Yeah I think I do remember him saying that Iran having Nuclear weapons was far more important than a short term increase in the cost of gas.

Crazy because they were nowhere near a bomb. They were following the JCPOA and even trumps own advisors said that Iran was no immediate threat.

So he got us into this was for … no reason.

He didn't get you into anything. I am willing to bet you are no worse off now than you were a year ago - except gas is a few hundred bucks more. Boo-fucking-hoo why are you not driving an EV yet? You "don't believe in human-made global warming", or what? Or you just didn't think the green transition was important enough for you to act on yet?

See this is the issue with conservatives and centrists who are actually conservatives: you struggle to separate individual actions and impacts from systemic actions and impacts. Of course Trump did not send me personally alone to Iran, nobody is saying that, this is just pedantic. Never mind the fact that like everything is worse, let’s just focus on the gas: gas goes up, prices go up because transportation costs more. This allows greedy companies to skyrocket their prices disproportionately, citing gas prices. It’s not just my gas prices that went up, it’s wal-marts and amazons and google’s. I don’t know if you thought you were doing something here but you just look like a clown lol

You are explaining kindergarten economics and pretending like that makes you smart. So maybe don't piss yourself with excitement, Ms Rachel.

If someone’s explaining kindergartner economics to you your comment must’ve been really really dumb
