California Governor Newsom wrote today: "Don't worry, America! Your gas prices are rising - but Trump is making a fortune. So, it's all good."
Newsom's remarks were in response to a tweet from Trump, who said: "The US is currently the world's largest oil producer, so when oil prices rise, we make a lot of money. But as president, what matters more and concerns me more is: stopping an evil empire - Iran - from acquiring nuclear weapons, preventing it from destroying the Middle East, and even the entire world. I will never let that happen! Thank you all for your attention. President Donald J. Trump"
Comment: Trump boldly claims that "rising oil prices = America makes money," but deliberately ignores that it's actually the oil capital that profits, while ordinary people suffer. Newsom's sarcasm is justified: what Trump calls national security ultimately becomes a wealth secret for a few, while ordinary people have to pay for high oil prices. The US talks about ideals, but its heart is all about business.
