But I wanted to point out, you know, Donald Trump makes a big deal about cheap gas.

Well, oil prices are now up about 20 percent since they hit the lows.

All the oil stocks are hitting 52 week highs.

They're indicating that oil prices are going to rise exponentially.

And I think the one thing the president's been hanging his hat on, cheap gas, is going to go away.

I think by the time the midterm elections roll around, we're going to be looking at $80 to $100 a barrel oil, and everything else is going to be a lot more expensive.

So the story that inflation is dead and buried is going to be completely gone.

And, you know, the box that the Republicans are going to be in, unfortunately, in the midterms is they're going to have be in the position of trying to lie to the public to convince them that a bad economy is good, whereas the Democrats are going to be able to be honest about how bad the economy is.

And they're just going to lie that they're going to fix it.

Well, his overall approval ratings are pretty weak.

I think...

Look, I think Trump voters really like Trump.

I think Trump is almost like a modern day folk hero at this point.

And I think, you know, the fact that, you know, he almost died.

Right.

You know, he survived that assassination attempt, I think, really, you know, raised his level in the eyes of the public to that kind of folk hero.

So I think that people who like the president just really like him.

You know, and they listen to him.

And there are things about Trump that I like.

Why do they like him?
