Because I was predicting it.

And so were tens of millions of others.

The saving grace for the Manosphere podcasters is that they are wealthier than the average voter.

Remember, Trump decided we would sacrifice.

Not he.

I thought gas prices would go up even more.

Trump famously said when he invaded Iran, he decided that would be OK for you and for me.
