Trump Shrugs Off Soaring Gas Prices: 'If They Rise, They Rise' [View all]

Billionaire Trump could not care less about your pain at the pump.

By NewsHound Ellen — March 9, 2026

The guy who has made billions for himself and his family by conning his way back into the White House with phony promises to lower costs has sent them skyrocketing again. Now, he is not even pretending to care.

"I don't have any concern about it," Donald Trump recently told Reuters about the higher gas prices his attack on Iran has caused. "They'll drop very rapidly when this is over, and if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit."

A little bit? Prices have already surged 35% this week thanks to Trump’s major disruption of global energy supplies. That’s probably just the start.
