Trump says he doesn't 'give a damn' about gas prices as US making 'fortune'
"I can just see the fake headlines," Trump said. "President Trump is talking about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump."
"But I said, ‘I don't give a damn, I'm gonna say it: We're making a frickin fortune,’" he added.

The US is making such a fortune that its national debt is larger than it has ever been. But Trump only cares for Trump.
By "US" he means himself of course. L'État c'est moi. He does not have a concept of the US as a state or cares about anything of that kind. Mobsters only care about their own financial interests.
Trump says he doesn't 'give a damn'
about gas prices as US making 'fortune'Fixed the title.
Extorting a fortune from the working class. I can’t wait until an angry mob gives him the Mussolini finale
The Gaddafi coda would also be an acceptable outcome.
Here I wish they would sentence every member in Florida and U.S. congress to prison who read the report on Matt Gaetz traffickimg and raping a minor to prison for 20 years no parole. Every one of them is an accessory to raping a child at this point. If any of them voted to support the death penalty those ones should get it.
All of their families should be ashamed of their names for generations.
(Oh and for the record, it was read in U.S. congress, so all of them live in the district of the death penalty, they are the ones who didn't vote it out... They should hope they had the chance to do so, or proposed to get rid of it)
Most people in the Trump administration and a google number of Congress is probably pedophiles

Disturbing. An AI “ecosystem” is what the fascists say they’re building .
Missing a word there I think:
It baffles me that people see this guy getting increasingly unhinged the farther into his dementia he gets, and they just shrug. Congress could remove him anytime they want too.
Yeah it's almost like they don't want to fix anything or hold any of these ghouls accountable at all because they all want their own piece of the money/power shit pie. Weird. Nobody can seem to figure it out. What in the world is going on?
Greed. - And it's such a disgusting disease that raping children is ignored in favor of it.
Thanks for reminding me...I try not to think about it bcz it's extremely triggering as a survivor of child rape.
I listened to an (american) podcast and on the side they talk a lot about pefophiles/guns because it was relevant. The point was always like: man pedophiles shold all just hang on the road, so other pedophiles would be scared. "When i was young my dad told me that they just made pedophiles dissapear." And he was awefully proud of that. There was A LOT of talk about what they would do with a pedophile. Meanwhile they have the most famous pedophile in charge of their country, but not a single mention of that.
His supporters don't see this stuff.
They go to his rallies, can't get more in your face real than that. His incoherent ramblings on a stage don't lie.
They still just clap at anything he says. Must be nice, being in a cult and just ignoring or not realizing one's struggles.
But actually, I'd rather be aware of them.
MAGA faithful have been walking out due to boredom since his first term, it's just physically impossible to get enough of them in one place at the same time because of all that empty land in the big beautiful map of cows that voted for him
In their defense, if Trump is as bad as he appears at the rallies they attend that would mean they were wrong, enabled terrible people to do horrible things and are themselves monsters for cheering these people as they raped, stole and lied. So they kind of can't afford to be wrong. Granted, they can't afford anything alse,at this point..both financially and morally bankrupt.
Who is making a fortune? It certainly isn't me
You are paying for the people making the fortune
We know
is the right "build up" before the punch line.
He's bragged about destroying the world through Iran war with the same brag before. Also adding, that destroying world is good for America because of high US oil production and US doesn't need Straight of Hormuz.
So there's always been a tails we lose, heads we deserved to lose all along, plan for the war.
His presidency is a slow motion car wreck, but we are in the car and he having the time of his life .
He said the loud part loudly.
US = stock market = him
He's a piece of shit, he needs to BLER be sent to a farm upstate.
It's because his usage of 'fake' doesn't mean what one might think. He simply means a headline that he doesn't like.
How can a non-wealthy trump supporter hear this and continue to support him?
He's pissing in your fucking face.
They've all eaten their bananas, it's the antidote for piss in your face
They don't know he said this.
That's right. The "editorial" for small town papers around here, which are mostly owned by super rich people now is a satire bit about the editor making fun of himself wanting to be king, to try and make fun of the no kings movement. Nothing of actual substance ever enters conservative owned media outside of them making fun of it so their base sadly thinks they are being clever by rejecting opposing views.
I've heard the saying that they all consider themselves temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
They like the piss. It's trickle down economics.
Because as long as he is pissing in minorities faces too, it's acceptable for them.
They are just brainwashed.
I’m done with “brainwashed”. They’re fuckin morons.
Fuck that, anybody still supporting him are retarded.
It is important to clarify that they are hateful morons. The "hate"-part is doing a lot of work. You can be a moron and not be a Trump supporter, but it is very rare to see a hateful moron who isn't one.
They are indeed, but somewhere humanity failed them. You are not born a moron.
You absolutely are born a moron LOL
Maybe you are right, I see your critical thinking skills didnt develop.
Idk I’ve met babies and they are deffo morons.
It’s quite amazing how dumb these maga people continue to be.
Leopards been eatin' good since 2016.
What am I saying. These phat cats been eatin' good since Reagan.
Leopards been eating good for far longer than that. At least since politics was invented. Probably even before then.
Cells. Lack of them to be specific. And brain ones to be more specific.
Of all the cells, the brain ones really are the most important of the cells.
Whenever he says America he means "me".
For examle: Me first! or Democrats are the greatest threat to me.

WindowWinduDid that go well for him?
Trump seems to have a humiliation kink so he might briefly enjoy the consequences should he see any
A me rica you say?
At this point the "mask" is so off we're just being mocked by a skull
This is Trump we're talking about. His mask was always paper thin and falling off fifteen minutes after he said anything "politically savvy"
Anyone who has been fooled by him is a fucking idiot.
Can you see any difference between the "drain the swamp" stuff from round 1 and openly gloating about how profitable the little people's struggles are?
The only difference between round 1 and this time is round 1 there were some in his party that thought they could control him and it was blatantly obvious they weren't ready to actually win the election. That's why you had so much turnover and can actually set a political time period of a Scaramucci being 10 days. This time around the Heritage Foundation hitched their wagon to his horse. Remember also, he bought the hotel right down from the white house and refused to separate himself from it so you had foreign influences staying there trying to get cozy with him.
Openly gloating about how profitable the little people's struggles are, he did plenty of that in Covid, and if you knew anything about the man, plenty before he was elected. This is the guy who's always been infamous for not paying his debts.
As a far more casual observer, round 1 the cartoon business villain from "the apprentice" promised to use his signature catchphrase on the crooked politicians everyone was already so sick of and round 2 has been a victory lap where perhaps the most crooked 'politician' of all time revels in the hypocrisy of gleefully marketing us to the highest bidder, with the full support of his only constituents that actually matter (the corpo scum buying). Remember that supreme court thing where they said corporations were people now? At this point I'm waiting for one where they just come out and say people aren't anymore. Already kinda went and made speech meaningfully impossible without money
I think its great. We should be more honest with each other.
In 1987 I got mugged in East St. Louis and when the guy ran away I shot him in the back four times and took everything he had on him. When I got on my greyhound an hour later, the cops still hadn't shown up, and it never even made a police blotter anywhere. The only record of that he ever existed is the knife he threatened me with, which I use to whittle toys for my grandkids.
It would be great if there were consequences. But instead we were preached at every day "and justice for all" while we get justice for none

And the chuckle fucks still support him
Commuting is not deductible. Can't afford gas to get to work? Too bad.
It should be, people do get it covered. Talk to your union rep if the company doesn't cover your commute.
that's not what deductible means.
If it's covered then it's a business expense. You can deduct it from your taxes and get the non-tax value as compensation.
The companies don't need to cover the gas tax. Which is what you can deduct.
That's not how that works. (Normal) commuting costs are never deductible (in the US). Even if your company covers commuting costs for you, that compensation is still fully taxable as income.
I never said it wasn't.
there are enough misunderstandings about it (probably because related laws change so frequently) that the IRS devoted much of a publication to it
The "fake headlines" that say the thing you just said...?
Every day I'm in awe that this man made it anywhere near the oval office. Just completely unabashed stupidity comes out of his mouth constantly. Even if it wasn't horrendously crooked (which it is), or criminal (which it also is), or callous, it would just be fucking stupid .
He has a magical ability to just say the quiet part out loud and win more support. Bonkers.
The power of social media. Fascism is back because of it.
I mean, did it ever really leave?
"I can see the fake headlines: Trump says thing that Trump believes."
"But I don't give a damn, (says thing that "fake" headlines say)"
MAGA: "YEAH! If I had more than one braincell beating itself over the head I might be confused by your statement! But thankfully I have NO braincells!"
By US he means "us" as in the Trump family.
Also his oligarch co-conspirators.
Translation: This is working just as the child rapist intended - transferring wealth from ordinary Americans to the 1%, exactly the same as his tariffs.
It's not even the 1% anymore. It's the 0.01%.
You can even see this in the enclave cities where everyone is a millionaire. They're experiencing a round of gentrification as the billionaires come in and bulldoze a row of 5 million dollar mansions to build compounds.
It's absolutely wild.
USA is also making a fortune on the Russian war on Ukraine. And Trump doesn't give a shit about Ukrainians dying every day.
Trump is a psycho or rather malignant narcissist which is even worse than psycho- and sociopath combined.
And Americans are evil as a country for voting him in.
He is, the rest are just serfs in his head
And they vote for him!
“President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making
whileFROM people suffering at the pump.”'we' as in Trump family and friends
Yeah, because donnie dumbass made 2+ billion dollars since the start of his second failed term.
I mean nobody should be surprised, but I hope more people will see through the lies.
'tis but a jest, dear boy!
honest for once
He has no fucking clue how inflation works does he.
But he knows how to rob you blind
So when do I get my share to offset these gas prices?
Laughs in sitting in my EV.
Doing the same thing the Biden admin was doing for groceries, but for gas prices. How can the economy be bad, my investment portfolio is doing amazing! Ironically, the very same flub that gave him his second term in the first place.
What war did Biden start to increase my grocery prices?
I'm saying both administrations ignored economic pressure felt by the people they rule over, not that the situations are 100% the same.
