On the recordMay 13, 2026
yesterday, Donald Trump told a reporter: ``I don't think about Americans' financial situations.'' I don't think of anyone. I repeat: Donald Trump actually said this. He said: ``I don't think about Americans' financial situations.'' Can you believe it? You wouldn't believe it coming from any other President. But, sadly, from this President, it smacks of reality. He says almost anything, and he doesn't care. Clearly, Donald Trump doesn't care about Americans' financial situations, considering that, just this morning, we saw wholesale inflation skyrocket to 6 percent, the highest it has been since December of 2022--wholesale inflation, 6 percent. As those costs trickle down to Americans, Americans are going to be paying more and more and more, and they hate it. Now, what is Donald Trump thinking about instead? Himself, especially his new ballroom, at a time when 77 percent--that is 77 percent--of Americans say that Donald Trump's policies have increased their cost of living. Trump may be trying to build a ballroom, but, clearly, he is living in the theater of the absurd.
