“Well, every day, Americans see headlines about rising prices. Just this week, The Economist said: ``America faces another grocery- price shock.'' CNN: ``America is in for yet another long spell of price pain.'' PBS News: ``Iran war hits home as gasoline prices fuel significant U.S. inflation jump.'' Trump will surely try to brush aside these reports of higher costs as ``fake news,'' but Americans don't need to see the headlines to know we are in an affordability crisis. Americans feel the crushing weight of higher costs caused by Trump's disastrous war and failed economic policies every time they walk through the grocery aisle and step up to the gas pump. What Americans do not see is any sympathy, any support, or any plan from Trump and congressional Republicans to lower costs. In fact, they see the opposite. The other day, Trump said: I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about [anyone]. Trump's clueless comments make my blood boil. ``I don't think about [anyone]?'' They make Americans' blood boil. Americans can't understand how a President can be so cold, so callous, and so proud of it. Donald Trump doesn't think about how every time Americans go to the pump, they are paying over $4.50 for a gallon of gasoline--up more than $1.50 since Trump started this war.”
