“Not even a little bit,” #Trump said.

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,” Trump continued, a stunningly frank admission that came after weeks spent either downplaying the conflict’s economic toll or simply asking Americans to be patient. His only consideration, Trump said, was preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon: “That’s all.”

But in recent weeks, as Americans feel deep economic strain from the #war he launched in #Iran, Trump’s actions & words have opened him up to accusations that he is either out of touch with — or indifferent to — the lives of everyday Americans. [why not both?]

#Trump Remarks Reveal a [Callous] #Billionaire Out of Touch

With his generational wealth, his 20-acre Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, FL, & his lucrative family businesses around the world, Trump has never…[been]…an ordinary American.

Instead, he has argued that he could use his [bogus] business savvy to help lift up the country’s forgotten men & women.

To Critics, Trump Remarks Reveal a Billionaire Out of Touch

The president has never pretended to be an ordinary American, but a recent “truth bomb” has opened him to criticism that he doesn’t grasp the economic strain of his war with Iran.

@peter Also, the unmitigated arrogance and snobbery of an engineer lecturing and insulting Education majors on how he can easily replace all of them with AISlop "agents" for "the price of an internet connection".
Clueless. Arrogant. #Billionaire #EricSchmidt

Anyone who opposes his #billionaire backers is now an enemy of the state.

#Israel provides the blueprint and the technology for how #ICE can hunt down and kill whoever #Trump decides, inside the #USA.

Any #resistance, #antifascism, or calls for global uprising a.k.a. #intifada will be suppressed by lethal force.

The #genocide in #Gaza #Palestine was only the pilot episode. Coming soon to a theater near you.

The Billionaire Tax Act on the California ballot this November would affect less than 200 people, or 0.000001% of the state's population.

Here is California's wealth distribution, with the top 0.01% (~3950 people) in their own bar.
