I get that we’re just doing propaganda to reinforce the base, but this is actually out of context. He says his goal is to prevent Iran from getting a nuke, even if it impacts Americans’ finances. Now, he ripped up a deal that had been preventing Iran from getting a nuke in 2018 and is now murdering school children and they are going to get a nuke, but as a leftist, I value objective truth, so this meme can fuck right off.

The meme is missing context but not entirely incorrect. The language he chose to use means he doesn't care, not that he views it as a necessary evil. Don't give this monster the benefit of the doubt; apply the same skepticism you would with any other candidate.

Stop it, if that was true he would say "i think about it but nuclear iran must be stopped". He said he "not even a little bit", he just doesn't give a single shit if the average American is struggling it plays zero role in any decision he's ever made in his life.

"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all" https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/05/12/trump-economy-gas-prices-us-iran-war/90049537007/
