We have some major developments this afternoon. Donald Trump is, quote, desperate. He is desperate to end the war in Iran, and he thinks he can sell any end, any deal to his MAGA base, to those who voted for him, and sell it as a win. He's looking for any way to get out of this war, the war that he started, the war that has put the United States

in a worse off position today than we were two months ago, according to the Atlantic, he really,

really wants this done. And the reason why is because gas prices continue to soar. Affordability

is non-existent. And no matter what he tries, he continues to lose ground among voters. And he needs

the voters, because if he doesn't win in November, he will be a lame duck president facing

investigation after investigation, impeachment after impeachment. Like, comment, share, subscribe,

Right now, according to the Atlantic, President Trump really, really wants the war to end.

He is convinced that he can sell any sort of agreement as a win, according to his advisors and his aides,

and he's doing it because gas prices are soaring. The price of an average

barrel gallon of gas, $4.55 on average today. That is up 52.7% since February 28th, the start of the

war. The average price of diesel, $5.66 a gallon, up $1.90. That's 50.50.5% increase. Airfare is up $30 since the start of the war 9%.

International airfare is up $326 on average for a ticket up 42% or so since the war began in Iran. And well, here's what the president

has to say when asked, why aren't you doing more?

You know why? Because I want to keep our country beautiful and safe. Beautiful also.

This place was a disgusting place. It was Washington Monument,

the Lincoln Memorial, and we had a terrible, I don't know, you probably don't see dirt,

but I do. And you walk down this pond. If you would have walked down,

they'll tell you better than anybody. They had to take 11 or 12 truckloads of garbage out of that

lake, out of that water. And it sat there for years like that. And that's not what our country's

about. Our country's about beauty, cleanliness, safety, great people, not a filthy capital.

It's such a stupid question, you asked.
