Donald Trump deflected responsibility for misleading Americans about the length of the Iran war, dismissed low poll ratings as “fake numbers” and refused to rule out the possibility of declaring a state of emergency before the midterms, in a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine.
When confronted with questions about the length of the Iran war, the US president blamed the media for reporting his remarks in which he said the conflict was projected to last “four to five weeks”, in March.
“ … I think the press fed it to them,” Trump told Time when asked whether Americans misunderstood him.



A bunch of red states already did…
They’re cutting restrictions on red diesel and letting trucks run overloaded to make less trips.
The red diesel is the big one tho, we need that shit to harvest crops here in a little bit, allowing it on road is going to burn thru the reserves that already wasn’t big enough.
trump is gambling on trying to get UK or other “allies” to give us their reserves, but they need that shit themselves, because of the war trump started.
It’s going to get much worse before midterms too. Which is why using reserves now is so stupid. Probably 2-3 weeks before election Iran is going to really tighten the screws and make gas prices skyrocket. I really could see them shutting off the whole tap to influence midterms against trump.
Maybe even flat out saying “if republicans win this won’t stop”. And with the Houthis controlling one major straight, they can hold it for literal decades
