American media is now so captured that it seems the only way the American people know anything is going wrong in the world is if they see the gas* prices rise.

*Petrol. They're talking about petrol.

In America, Trump supporters are describing the rise in gas (petrol. It's petrol) prices as "the final betrayal".

Which implies they were all pretty happy about ALL THE OTHER BETRAYALS.

I can't help thinking that if somehow the Iran war had made fuel prices go down Trumps approval ratings would be through the roof by now...
