Before the start of Trump's war, the president knew he was risking the shutdown of the world's most vital shipping lane—which would throw the world into chaos.
But the 79 yo real estate developer assured White House advisers that Iran would surrender first.

Trump practically told our allies to f-off — that we didn’t need them, that the U.S. had already “won.”
Now he’s begging them for help.
The spike in US #gasprices has been extremely close to the 2022 Russia/Ukraine spike. Through 12 days, the national average in 2022 rose ~75c/gal, while this time in 2026, prices are up an average ~70c/gal over the same time frame.
“I have reached the point where, if the integrity of my manuscript is violated, I have no wish to go on living. It sounds vainglorious, I know, but I am ready to die for this book.”

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
It'll be fine, said Trump. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
In the detail this is all as bad as it sounds, if not worse. At every level—from the ICE myrmidons rounding up people to meet quotas to the tech companies directing them to “target-rich” environments—the effort was to round up bodies and get paid. And to tell cover stories or sheer lies to justify.

Graphic with yellow and white text reading, "The cost of Trump's tariffs is surging for American families. New estimates show the average U.S. household will pay $2,512 more in 2026 because of Trump's tariffs, up from the $1,745 extra families paid in 2025." Below, stacks of $100 bills appear depicting the $1,745 and $2,512 families will pay. Above the $100 bills, text reads, "2025: $1,745, 2026: $2,512."
Trump’s tariffs will cost your family more this year.
Pete Hegseth Says ‘the Sooner David Ellison’ Buys CNN, ‘the Better’ The remarks fueled concerns that CNN’s prospective new owner may shift its coverage in a Trump-friendly direction.
THIS has always been the game plan: grab mainstream media for Trump. The Ellison's did it with CBS News, which is more MAGA coded every day. Next CNN. Ellison may be promising an independent CNN but that's like a Supreme Court justice saying Roe was settled law.

Oil prices aren't expected to fall anytime soon. Futures markets suggest oil prices are very likely to be high high during the midterms.
Look who's having his underlings "leak" to reporters that he was never on board with this whole Iran war in the first place
www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
-At least 11 Americans dead
-Oil hit $101/barrel
-Gas now $3.60/gal
-Fertilizer prices soaring 30% before spring planting season
-AT LEAST $11.3 billion spent in just the FIRST week of Iran War
And the Trump administration can't keep its story straight for why we're at war or when it'll end.
the effing wheels are off the bus: Economy
Fourth-quarter GDP revised down to just 0.7% growth; January core inflation was 3.1%
US has burned through ‘years’ of munitions since start of Iran war www.ft.com/content/1471...
"Top Trump officials acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes, according to three sources familiar with the closed-door session."
How is this real life? AYFKM
It took the White House about 8 days to get to: actually high gas prices are awesome.
You can't make deals if everyone knows you reneg on deals.
Russia rakes in $150mn a day in extra revenue from surging oil prices
Also: Bessent announced today that we’re relaxing more sanctions on Russia. The US will allow countries to buy Russian oil stranded at sea

It’s six months until the midterms and Donald Trump’s message to voters is that skyrocketing gas prices are good, actually.
"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours"
Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.
At this point, it would’ve been cheaper to extend the ACA subsidies than to engage in this illegal and immoral war in Iran. Goes to show you who—and what—the Republican Party is willing to spend money on.
it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"
Who could have… 🤦♀️

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.
Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
The better plan to lower gas prices is to
END
THE
WAR.
