At least he f*cking admits it...Trump: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation. Not even a little bit."

Trump's startling dismissal of Americans' pocketbooks as a consideration in the Iran war sparked disbelief and calls for Democrats to capitalize on the stunning admission.

On Tuesday, a reporter asked Trump, to "what extent are Americans' financial situation motivating you to make a deal" to end the war in Iran? Trump answered, "Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans' financial situation."

The remark immediately backfired on social media.

"Oh my god," responded the progressive political news outlet Meidas Touch on X.

"Democratic ad makers are bookmarking this," journalist Scott MacFarlane wrote. MacFarlane added that he asked Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) about Trump's comment, and she said that Trump "didn't mean it."
