Schumer: Trump’s Comments About Not Caring About Americans’ Financial Situation ‘Make My Blood Boil’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Well, every day, Americans see headlines about rising prices. Just this week, 'The Economist' said, quote, 'America faces another grocery price shock,' unquote. CNN, 'America is in for yet another long spell of price pain.' PBS News, 'Iran war hits home as gasoline prices fuel significant U.S. inflation jump.' Trump will surely try to brush aside these reports of higher cost as 'fake news.' But Americans don't need to see the headlines to know we're in an affordability crisis. Americans feel the crushing weight of higher costs caused by Trump's disastrous war and failed economic policies every time they walk through the grocery aisle and step up to the gas pump. What Americans do not see is any sympathy, any support, any plan from Trump or congressional Republicans to lower costs. In fact, they see the opposite. The other day, Trump said, quote, 'I don't think about Americans financial situation. I don't think about anyone.' Trump's clueless comments make my blood boil. 'I don't think about anyone.' They make America's blood boil.”
