Trump says higher gas prices stemming from war with Iran are "Very Inexpensive Price To Pay"

The Democratic National Committee issued a statement criticizing Donald Trump's remarks at a North Carolina rally the previous night, where he described the higher gasoline prices stemming from the war with Iran as a negligible cost. According to the committee's Sept. 18 release, Americans have paid roughly $107 billion more for fuel since the conflict began, which the DNC called deadly and expensive, and it accused Trump of minimizing the burden on drivers. The dispute centers on the economic fallout of the Iran war and how elevated fuel costs affect consumers.
