EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — Quinten Martinez, pumping gas under a hot South Texas sun, remembers a time when fueling up didn’t require difficult decisions.
“Is it going to be groceries this week?” asked the 28-year-old Amazon delivery driver as he watched the numbers tick higher. “Is it gonna be getting gas in our tank to go to work?”
He shook his head when asked about President Donald Trump’s assertion last week that higher gas prices are a small price to pay for the war with Iran.
“I don’t feel like it’s a good trade-off,” Martinez said. “I don’t feel like this is good for anyone.”
Voters across the country, and across the political spectrum, tend to agree.
Global distraction from the Epstein files and the fact that Trump raped children on that island.
For the small small price of dead Iranians, dead Americans, and a fucked global economy, Trump can keep those in the news instead of the files! Winning!!
No this wasn’t a distraction from the Epstien files, its been a long term republican goal. They’ve been trying to do a war with Iran since before the war with Iraq
