While speaking to reporters Tuesday President Donald Trump said that he doesn’t factor in Americans’ financial hardship to his diplomacy with Iran. Global energy prices have skyrocketed from damage done to refining capacity in both the Iran and Ukraine wars, as well as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz choking off energy exports from the Arabian Gulf.
“When you’re negotiating with Iran Mr. President, to what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal?” a reporter asked Trump.
“Not even a little bit,” Trump replied. “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.”
The reporter later asked the President “Did you say earlier that the only thing that matters to you when it comes to Iran is a nuclear weapon, you’re not considering the financial impact of this war on Americans?”
Trump replied that the stock market is at an all-time high, but that the most important thing is keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Note that with currency inflation the stock market will continue to rise in nominal terms.
Alex Jones Live has recently reported on how three-quarters of Americans see the cost of living as their biggest economic problem, how job market optimism among younger Americans has dropped to Great Recession levels and how the stagnating economy is creating an environment more permissive to a big brother prison planet takeover.
MassLive explained the economic impact perspective of the conflict in their video description:
Trump’s comments came as new Labor Department data showed Americans facing another sharp rise in consumer prices last month, fueled in part by higher gasoline costs tied to the war with Iran. The Labor Department’s consumer price index rose 3.8% from April 2025, the biggest jump in three years. Pressed about the financial strain Americans are facing, Trump argued the public overwhelmingly agrees with his position that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. “Every American understands,” Trump insisted. “They understand that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” Prices are rising at a time when Americans are already frustrated by the high cost of living. Affordability is likely to be a key issue when voters go to the polls Nov. 3 to determine whether President Donald Trump’s Republican Party maintains control of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
Since Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025 Alex Jones has been warning that if President Donald Trump gets into a war with Iran the economy would tank due to energy prices getting rocked by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

This is another very dishonest story on Trump. I am getting so disgusted with Infowars. Trump knows this will be short term pain for longterm gain. He is doing this to secure our economical future and to make sure Iran cannot economically blackmail the world with nukes and controlling the straight. He has Iran and China by the short hairs. Alex and Tucker and all the rest are going to eat their words and look very foolish.
I am starting to regret voting for Trump. I had not choice as Harris was worse. I am in no better shape than when Branden was in. I am fed up with this corrupt word where its hard to find anyone speaking the truth. Trump does not care about us. I have awaken to that fact. If he keeps this crap up he will go down as one of the worse corrupt politicians in history.
Trump will leave office very unpopular while insisting that all Americans love him.
I don’t think he will have to wait to leave office, IMO he gets more unpopular with each passing day/every time he opens his mouth
The Art of The Deal has turned into ‘The Art of Betrayal’
Trump made at least 2 ridiculous and embarrassing remarks today. He has gone bad, and he is never coming back.
At this point, I hope to see him destroy himself.
Trump’s obsession with Israel has to be due to corruption. He betrayed us.
Voted for the guy 3 times, but I do not know who this guy is now
When the dems impeach his a-s I will applaud it, he betrayed us BIG TIME
Trump is an AIPAC shill.
It’s like the Trump we elected has VANISHED. Where’d he go?
