Let's talk about Trump admitting he doesn't care about you.... - Belle of the Ranch

Well, howdy there internet people. It's Belle again. So, today we're going to talk about Trump admitting he doesn't care about you.

One of the things I loved about treating elderly women is when they reach that age where they just don't feel the need to sugarcoat things for people they don't like anymore. It always provided some of the most humorous moments. Trump is now that elderly woman.

Trump was asked, "When you're negotiating with Iran, Mr. President, to what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal?" He said, "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.

This is perhaps the most truthful thing Trump has ever said in public and there's a whole lot to dive into. Let's be clear on something. Iran was not actively seeking a nuke. US intelligence assessments and the International Atomic Energy Agency both said Iran did not have an active nuclear weapons program despite having all that uranium. The US intelligence consensus is that Iran hasn't had an active nuclear weapons program in more than 20 years. Trump's claims about Iran's nuclear weapons program are the same as Bush's claims about Iraq's WMDs.

Beyond that, despite all of the bombing and all of the money Trump and Hegseth basically lit on fire during Operation Epic Failure, the timeline for Iran to achieve a nuke if they started an active program is unchanged. So, he's solely focused on one thing and has failed to accomplish that because they've waged a war around sound bites rather than objectives.

Take out the stuff about why he doesn't care. And he says, "Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation. I don't think about anybody." No lies detected, Mr. President.

He told you the one Big Beautiful Bill was going to make your life better. Has it? He told you that manufacturing was coming back. He told you the US was entering a Golden Age.

When they passed the one big beautiful for billionaires package, it was about tax cuts for the rich. Do I believe they considered Americans financial situations during that? Not even a little bit. I don't think they thought about Americans’ financial situation. I don't think they thought about anybody except themselves.

If you take Trump's quote and apply it to his entire administration and every action, if you assume the only thing that matters are the things that benefit him and his wealthy friends, every single action he's taken makes complete sense.

Many Republicans will blow this off, but those who aren't in an echo chamber singing Trump's praises won't. If the Democratic party doesn't use this soundbite every day between now and the election every single campaign adviser needs to think about a different line of work. Candidate sings the praises of Trump or says they support his policies--play the clip. Then play, “I don't think about Americans financial situations.”

Trump's unnecessary elective war has put a lot of very sharp pebbles in a lot of shoes. People need to understand he doesn't care. Not even a little bit.

Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
