CNN Data Guru Stunned by Trump's 'Horribly Unpopular' Issue

Skyrocketing gas prices and no end in sight to the stand off in the Hormuz Strait have made President Donald Trump’s war on Iran hugely unpopular with voters of all stripes.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten outlined Trump’s voter problem, pointing out that even 55 percent of Republican voters blame high gas prices on the president.

“He is getting blamed to an historic degree,” Enten said.

Trump, 79, continues to deny that the war in Iran is an unpopular issue. Asked about gas prices last week, which are now at almost $4.40 a gallon, Trump dismissed concerns, saying once the war is over they will fall.

Said the was was over. Then the next one said Trump doesn't agree with Iran's demands to end war.

How can that be? If it's over, why does Iran still have demands too end it?

He is a grifting con man who has stepped on a yellow jackets nest . You mess with them and they attempt to sting you to death. The Iranians are not as gullible as the American electorate. They are stinging hard and will do whatever it takes to protect the hive.

He has not gotten away with everything … yet .

2 impeachments , convicted of 34 felonies , 1 adjudicated rape … there exist lists of his criminal behaviors . Lies exposed , his name in the Epstein files etc

Get away with it is just a braggadocio

He's laughing all the way to the bank on that one. He's still president, he and his kids are grifting like crazy, no one is stopping it. The women he's abused haven't had justice, he has gotten away with everything.

So 45% of Republicans look at gas prices approaching the mid $4 a gallon range and say “Biden did this”? The fact that gas prices can go up by over 25% due to a war of the president’s choosing and they let him off the hook for it?

Now that they have some complaints (war, Epstein, affordability), Trump has turned his lack of charm on them.

Trump has no positive qualities. He isn't noble, loyal, funny, charming... And once you feel his lack of charm aimed at you, it starts to really grate on you. Trump doesn't care about your gas prices. Trump doesn't care about your anti-foreign war thinking. Trump only cares about Trump.

I don't think people have paid much attention as the prices kept rising in ten cent increments. But today, there is a big number 4 in front of the price. They will sure notice THAT!

selected to run this country. It’s irrational to believe such high officials in their bought positions could care about or know on a visceral level what $4-5.00 a gallon gasoline or $2000.00 a month rent stresses a poor person enough to shorten their life. The emotional and physical toll is an insidious crime that is not recognized by these grifting, untouchable American royals.
