Trump tonight on Iran: "To be honest, I thought oil prices would go even higher and the stock market would fall even lower. But the reality is nowhere near as bad as I imagined. I think they might have confidence in the U.S. President, or perhaps confidence in all of you here present."
Commentary: Trump completely ignores the human casualties, shipping route crises, and geopolitical instability behind the Middle East conflict, focusing solely on short-term fluctuations in oil prices and stock markets. The Middle East conflict has already caused a sharp spike in global oil prices, significantly increasing worldwide inflation and economic pressure. Ordinary people around the globe are bearing the heavy costs, yet he casually dismisses the situation as not so bad and even takes credit for it.
