13. A competent POTUS should be able to address Iran AND think of the Americanpeople

Fetterman is wrong. Period. The quote was played repeatedly in context. For a president to claim he doesn’t think of the American people financially, means he does not care what impact his actions have on them. For him to have not addressed the nation immediately upon starting this illegitimate war demonstrates his callous disregard for the burden he expects us to bear.

It appears both Fetterman and Trump are living in a different reality from the majority of Americans. I sincerely hope their circumstances change soon
