i'm still trying to decide if he's an intentional idiot or just a common fool. nukes? what crap; 

 

U.S. President Donald Trump again dismissed Americans’ concerns about high prices and said he will not apologize for starting an unconstitutional war or the high gas prices that have resulted.

Speaking to cadets at the New York Police Academy on August 14, Trump said $4-per-gallon gas is the price Americans must pay to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon. 

The remarks reprise comments made in May, when the president said he isn’t worried about the financial situation of Americans because, again, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Oddly Trump and top administration officials have said Iran’s nuclear capability was destroyed last year.

The latest comments aren’t good optics, as the argot inside the Washington beltway goes. Americans strongly disapprove of Trump’s performance by margins of almost 20 percent.

That might mean ballot-box shellacking for the party of lobster tails and rib eyes in November............more...........
