Trump Transportation secretary Sean Duffy pleaded for “grace” for President Donald Trump Sunday as Americans continued to struggle with the high cost of living. Duffy appeared on ABC News’s This Week where Jonathan Karl asked if Americans should hold off on buying airline tickets now that oil prices are skyrocketing due to the Iran war.
United Airlines’s CEO said last week that he’s bracing for $175 a barrel for crude oil, which could make the cost of an airplane ticket prohibitive for average Americans.
“Well, we haven’t seen a significant spike in tickets because of this conflict,” Duffy said. “Now, Scott Kirby from United said he could see oil prices go up to $170. I think airlines do well when they plan for the worst and hope for the best. So, that’s what I think is happening there.” “But I think we have to offer the president grace,” Duffy said, continuing:
We know the president cares about the economy, gas prices for the American people. He’s talked about that frequently and often. He also cares about peace, and a lot of people don’t give him credit for that. But he’s proud of the conflicts that he resolves and he doesn’t want to see conflict. I hear him talk behind closed doors about the number of young men and women who are lost in battles around the world. He cares about that.

we'll be very thankful. Bless us O Lord. 
No? Well the RW's can fuck right off. 
such thing.
Have pity on the Der Furher Fuck face. 
O... that's right you all had NONE!
The corrupt billionaire media just beat a drum for four years about Biden's "dementia", high gas prices, and the high cost of food. Trump has never fixed or even addressed ANY of these things. It's just crickets from the media.
I am SO sick of Trump getting a pass for everything!!!!!! 
Fuck him and the rest of the ugly bag of mostly bullshit's admin!!
I don t remember asking you a goddamn thing, mutherfer!
I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
