"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.

It's amazing how he talks about his supporters compared to how he talks to them, but what really blows my mind is how they just keep taking it.

They don't hear about any of this. They have intentionally boxed themselves into propaganda-fueled echo chambers that insulate them from anything they don't want to hear.
