By telling struggling voters that he doesn’t even think about their financial stress while he pursues a regime change in Tehran Donald Trump is effectively burying his own base alive. For years he promised that the forgotten man and woman would never be forgotten again but today he made it clear that their ability to buy eggs and fill their gas tanks is a distant second to a war in the Middle East. This matters because the very people who put him in office to end the inflation nightmare are now the ones being told to suck it up for a global military objective that has no clear end date.
🚨WTF. This is a MAJOR blunder.
While answering questions from reporters, Trump says “he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations.”

While the president talks about grand investments for our grandchildren the parents of today are watching their purchasing power be liquidated by an administration that has abandoned its populist roots. You cannot tell people to eat dirt while you spend billions on a naval blockade and expect them to stay loyal when they cant even afford to drive to work. This isn’t just a political misstep. It is a fundamental betrayal of the America First movement that replaces domestic prosperity with another endless foreign entanglement.
