Voters Didn't Get the Iran War — Gas Prices and War Cost It
Pissed about gas and diesel? Think Trump broke the no-wars promise? Yeah, we got smoked in the midterms because of it. I voted for no more never-ending wars too. Trump didn't start a new one — he walked into a 47-year-old one to end it. Quit now = next war + $7 diesel forever. Finish it = cheap fuel with no troops.

IN THIS VIDEO: South Carolina. Texas. Even Kansas. Reddest of red saying inflation, diesel, Iran war. I own the loss, then I answer the betrayal and the price — 1979 vs 1953, groceries = diesel = Hormuz, Trump admitting the cost, and why finishing it is the only way to cheap gas forever.
