Skyrocketing gas prices and no end in sight to the stand off in the Hormuz Strait have made President Donald Trumps war on Iran hugely unpopular with voters of all stripes.
CNN data analyst Harry Enten outlined Trumps 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.

(14,273 posts)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?

(14,273 posts)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.

(2,651 posts)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 presidents choosing and they let him off the hook for it?

(26,475 posts)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.

(5,584 posts)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!

(207 posts)selected to run this country. Its 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.
