Until they give up their nukes or until they are so harmed that they cannot build nuclear weapons anymore, this fight is not over.

And he is not going to be deterred by the media focus on the economy.

Because what the president also understands is that the stock market continues to do really well.

The last employment report that came out this week was quite good.

And whatever is happening right now, economically speaking, because of the Iran war, is temporary because there will be an end to it.

The impatience that the media are showing is not real.

It is not because they are truly impatient about the economic situation of Americans.

It's because they wish for President Trump and America to lose the war.

And the way to make President Trump lose the war is to convince the Iranians to hold out.

And the way to convince the Iranians to hold out is if they believe President Trump is going to cave.

So in that quote, when the president says that he is not thinking about Americans' economic situations, he literally prefaces it and ends the statement by saying he is talking about Iran and nuclear weapons.

Of course, the president cares about the economy.

Of course, the president cares about inflation.

That is why he is pursuing a wide variety of economic measures ranging from the good, namely his attempts to deregulate AI and ensure that we have continued economic growth there,

to what I consider to be not the very good.

Things like, for example, regulations on home building.

But there is no doubt the president cares about the economy.

He's just saying over and over and over, as he should, that we will not be deterred from denuclearizing Iran by the economic situation here at home, which is precisely what he has to say.

Because when the president talks, there are lots of people listening, Americans and yes, Iranians.

And right now, the Iranians are being intransigent because they believe they can outlast the president and the president over and over and over again.
