Erica L. Green reports:
But perhaps the most striking example came on Tuesday, when Mr. Trump was asked whether the economic hardship Americans are feeling would motivate him to make a deal to end the war.
“Not even a little bit,” he said. [emphasis added]
“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,” Mr. Trump continued, a stunningly frank admission that came after weeks spent either downplaying the conflict’s economic toll or simply asking Americans to be patient. His only consideration, Mr. Trump said, was preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon: “That’s all.”
That same day, the Labor Department reported that last month, inflation in the United States accelerated at its fastest rate in three years, and gas reached more than $4.50 a gallon.
This portion of the script hits the nail on the head:
Sell that stuff about a man among men... to those morons out there?
Shucks, I sell them chicken fertiliser as caviar.
I can make them eat dog food and think it’s steak.
Sure, I've got them like this.
You know what the public's like, a cage full of guinea pigs.
