In the video above, posted by the Associated Press on May 12, Trump says he does not consider Americans’ financial situation at all, “not even a little bit” while negotiating a deal to end his war with Iran.

In the last videos below, Trump dismisses this problem of current high gas prices nationwide — the highest since 2022 — as “peanuts,” saying he was in Iowa and gas was $1.85/gallon there.

Of course he doesn’t care. Tr*mp has more than doubled his net worth since taking office. Not to mention billions more for Don Jr & Eric.
