“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.”
“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.”
I think/hope this is what will alienate most of his MAGA backers in the end. He ran on “making America great again”. Not on “screwing Iran up again”. I don’t think most of his voters give a crap about Iran. They do about jobs and fuel prices.
Ps: and no I absolutely don’t think he would have made America “great again”. But basically he promised the disenfranchised that he would look out for them. And he obviously is doing the opposite.
This always was going to happen (a billionaire that got rich by screwing the little guys is not suddenly going to help the little guys) but I didn’t expect he’d be so outspoken about it.
His backers won’t abandon him, because he tells them that they can hate with impunity
They’ll forgive him anything, so long as they’re told that their ignorance and stupidity are righteous
