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.
Yeah, I wasn’t trying to compare Trump to Gates in terms of what they ran, but how much having that money disconnects one from the working class. They don’t know shit about shit not because of why they have money/power, but because they have money/power. (They also likely have people who shop for them. I mean, I know Trump does, I just assume Gates still does, too.)
Ah I get it no worries. It’d be nice if people that had money and power and also understood what the rest of people needed. However I think wishing for a unicorn would yield similar results. Man I can only imagine that life though, not having to deal with the check out lines (yes rich people this is my hope rather than wishing everyone stays poor to fund me, even if I did have to stand in lines, they suck but we all get our turn)
