Rick Scott: Trump protecting us from imaginary non-existent nuclear weapons makes high prices WORTH IT! USA! USA! USA!

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) joined Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on "Mornings with Maria," where she asked whether prices would decline ahead of the midterms. Prices have risen due to volatility injected into the oil market by the war. Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for 20% of the global energy trade, in retaliation for the war. Trump recently said during a national address that he is willing to end the conflict without reopening the Strait.

Scott told Bartiromo that his "heart goes out to" the people impacted by high food and oil costs resulting from the war.

"But the president is doing the right thing," Scott continued. "It is better to make sure we are not going to be destroyed by a nuclear weapon or ballistic missiles."

Cost of health care, inflation, gas prices, rising unemployment, garbage jobs market, and interest rates...

Yeah, nuclear bombs not even on the radar, but this fuck-stick never will care about Americans.
