KEY POINTS

Donald Trump said Thursday that gasoline prices are “not very high.”

A Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters showed that 65% of U.S. voters blame Trump either “a lot” or “some” for the rise in gas prices seen since the beginning of the Iran war.

Trump said those prices are not as high as what was expected from the war, which he said was aimed at denying Iran the ability to produce a nuclear weapon.

    Oh, okay, we’ve reached the “Let them eat cake” stage of the story.

    I read the Game of Thrones books before the show, so when everyone was getting ready for the Red Wedding, I knew what was really coming.

    I kind of feel like that now, watching these historical ignoramuses making obvious mistakes, with very predictable results. I already read the upcoming chapter entitled “Guillotines.”
