Just thought that we might all need a reminder that Donald Trump, our Dear Leader, admitted that he does not think about the grim financial realities which Americans are facing, in large part because of Trump's war with Iran, which has raised gas prices. Also, because Trump completely failed to rein in inflation, one of his major campaign promises.
It has not even been a week since Trump made this infamous statement. This is what he said, specifically (not taking it out of context):
“The only thing that matters, when I’m talking about Iran, they can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said. “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.”
Yup.
The comment shocked a lot of people. The only thing that I found surprising is that he actually stated out loud his indifference and complete and utter disregard to the suffering of millions of Americans right now.
What does he care? He's a billionaire and currently cashing in even more on his position in the White House.
For the rest of us, however, it was just another ridiculous statement, another scandal. More proof that, by rights, this guy should frankly have no business being within a thousand miles of the Oval Office, instead of having been elected there.
Twice.
Does he feel bad about what he said? Did he clarify it, saying that of course he cares about how Americans are currently struggling.
Not exactly.
Here is what he said in defense of his comment:
“That’s a perfect statement. I’d make it again,” Trump told Fox News’ Bret Baier in an interview Friday after being shown a clip of his previous comments.
What an absolute fucking loser this man is.
Are we finally done pretending that he actually cares about anything or anyone other than himself? Can those who supported and voted for him finally concede that there is something wrong? That this man really is not who they thought he was?
How many times does this man have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is completely unfit for office before we finally get over him and remove him from office, one and for all. Just put this nightmare behind us?
We all make mistakes, both as individuals and as groups of people. That includes nations. Yes, I am saying that Donald Trump was a mistake, and an enormous one. Frankly, I am of the belief that he is the biggest mistake that this nation has ever made, and that's saying something.
The question for Americans now is whether or not we can get over our own collective conceit and finally admit this mistake with the world watching, or whether we will, once again, be too damn stubborn and stuck up to actually acknowledge and learn from our mistakes? Or in this case, one major mistake that nobody will ever be able to unsee.
What a farce this presidency is.
Collectively, now, let's get over ourselves. Let's move past this small little man and no longer allow his dark shadow to blot our possibilities and what good still survives this dark chapter in our history.
‘Perfect statement’: Trump defends saying he isn’t thinking about Americans’ finances amid Iran talks by Casey Wooten, May 15, 2026:
The president also said he’s not considering the political implications of the Iran war for the midterms, when Republicans will be defending slim majorities in each chamber.
