Trump Supporter Blames Obama for Iran War Trump Actually Started
A viral street interview captured exactly the kind of reasoning gymnastics it takes to still defend Trump on gas prices and Iran, and it did not disappoint.
When asked whether high gas prices worried her, one Trump supporter shrugged it off, saying “we’ve seen worse, haven’t we?” Asked directly if she blamed Trump for it, she pivoted immediately, saying she blamed what’s happening in “Ukraine, sorry, Iran,” seemingly not even tracking which conflict she meant.
The interviewer pointed out the obvious problem: Trump was the one who took the country to war with Iran. Her response left no room for confusion about where the logic was headed. “We know it’s Obama,” she said, blaming a president who left office years before this particular conflict even started.
It’s a small moment, but it captures something bigger. No matter what happens, gas prices climbing, a new war starting, the blame somehow always lands anywhere except on the person actually in charge right now.
