"A reporter asked the president how much the financial situations of Americans were motivating him to seek a peace deal with Iran. Trump claimed in response that he did not consider the American people's finances even a little bit. Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody, he said. I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all. That's the only thing that motivates me."
"Democratic representatives, senators, and commentators took to X to call out the president's remark, with many claiming that Trump's words merely stated the obvious. Yea, We've noticed, wrote Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA). We can tell, wrote Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). No sh*t, wrote Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY). Others claimed that the president's statement was proof that he did not care about Americans writ large, with many writing that Trump had told the truth and made that sentiment clear in his own words."
"Has it ever been clearer that Donald Trump doesn't care about you? wrote Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). As he said, not even a little bit. In a rare moment of clarity, Donald Trump told the truth he does not care about Americans' financial struggles, wrote Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY). In a rare moment of clarity, Donald Trump told the truth he does not care about Americans' financial struggles."
"For once, Trump tells the truth! wrote Rep. Brittany Pettersen (D-CO). He doesn't care about the well-being of the American people and never did. For once, Trump tells the truth! He doesn't care about the well-being of the American people and never did."
