Trump touted the rising stock market as he brushed off concerns that Americans are laboring under higher gas prices as a result of the Iran war.

KEY POINTS

Donald Trump said Thursday that gasoline prices are “not very high.”

A Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters showed that 65% of U.S. voters blame Trump either “a lot” or “some” for the rise in gas prices seen since the beginning of the Iran war.

Trump said those prices are not as high as what was expected from the war, which he said was aimed at denying Iran the ability to produce a nuclear weapon.

      Yeah, but that’s in euro-dollars, or whatever you call them over there. Who even knows how much that is in real dollars? (I honestly wish I could claim /s on this, but this is literally how most Americans would see it)
