell America. I'm sure MAGAfags are suitably worried about their President openly doing a foreign powers bidding, otherwise they'd look stupid trying to fake some sort of equivalence with a literal 'who' mayor or something
I wish some reporter would ask him why he didn't do anything about Iran's nuclear program in the entire four years of his first term if they've been such an existential threat to America all this time.
>>1514588That would assume the media isn't totally controlled by Republicans who were running damage control and sanewashing everything trump does.
>>1514588>why he didn't do anything about Iran's nuclear program in the entire four years of his first term if they've been such an existential threat to America all this time.Demonstrably false, he ripped up the agreement stopping them from creating a nuke. Thats not 'doing nothing'He did then do nothing to prevent Iran from having a nuclear bomb in 2 weeks throughout his entire 4 years after that though.
>>1514580Wow, so he can tell the truth. >>1514588All the reporters in the White House are now curated to only ask questions that benefit the party. That won't happen unless one of them decides to go "fuck it." People don't understand how damaging this is to democracy. A free and independent press isn't just some nice thing to have, it is absolutely essential.
>>1514598>A free and independent press>Tells us that men are women, faggots are okay and thinking blacks are dangerous is raycissYeah, that's not free or independent. If they were free and independent they'd be free to tell us the truth and we'd have a white ethnostate because nobody else on this planet is safe to be around.
>>1514640the truth is you're literally not american
>>1514640Explain how press choosing to say "gays gettimg married is okay" is neither "free" nor "independent"Protip: you can't
North Korea has had nukes for many years and they hate America just as much if not more! Want to know why they haven't used them? Because they know about MAD! It's an insurance policy for the regime and nothing more! As long as the nuclear taboo remains NOBODY will use them! That's how it's been since 1945!
>>1514580How will liggerals complain?Oh, they did it for you in the article by asking a loaded question.
>>1514647Why do you pretend to be an American?
>>1514647That was completely reasonable question and this is a completely reasonable cause to complain.
>>1514647>liggeralWhat's with this forced meme of yours?
>>1514651It gets him (You)s, I guess. That's all some people care about.
>>1514598>People don't understand how damaging this is to democracyMAGAs don't want democracy, anon. They understand how damaging it is just fine.
>>1514656>as they use democracy to vote Trump into office
>>1514656I know, I mean normal people. >>1514662Yeah, and now they're actively trying to rig our democracy to stay in power. As they've been doing for years, decades, but now more overtly than ever.Using democracy to get into power doesn't mean you want democracy.
>>1514663>Yeah, and now they're actively trying to rig our democracy to stay in power. As they've been doing for years, decades, but now more overtly than ever.So doing what every administration has done in my entire lifetime.
>>1514664I have no idea how old you are, but no, not really.
>>1514663>I know, I mean normal people.Like who? The majority of people (Trump voters)?
>>1514663>normal people>>1514666>666Those who worship an orange Antichrist aren't normal. They'll never be people. Case in point, that statue at the orange Antichrist's golf course. The ones who have no objections, including those who claim to be Christian, can deny all they like, but that's a golden calf. 1st & 2nd Commandments say it is, Oliver Cromwell would agree.
>>1514670>worshipinteresting word from a practitioner of the Democrat religion. I sentence you to chant black lives matter 1000 times as penance for projecting so fucking hard.
>>1514672>>1514666>666Interesting projection from a practitioner of the Republican leader religion.You are hereby sentenced to fail in the midterms & beyond for choosing... poorly.>b-b-but the Republicans will win in November 2026 thus be re-elected in 2028! Y-you'll see!!Nice fanfic.
>>1514666Non-MAGAs, people that don't actively want an authoritarian state, people who don't pay much attention to politics, etc.>The majority of people (Trump voters)?You're either ignorant of how elections work in this country, or you're not and are trying to misinform.
>>1514674I don't hear you chanting!!Better add 100 abortions are reproductive healthcare for the failure.
>>1514676What?
>>1514675>You're either ignorant of how elections work in this country, or you're not and are trying to misinform.Yes THE MOJORITY. Fucking cope, liggeral scummer.Popular vote.
>>1514678>THE MOJORITYPoetry. >You're either ignorant of how elections work in this country, or you're not and are trying to misinform.
>MOJORITYThe majority of which are actual Americans. You've just demonstrated that you aren't. Thus you can't vote in America.Failing lolcow >>1514678
>>1514679>>1514680I'm going to need 1000 ACABs and at least 500 No lives matter until trans lives matters to make up for the copes.
>>1514681What?
>>1514683Say your prayers
>>1514685Hail DNC, full of scum, the gays are with you.Propagandized are you among voters,and aborted is the fruit of your male womb.DNC, party of torment, pay us sinners,now until the hour of our death.
>>1514580we should just let all the leftists get nuked then they'll see the error of their ways
>>1514598they're independant though and tax funded its fine this is democracy at its finestespecially after the last decade of complaining about trump ice cream and now him putting cereal before milk bleh
the rest of America should just let all the rightists get nuked then they'll see the error of their ways
Hail GOP, full of scum, the pedos are with you.Propagandize do you among votersand not aborted is the fruit of raped underaged wombs.GOP, party of hypocrisy, never care about it's own voters,now until the hour of your midterms death
>>1514698It was funny when the other guy done it. This is just sad.
>and >>1514699 is sadThis is funny.
Again Trump states what is the sole thing the Federal government cares about. Those at the very top since JFK solely have interests in one thing. ISRAELDo not ever vote for anybody who took AIPAC money
>>1514598>A free and independent press isn't just some nice thing to have, it is absolutely essentialYea but they really hurt our president's feelings when they always ask him such mean questions, and he's such a special boy that he just doesnt deserve that disrespect; he deserves for everyone to agree with him without question.
>>1514735We need a free press like the old free press, which didn't look into things or ask questions, and actively provided damage support https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nZGx511XZCU
>>1514784Lmao dont make your trolling so obvious. The media treated Biden wth infinitely more scrutiny than they are giving Trump. Its why Trump can keep sleeping through meetings and being rushed to the hospital with no coverage, meanwhile whenever Biden spoke too softly they were calling for his resignation.Also not a single lie was told during that segment lol.
>>1514683He'll just say he has the Mojority on his side.
>>1514795So give me an example of a time the media forced Joe Biden or his attorney general Merrick Garland to answer difficult questions about the release of the Epstein files, or his ability to prosecute pedos in the files. I can provide examples of Pam Bondi or Donald Trump being asked those questions if you are interested
>>1514802You should ask why the republican controlled mainstream media is running a full cover up for Epstein and trump then.
>>1514802god you're esl, and probably also a pedophile
>>1514803I was hoping for some examples.Maybe another day. Every day I am here I will invoke the names Joe Biden and Merrick Garland
>>1514806and bringing up biden will never erase the pictures of trump hanging out with his bff epstein. but you do you esl shill
>>1514807This is just like Trump Russia all over again. It's bullshit.To prove me wrong, I would request any direct communication between Jeffrey Epstein, and Donald J Trump or his associates. Not emailing other people he is Trumps best friend or he is meeting with the Trump sons, an email between Epstein and the Trump sons, a text message or phone call between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, or an email with other parts of the Trump family like to his wife, daughter, or Jared Kushner
>>1514808no, all the pictures and articles about trump and his epstein relationship are real. funny how pictures of biden and epstein don't exist, isn't it esl shill. when you grew up did you think you'd end up being some faggot on the internet defending pedophilia?
>>1514809There is plenty of evidence of Biden's sexual impropriety with childrenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydYxocpZ0kMThere's contemporary evidence of his sexual assaulthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aivzaeV8qxYDid you think you would be defending Joe Biden's pedophilia online?
>>1514810esl shill, you'll never succeed in swaying anyone this way. you should probably just get a real job where you don't have to run damage control for a child raping pants-shitting bottom tier president
>as the likes of >>1514810 would say, 'tranny lovers are pedos'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guve7Y856kYQED.Then there's thishttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2016/oct/13/trump-makes-inappropriate-remarks-about-10-year-old-girl-videoDid you think you would be defending Donald Trump's pedophilia online?>b-b-but there's nothing wrong with Trump being a pedo! Only those I say who commits 'sexual impropriety with children' are pedos and who aren't! There's nothing wrong with me projecting! Y-y-you're the pedo for saying I'm wrong and calling out my hypocrisy!!Accusations are Admissions.No, projecting shill, you are the pedos.And then >>1514810 was a hypocritical orange didller-defending zombie.
>>1514811>you should probably just get a real job where you don't have to run damage control for a child raping pants-shitting bottom tier presidentBut enough about you and the Joe Biden presidency
>>1514815>hypocrisyBut enough about you and the Donald Trump presidency
>>1514815i do appreciate the flattery, but you're no closer to having a real job by brainlessly imitating the insults hurled your way
>>1514806Well the example is the republican controlled mainstream media not talking about the epstein files and trump's illegal cover up of them.Why are you a part of that?
>>1514855'Cause there's nothing there about Trump.You'd have heard it by now if there were.Lets not forget Democrats have access to the files.So, it's onto the next complaint to sway public opinion to win the midterms for media billionaires. Didn't you get the memo?
>>1514808>This is just like Trump Russia all over again. It's bullshit.It wasn't. Stop lying.
>>1514868Why can't Demofags win without making up scams?Do you have nothing to offer?Not Trump isn't a platform. Not Trump happened in 2020. Not Trump didn't work.Do you think voters want not Trump again?Do you think voters don't see through your bullshit?
>>1514872>A brown woman outlined a platform for sensible government that involved several programs to help elevate the middle class in the same national debate she humiliated the mental midget I voted for for raving about immigrants eating people's pets.>Democrats have a platform, I'm just way too fucking stupid to understand it, and if I had to engage with them on any issue that isn't the dumbest version of a strawman I'd lose. That's literally the reason I just said they have no platform. I'm about to pivot to transphobia, because I somehow think this policy is embarrassing for dems, despite literally every organization of physicians stating gender-affirming care has value and saves lives. Hopefully if I screech about them enough on social media, my closest friends and family won't be so suspicious I'm a closeted faggot. Finally, an outlet for my obsessive dick fixation.
