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.

Billionaires not understanding working class struggles is nothing new.
Bill Gates was never in charge of a country and could be wrong, he was just a lucky CEO. Mean I’m sure he did a lot of work to buy DOS to repackage. Though they did take over development to our current day, for better or worse.
