“When you’re negotiating with Iran, Mr. President, to what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal?” a reporter asked Trump before he left for China on Tuesday, alluding to the skyrocketing inflation caused by the fallout from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and Lebanon.

“Not even a little bit,” Trump said, shockingly out of touch even for him.

    Thats not how Trump works though. He just says whatever dumb thing has been on his mind in the last 15 minutes.

    Yesterday he was saying fuel prices have come down.

    Every other day hes been declaring the Strait open.

      I’m not claiming that he always thinks before speaking, or that he’s thinking before speaking this time. I’m just saying that he happens to have said what a person who did think before speaking would have said.
