NEW: President Trump insisting gas prices will fall below $2 a gallon after the midterms, saying current high prices are the cost of keeping Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
"Right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward. They're going to be tumbling down, and we'll get them down, I think for gasoline, we'll get them below $2 a gallon."
19 years ago today, Britney Spears opened the 2007 VMAs with Gimme More, one of the most scrutinized performances in history.
The backlash quickly became bigger than the performance itself, feeding into the relentless media coverage, public ridicule and invasive scrutiny.
π¨ BREAKING:
Obama: "Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I revoked Fox News' White House press credentials. Imagine if I told law firms representing those opposed to my policies: You won't be allowed in government buildings. We'll punish you economically for opposing the Affordable Care Act or the Iran nuclear deal. We'd go after students protesting my policies.
It's absurd that the same people staying silent now would have tolerated this behavior from me or many of my predecessors."
@ChrisJoor@ChrisCillizza@stoolpresidente Oh, so caring does matter then.. You mean like how the US doesnβt care as much about soccer as other countries, so our athletes that couldβve grown into elite soccer prospects instead funnel themselves into Americaβs more popular sports? Something like that?
@TexasCoachMike This same system seems to work out for basketball, baseball, hockey, and womenβs soccer.. Genuinely curious why itβs only menβs soccer that uses it as an excuse?
