Top GOP Donor: Trump Just Ended War As We Know It
I don't know what billionaire Republican donor John Catsimatidis has been smoking lately, but it must be some strong stuff. Catsimatidis, who is a the former mayoral candidate, radio host, and supermarket magnate, and who donated $515,000 Trump's 2020 presidential campaign and is also the CEO of a refining company, made an appearance on Maria Bartiromo's show on Fox Business Network this Friday, and wanted to assure all of her viewers that the "skirmish" with Iran isn't going to last very long before heaping praise on Dear Leader Trump and claiming he'd achieved "world peace" because he's had a dialog with China and Putin.
Here's the back and forth from FBN's Mornings with Maria where he also made the ridiculous assertion that the price of oil skyrocketing won't affect food prices:
BARTIROMO: You said these high oil prices and the pain at the pump will only be temporary. You agree with the administration. Give us your views on this war and its impact.
CATSIMATIDIS: Well, I think it is temporary. It's going to be 30 days initially, and maybe it'll stretch out to 45, 60 days, but that's about it.
And I've been told by many people, it says, how is it going to affect food prices? How is it going to affect? It has no real effect... the uh... I mean, don't forget, under the President Biden's administration, we had $90 oil for four years. Under President Trump, we have it for one month. So what's the big deal right now?
