Democrats were quick to make hay of President Donald Trump’s remark that the high price of gasoline “is peanuts.”
But what if he’s right? What if today’s prices are lower than they were, say, when we had a peanut farmer as president? Or many times since then?
Democrats called Trump “out of touch” with everyday Americans.
“’Peanuts’ isn’t how my constituents would describe the spiking gas prices that make everyday life more expensive,” said New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. “POTUS isn’t paying for this war. Middle-class Americans are, and he couldn’t care less.”
Trump is, of course, being maligned … again. What he said was that the cost of gasoline “is peanuts” next to what would happen if Iran got a nuclear weapon.
He’s certainly right about that.
