Trump Addresses Sky-Rocketing Gas Prices, Reveals 1 Thing He’ll Do to Fix Them After His ‘Little Detour’ in Iran | Donald Trump, Politics | Celebrity News and Gossip | Entertainment, Photos and Videos

Donald Trump offered a solution for sky-rocketing gas costs that are directly linked to his war in Iran.

The 79-year-old president has been bluntly unconcerned about rising gas prices since he started attacks on the Middle Eastern country in late February. He’s even gone as far as to label those concerned about paying more at the pump as “fools.”

Speaking to the press at the White House on Tuesday (March 31), Trump was asked directly about the price of gas hitting $4. He had another blunt response but also revealed the one thing he had to do in order to fix things.

“We were $4, yeah. And we have a country that’s not going to be throwing a nuclear weapon at us in six months,” Trump said, insisting that Americans concerned about gas prices are “also feeling a lot safer.”

He also insisted that the problem had an easy fix.

“All I have to do is leave Iran, and we’ll be doing that very soon. And they’ll come tumbling down,” the Republican said, also addressing the rising stock market.

He said that the market was going up because “we have a safe country.”

“We had to take a little detour because we had a mad man named Khamenei [Iran's former supreme leader, who was killed in the military strikes], who sadly is no longer with us. And we had regime change already. We knocked out one regime, and we knocked out the second. Now we have a group of people that are very different. They’re much more reasonable. I think much less radicalized. We have had regime change. We’re dealing with people that are much more rational, and it’s very amazing what we’ve done,” he said, again reiterating that the United States “had to make a little detour.”

Trump continued, saying, “So when the stock market broke all records just a few weeks ago … I said to the American people, ‘It’s time that we have to make a little detour because we have a mad man that wnats a nuclear weapon.’ ”

Despite just implying that Iran would have been a nuclear threat in six months, the president added, “And if we didn’t knock him out with a B2 bomber, we would have a nuclear weapon right now. It would have been used before this, before today.”

Asked for when Americans could expect him to leave Iran, he replied, “I would say within two weeks. Two weeks, maybe three.”

The leader also repeated his threat to longtime U.S. allies, implying that he would leave the Iran without securing the Strait of Hormuz and that they’d have to go and handle that on their own.
