BREAKING: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent deliver a DISASTROUS midterms message — admit that Americans must suffer economically for Trump's Iran War.
Please help spread this far and wide...
"Mr. Secretary, you were quoted saying in an interview earlier this week that it was worth a bit of economic pain for international security," a reporter said during a press conference. "Is that this administration's message to American voters with high gas prices ahead of the midterms this year, that it's worth the economic pain?"
"Well, the message is the short-term volatility for long-term gain," said Bessent.
Of course, there is no "long-term gain" to be had here. Iran posed no immediate threat to the United States and no American interests were at stake. Trump launched this war because Israel wanted it and now American troops are dying and the global economy is contracting.
"If I could add to that," Leavitt said, jumping in after Bessent. "You know, the president's been very clear, again, as the Secretary just said, this is short-term disruption for the long-term strategic goal of the United States to ensure that the world's leading state sponsor of terror cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. That's a good thing for the American people. That's a good thing for people all over the world."
As Trump's own intelligence agencies have admitted, Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons. In fact, Ayatollah Khamenei — who was assassinated at the beginning of the war — had a religious fatwa in place banning Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
"And as the President and his economic and energy team have repeatedly stated, as soon as the operation and now the negotiations with Iran conclude and the strait is reopened, we do expect gas prices to decrease," Leavitt continued.
"And thank goodness we have a president in an administration that believes in American energy dominance, in bringing down prices at the pump," she went on. "Look at how gas prices decreased over the past year since this president was in office. It's a stark contrast to the previous administration and Democrats in this city who believe in hampering our domestic energy industry, who believe in importing our most precious resources, who believe in implementing policies that created the worst inflation crisis in history.
"So President Trump has built the greatest economy in the world before," she added, conveniently rewriting history to ignore the disastrous effects of his harebrained tariffs. "He is doing it again. Of course, we have this short-term disruption. But, again, it's for the long-term strategic goal of ensuring that these terrorists cannot possess a nuclear bomb."
There you have it ladies and gentleman. You have pay more at the grocery market and gas station because Donald Trump wants to drop bombs on schools full of children overseas. It may not seem worth it to you, but rest assured, the President — who continues to enrich himself and his family on a daily basis — is confident that your suffering is a small price to pay for his agenda.
Remember when this monster ran on being anti-war?
Please ❤️ and share if you are unwilling to pay the price for Trump's illegal war!
Schools were not forcing kids to have transgender surgery.
Babies were not being aborted after they were born.
Migrants were not crossing the border to vote for Kamala Harris.
Donald Trump is a pathological liar and, if you believed this shit, you are a pathological dumbass.
Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,
You say that Donald Trump “loves our troops.”
So, once again, I want to know why that is.
Is it because he received 5 deferments (for a fake medical condition) from the draft during the Vietnam War?
Or is it the time he bragged that “avoiding STDs” was his personal equivalent of military combat?
Is it because he demeaned a POW, attacked a Gold Star family and told a military widow that her deceased husband “knew what he had signed up for.”
Was it the time he downplayed the traumatic head injuries suffered by our troops after a missile attack as “not real” because they weren’t “missing hands and limbs.”
Is it the time he said he didn’t want to be seen with war-wounded amputees and to keep them forever out of his sight, or the time he called our fallen heroes of war “suckers” and “losers”?
Was it the time he skipped an event in France honoring our Marines because it was raining?
Is it all the times he called our military leaders “dumb” and “overrated” while calling terrorists like the Taliban & Hezbollah “very smart”?
Was it the time he demanded the flags after McCain’s death be returned to full mast, or the time he demanded that a ship bearing his name be blocked from view?
Was it when he suggested that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff deserved to be executed?
Maybe it was when he asked Gen. John Kelly (who lost his son in combat) why anyone would sign up for service because as far as he saw it, there was “nothing in it for them.”
Perhaps it was hearing him say that as President he would allow our adversary to attack the same allies this country’s Greatest Generation fought beside and died defending?
Or was it when he insulted Nikki Haley’s husband for currently serving our country overseas?
Was it when he said the Medal of Freedom he gave to his rich donors was “much better” than the Medal of Honor because the recipients of that honor are “in bad shape or dead.”
Was it when he insisted on using the sacred shrine that is Arlington National Cemetery, the final resting place for more than 400,000 veterans and their families, as a photo op for his campaign despite the fact that he wasn’t allowed to do so and officials there were attacked by his staff for trying to stop him?
Was it when he decimated the VA and gutted a suicide prevention hotline meant to help our veterans in their darkest hour?
Is it the fact that he’s fired more of our veterans than any other president in our history?
Or was it when he skipped the dignified transfer of the four soldiers who died in Lithuania so he could host a glittery gala at his gilded golf motel for the folks who funded 9/11?
Was it the time he droned on about “trophy wives” while wearing a MAGA hat to the West Point graduation? Or the time he talked about the “Olympics” and the “World Cup” on Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery?
Or was it when he called for the execution of several Democratic lawmakers because they made a video reminding service members to refuse unlawful orders?
Which of those things makes you believe he loves our troops?
Which one?
Because he just sent three of our service members to their deaths for an illegal war he never justified, never explained, didn’t seek Congressional approval for, and has no plan to extract us from.
The guy who PROMISED you he was the one to end ALL FOREIGN WARS is using OUR troops as props in a deadly game that is undoubtedly lining HIS pockets while making all of us far less safe at the same damn time.
And I just don’t understand how you don’t see that.
So what is it? Because for the life of me, I can’t figure it out, and I’d really, really love to know.
