Governor J.B. Pritzker

It actually doesn't look like a deal.

It looks like, you know, the people have talked about the fact that gas prices and oil prices should be much higher than they are right now.

And one of the reasons is the traders, they call it the taco trade.

You know, the Trump always chickens out.

Right.

Because they know that at some point the direction of the stock market going down, the direction of oil going up, cost of everything going up as a result of Trump's war of choice will ultimately lead him to back out.

The problem, of course, is you can't easily back out of a war in the Middle East.

Presidents, many presidents for 50 years have known this, but not Donald Trump.

He got us into this thing and you can't just sort of like slowly back out of the saloon and hope that everything will go back to normal.

That's not what's going to happen.

So we'll see.

I mean, I'm glad that that oil prices are coming down today and that the stock market is doing better today.

But I just don't think that this is going to be as easy as Donald Trump would like it to be.

Exactly.

And by the way, whatever you may think about Joe Biden, costs were coming way down under Joe Biden in the last year.

But, you know, he lost the election.

Donald Trump said he was going to lower, he was going to eliminate inflation day one.

And you've seen exactly the opposite.

Everything, tariffs, right?

The cost of oil, gas prices, everything, everything has gone up.
