WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said he's not thinking about Americans' financial concerns about rising gas prices ‒ and is only worried about preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon ‒ as he negotiates a deal with Iran.:whoa:

"Not even a little bit," Trump told reporters May 12 when asked to what extent he's motivated by Americans' financial situation to reach a deal that ends the war in Iran.

"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," the president added.

Trump's remarks ‒ certain to be seized on by Democrats ‒ came as the consumer price index surged 3.8% in April, the largest increase in inflation in three years, as a result of increasing oil costs stemming from the Iran war.

Trump has increasingly expressed frustrations when asked about rising prices at the gas pump, which pose a major political challenge for the president and Republicans during the 2026 midterm elections. A CNN poll released May 12 found 70% of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, the lowest mark of his presidency.

Trump has countered concerns by arguing the price of oil is not as high as he expected, while predicting prices will "drop like a rock" once the war in Iran concludes.

So, Crazy Trump promised to end inflation on day one, and now he doesn't care about the average Americans who voted for him.

He never did and never has.

He describes them basically as useful idiots.

They are there for him to grift and to give him power to loot the treasury and diminish America.

The day Trump is out of politics is the last day he will deliberately see any of his magat supporters as he cannot hide the disdain he has for them.
 
Right now, Trump is kowtowing to Xi, cap in hand, so to speak.

His foolish attack on Iran has become politically and economically costly for the Trump administration, leaving it with less leverage in trade negotiations with Beijing.

Although the PRC has been relatively unaffected by global energy shortages compared to the rest of Asia due to large stockpiles and continued oil shipments from Iran, a weakening of international demand for Chinese exports, due to the very real possibility of a global recession, could severely impact the PRC’s economy long-term. Additionally, price increases from the high oil prices have affected the cost of production for petrochemical products like plastics up to 20 percent, according to the BBC.

Xi will not let Trump "off the hook".

The PRC’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi hosted Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in May. At that time he called for the restoration of safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz by the US. At the same time, the PRC defended Iranian sovereignty and security concerns and has resisted Israeli and U.S.-backed efforts at the United Nations to pressure Iran, believing that the war criminals are desperate to legitimize their military action that triggered the conflict, which most nations know to be unlawful.

Trump's statement should have stopped after he said " I don't think " and he would have told a TRUE statement and not lied for a change.

It's called getting hysterical over absolutely nothing. Any idiot with common sense knows Trump shouldn't give a single fuck about gas prices or the economy when the stakes are stopping Iran from getting a nuke. I know that eliminates every libtard on JPP, but who gives a shit about what a bunch of anti-American simpleton's think? Nobody in their right minds.

These people are an insane Islamist death cult that would glass Tel Aviv and New York in a heartbeat if they could. National survival beats your grocery bill every single time. This is why the democrats like them so much, even though they'd be the first ones to have their heads separated from their bodies if Iran spread across the planet like their trying to.

Also, this is a great example of how Trump baits these morons. Of course, their supporters are so dumb they can claim Trump is acting because of polls one day and then claim he doesn't care how bad they get the next and the libtards just go along like usual, lol.

🧊 FACT CHECK (Sourced)​

1. “Trump shouldn’t care about gas prices or the economy because Iran is trying to get a nuke.”​

This is opinion, not fact.

What’s factual:​

  • Iran’s nuclear program is a long‑running national security concern.
  • The U.S. government — under multiple administrations — has treated Iran’s nuclear ambitions as a major foreign policy issue.
    • Source: Congressional Research Service; IAEA reports.

What’s not factual:​

  • The claim that “any idiot knows” presidents shouldn’t care about domestic issues during foreign crises.
    • Presidents routinely address both domestic and foreign policy simultaneously.
    • No credible source says a president should “not give a single fuck” about the economy.
This is rhetorical framing, not evidence.

2. “Iran is an Islamist death cult that would nuke Tel Aviv and New York if they could.”​

This is hyperbolic political rhetoric, not a factual statement.

What’s factual:​

  • Iran’s government is an authoritarian theocracy with a history of human rights abuses.
  • Iran has supported militant groups designated as terrorist organizations by the U.S. and EU.
    • Source: U.S. State Department; EU Council.

What’s not factual:​

  • Claims about Iran planning to “glass” cities like Tel Aviv or New York.
    • No intelligence agency, IAEA report, or credible source has stated Iran intends to nuke U.S. cities.
    • Iran does not currently possess a nuclear weapon.
      • Source: IAEA monitoring reports.
This is fear‑based exaggeration, not evidence.

3. “Democrats like Iran / support Iran / align with Iran.”​

False.

Factual record:​

  • Both Democratic and Republican administrations have imposed sanctions on Iran.
  • Both parties have condemned Iran’s human rights abuses and nuclear ambitions.
  • The JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) was supported by Democrats as a non‑proliferation strategy, not an endorsement of Iran’s ideology.
There is no evidence that Democrats “like” Iran or support its regime.
This is ideological framing, not fact.

4. “Trump baits morons. They say he cares about polls one day and doesn’t the next.”​

This is opinion, not a factual claim. It’s commentary about political supporters, not evidence‑based analysis.

🧊 BIAS CHECK ON THE POST​

The post uses several rhetorical markers of strong ideological bias, including:
  • Derogatory labels (“libtards,” “anti‑American simpletons”)
  • Dehumanizing language toward a foreign population
  • Claims of obvious truth (“any idiot knows,” “nobody in their right mind”)
  • Unfalsifiable predictions (“they’d glass cities in a heartbeat”)
  • Mind‑reading claims about political groups (“Democrats like them so much”)
  • Sweeping generalizations about millions of people
None of these are factual claims — they’re emotional framing.
