We’ve seen with Palestine that human suffering, unfortunately, does not motivate Americans like gas prices do. So it’s not a reflection of my priorities so much as something to point to to get people to stop supporting Trump’s policies.
At the end of the day, we have heard the same thing for a decade. Ignore his tone, ignore his words, ignore this or that policy, because the economy is/is going to be great. When the economy is not doing great, he still gets excuses. Gas prices, however, are what they are. No amount of spin control can stop that.
