Andy Beshear

My reaction is the president finally said something that was true.

He said he does not care about the financial situation of the American people.

And you know what?

The way he governs shows it.

The Trump economy is a failure.

The only failure that rivals the Trump economy is the Trump foreign policy.

You look at the imposition of tariffs.

Americans have paid 90% of them.

It's been a tax by the president that has made everything cost more.

His war with Iran, which he and he alone chose to go into, has skyrocketed the price of not just gasoline, but diesel, making everything more expensive.

Every good we ship across the country now costs more.

Going to see your family if you gotta take a plane trip costs a lot more.

uh he won't help uh to reduce the the price of housing through so many different levers he could pull why because he says we're not working hard enough and now he's telling us that our kids have too many toys but hey at least he said something true he doesn't care about the american people

it's absolutely right you know gas prices have skyrocketed but diesel is even more expensive in kentucky it is more than two dollars more expensive than it was a year ago that's the two dollar trump tax on every single gallon of diesel and you think that that's what our farm machinery runs on that's what so many of our trucks run on it's it's part of what powers the economy and it was all foreseeable

We've read reports that Donald Trump's own advisors, which I don't think are all that experienced, but even they were experienced enough to say Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz.

They could disrupt the flow of oil around the country.

It could cause skyrocketing prices for Americans.

And Donald Trump just dismissed it because he thinks his gut

is so incredible that he doesn't have to listen to anyone else.

He didn't even spend the time to learn how Iran is different than Venezuela and thought somehow the same thing would happen.
