Donald Trump had a message for Americans about the price of fuel and it went down as well as putting diesel in a petrol tank

As the United States’ war with Iran continues to ramble on aimlessly into an uncertain future, the man who started it all is keeping his foot on the gas.

Donald Trump has no idea how high gas prices will get for Americans, he just knows that he will (let them) pay whatever it takes. Because it’s worth it. (He’s still not being very clear about what “it” is.)

This messaging did not go over well with Americans.

Anyone who has tried to fill their car up with gas lately had a hard time getting on board with Trump’s strong-headedness.

Here are just a few of the many angry takes on the President’s tone deaf messaging.

Once again, he’s not asking his Big Oil donors to take less profit.

He’s asking working class Americans to pay more for gas, airfare, and any products affected by higher fuel prices because of his war. https://t.co/0rxCiWYoSe

Why does the media bother asking him anything at this point? He says the same shit every day, he answers every question the same way
