Trump: “I Don’t Think About Americans’ Financial Situation” — As Inflation Hits 3-Year High

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]So, the inflation report was released yesterday. In case you missed it, it is 3.8% close to 4%, a 3-year high. What does that mean?

[00:00:08]Everything is up. Gas prices. I'm in Florida, it's 4.55 a gallon, regular gas. It's high. It was under $3 before the war started, right?

[00:00:19]And now it's 4.5 and rising. What else? Beef is 40% up. So, if you're not vegan or you don't want to be, then you're going to feel that pinch. Tomatoes, we all use tomatoes, right? No matter what cuisine, up 40%. That's the truth.

[00:00:39]Coffee. I'm a big coffee stop, and I used to go to coffee shops a lot, but I don't anymore. Why?

[00:00:45]Because coffee is up 20%.

[00:00:49]So, those bills are up. Just fruits and vegetables up 6%. So, everything is up, right? Gas, fruits, vegetables, beef.

[00:00:55]So, it's not good for us, and you know, that tied with all the rising energy costs, right? Average household energy bills are up to $350 closely right now.

[00:01:07]So, everything is pretty bad for the regular American.

[00:01:12]And when you ask the president of the United States, a reporter asked him, you know, does that motivate you to do something about this, to kind of prioritize that? And he categorically said, "Nope, I don't think about anybody. I don't think about that at all. I don't think about the Americans' financial issues. I only think about Iran and making sure Iran does not get a nuclear weapon, which you can argue they never had it in the first place. So, what is he talking about? Inflation is at record high, and you don't care about the American citizens then that that's a bad thing.

[00:01:50]So, if you're not worried, well, you should be. I I certainly am.

[00:01:54]And this is not just an alarmist point of view, it's these are the facts. Rare truth that you get from the president sometimes. He doesn't care about the American financial crisis that is going on right now that we are all feeling common American households are feeling right now. So, that's the truth.
