States will likely be able to mitigate budget woes due to increase in fuel prices.

Patience is a virtue and a fruit of the Spirit.
We just bought gasoline and it was still less than when Biden was president.
President Trump lays it out and it makes sense.
The rise in prices are because it had dropped so much lower under Trump.
He said it is a temporary situation-
As a cashier I work 5 days a week and watch. People are still wasting SO much money on frivolous things and junk food and drinks that tells me there is still a lot of money people feel they can waste.

Do you know how many stupid energy drinks I’m still selling at $3 a can on a daily basis to the same people?
So a few dollars a week difference in gasoline is a drop in the bucket to the great waste of money I see people don’t think twice about spending.

Sad that gas prices are so much more important to most Americans than the suffering of the war's victims. Seems like we just filter that out. "What's in it for us?"

I appreciate your compassion.
What do you think should have been done about the Iranian regime? They were slaughtering their own people. Do you have the same compassion for those living under an evil regime that slaughters its own people, and is determined to destroy Israel and America?

I don't think the answer is to bomb them. Don't mistake US action for compassion. The US would leave them in power if they met the terms.

Trump has been talking about doing something about Iran for a long time & so have other presidents.
What do you suggest as a way to keep them from nuclear warfare on the 2 nations they chant death to- namely Israel and America?
I’ve yet to hear anyone with an answer to that.

I remember Trump promised not to get the US involved in any new foreign wars.

Please provide his quote in context.
Thank you!
He’s stopped several, but if it was an actual “promise” it was stupid- we are always in a war on terrorism and war on drugs. Sometimes as a Commander in Chief you have to do that which is for the greater good.

Or the greater destruction, in this case.
