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.

      35% is about the point at which you will always have Republicans supporting something regardless of how awful it is as long as it is a Republican position. 40 years of brainwashing by right-wing propaganda and corporate media complicity with it ensure it.
