White House Insists High Gas Prices Are Small Price To Pay For Accomplishing Nothing In Iran​

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With the nation facing its highest gas prices in years, the Trump administration assured Americans that it is but a small price to pay for accomplishing nothing in Iran.

Though thousands of Americans have been forced to take out reverse mortgages to fill their cars with gas, White House officials insisted that citizens must be prepared to make sacrifices in order to achieve zero strategic objectives.

"We understand that people are experiencing real pain at the pump — but losing half of your discretionary income is a small cost for us to achieve nothing in Iran," the White House said in a statement. "When you look at the price of gas, remember this is the price you pay to not fully dislodge the regime, fail to secure Iran's enriched uranium, be unable to open the Strait of Hormuz, or successfully safeguard our allies from further attacks. Always consider those lack of accomplishments when you are selling a portion of your liver to fill up your truck with gas."

Americans responded by rallying around the administration, eager to make the sacrifice for no particular gain. "It's the least I can do so that we can meander about the Gulf, not realizing any goals," said local man Stan Martin. "It was sad, selling my dog to be able to pay for a tank of gas. But I hold my head high, knowing it's helping America not gain anything."

At publishing time, the White House also insisted that leaving the Strait of Hormuz in Iran's control was a small price to pay to keep negotiating about who controls the Strait of Hormuz.

I recall some years ago when there was serious issues with Syria and our government was watching things with satellites and noticed one building had a lot of activity with people going in and out of it and quickly thinking it was a Russian headquarters so they dropped a bomb on it, later they found they killed a few Israel generals, a few British military officials and on top of that a few of our own people. Why can't they use this to track down where all the military activity in Iran?

Oh Bee that isn't at all true! Those high gas prices are working wonders at transferring wealth up the chain into the hands of the obscenely well to do and making a few powerful people very pleased! There's never been a better opportunity for insider trading too!

A lot of people are HIGHLY offended that Trump he doesn't think - at all - about how his decisions re: Iran affect Americans. They equate that with "he doesn't care". I don't know if he does or not, but if one is making big decisions like this, one simply CAN'T think about all the fallout from them; one deals with the fallout when it shows up. Even when you know it'll make people hate you some more.

It’s the Bee. But Trump did warn the public awhile back to expect some pain/sting initially.

Seemed like a bad idea to do something that would hurt just ahead of the midterms.

But based on the voter turnout at primaries for Trump-endorsed candidates, the fallout is not hitting anywhere NEAR as hard as I thought it might.
Thats a good thing, I was wondering if the fence riders would bail as so many on social media/youtoob are crying non stop about ..well..everything at this point.
