While the Biden administration tried to pretend inflation didn’t exist, the Trump administration is acknowledging the impact military action in Iran has had on Americans’ finances.
But with a deal in the works and prices at the pump expected to keep dropping, Vice President JD Vance is looking toward the future while expressing gratitude to the American people for putting up with the pain while it lasted.
As the Daily Caller reported:
“Well, I guess my primary message to the American people is ‘thank you,’” Vance replied. “Because of your patience, I think that we’ve solved the problem that has plagued this country, again, for well before I was even born, which is a terrorist-supporting Iran that was pursuing a nuclear weapon. We are now at a place here where we can say with confidence, ‘They’re not going to get a nuclear weapon.’”
ADVERTISEMENTThe Trump administration has faced some headwinds in polling due to the conflict with Iran, with 58.3% of respondents disapproving of Trump’s handling of the situation, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average.
“And again, if they comply with the broader elements of the deal, this entire region— I mean think about this: for years if you’ve heard about the Middle East as an American, you’ve heard about war, you’ve heard about terrorism, you’ve heard about the constant chaos of the region,” Vance continued. “What the president has done is created [sic] the real space to transform that region, cooperation between the Gulf Arab allies and the Israelis, and now, hopefully, a new era with the Iranians.”
Details and rumors about the emerging agreement have been circulating on social media for days:
