“Trump HUMILIATED!” Putin Rejects US Ceasefire & Houthis ATTACK Saudi Arabia
What was said
"Pier is what's happening is the ship is leaking. The MAGA ship is leaking and it's leaking votes fast. And one of the key reasons is because of diesel and it's because non-oled educated uh MAGA voters are very big into trucking and so they're consuming diesel."
Robert Pape argues that a reported Russia-linked diesel move is aimed at domestic politics rather than energy policy alone. He says diesel prices matter to parts of Trump’s base, including trucking-linked voters, and claims Trump wants to create the appearance of falling prices ahead of elections.
