Trump: 'I don't think about anybody' on Americans' finances

newsMay 12, 2026224,083

President Trump told reporters during a gaggle, 'I don't think about the American financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.' He added, 'That's all. That's the only thing,' framing foreign policy as his primary focus rather than domestic economic matters. The remark matters because the president's stated priorities signal where his administration will concentrate attention and resources, with consequences for inflation, household budgets, and policy debates.

“I don’t think about anyone.” No lies detected.

JoyousPanther93

If only there as an agreement that would have stopped them from producing nuclear materials without going to war over it. Oh well.

Matt Mosher64

Democrats will be stupid not to have this in campaign ads come fall.

gl00mbrd.bsky.social39

Well there ya have it folks!

Shola Hoon38

I’d rather have affordable gas and groceries

Innis Blue35

"I don't think about anybody" is one of the few honest things he's ever said

Middlerage17

And your Ballroom! 🤡 You for sure think about that!

Jason Wippich17

He does not care about the average American at all

Marc Airhart ❌👑16

Great messaging for the midterms, sir.

Worse than IRAQ Felon's Folly

THERE WAS NO BOMB jfc this is the Iraq war lying on steroids

@KeepItBlueDems.bsky.social11

Selfish bastard. He hates you, America.

dajohns77.bsky.social9

I don't think about anybody is probably one of the truest statements he's made.

Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot8

Bibi must have tapes with him and Ivanka.

The Question Maven8

Wait - didn’t we ‘obliterate’ their nukes last June?

Miranda Menopauzilla 🇳🇱🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈6

He could stop talking after "I don't think".

Celina6

Dems need to use his own words against him in all political ads now, through the midterms, and beyond

Judy4

He's telling the truth for once

Luke Edwards4

If that's his only goal I'll be he's really pissed at the guy who ripped up the deal that kept Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons.

A Stoic Gardener4

Complete disaster. I hold very little hope that the US can survive trump.

Jocelyn Fox4

Echoes of Iraq cannot have a weapon of mass destruction

donnayoungdc4

And will there be headlines that Trump said he doesn't think about anybody? Nope.

okguy.bsky.social4

He thinks if he yells, it will make sense to us.

What’s Dat4

That’s not all, he thinks about the Epstein Files

demosthenes1959.bsky.social4

Trump only thinks about one thing: HIMSELF

bcbradford.bsky.social4

He finally admits that he doesn’t think about the American people

Zeke’s kitchen appliances4

if you listen very hard, you can hear Mike Johnson's soul evaporate.

Bullpen_Beeswarm4

@democrats.org For the love of God!!! Make this an ad tonight!

gracelesslady76.bsky.social4

From the makers of "I don't really care, do you?"

Elliot Edelstein3

Fkn incompetent piece of shit

Mommy, a real person3

"I don't think about anybody" Finally a statement I believe

Jamie Barnett3

To reduce this to Iran having a nuclear weapon is a complete red herring—and an effective strategy. I wish the media would notice that they've only recently trotted it out. That's because they know it's gonna be bad. This is their "nuclear" option. So to speak.

CaptAirkat3

He means the only thing he cares about is his ego--he can't allow Iran to 'win' 'cause he'll look like the loser that he is.

Boardwalk Joe3

This rapist is one dumb mother fucker.

PGDubFan3

“I don’t think about anybody.” OBVIOUSLY, he only thinks about himself.

Paula Lovemore3

Of he don’t give a shit as long as he, Jr and Eric are making serious bank with their grubby little fingers in the DoD contracts.

Raisins3

Trump to all Americans- “sucks to be you”

diaperingdad.bsky.social3

Well, he thinks about that AND the ballroom, of course.

Aletheia S.R.3

He's so full of malarkey. He's right though about one thing, he doesn't think of anybody else, except himself. He's profiting from the made up, illegal war. That's all he cares about.

bobcrunkle.bsky.social3

Paging Democrats - another commercial gift to you from Dumb Donnie.

T-Fish🇨🇦🍁3

So the recession that America will soon be in will be all worth it. Iran wasn’t even close to having a nuclear arsenal and we’ve made a lot of money my friends and I over this war.

Chris B. 3

“Trump to Americans: Drop Dead”

April A. Taylor 🐈‍⬛🎃3

There was already a deal in place from Obama and he tossed it out. He could have kept Iran from having a nuclear weapon and kept things more affordable for Americans, and he chose not to. He’s the biggest moron in U.S. history.

Real Major PITA2

Incapable of empathy towards anyone. Why does he care about Iran? Because he knows he's losing and can't handle it. 8645-47

Katie Beveridge2

Yup. We know, you narcissistic douchebag.

stretch18.bsky.social2

What a MF. I knew that you never cared about this country or it's people. You have not only raped girls tRump is raping this country.

Mindhead2

Maybe think about this big boy bsky.app/profile/nyti...

macbears23.bsky.social2

Thank you for the campaign ad.

carljungfranz.bsky.social2

Trump is insane, and the Republican house & senate and MAGA cult will not admit it or can not see it which means the whole right wing conservative, religious right have lost their minds in blind faith ideology. But "they" will pay for "it", global economic crisis and world war. Madness.

donellgmab.bsky.social2

"I don't think about anybody " Truth!

Ernest Funkner2

I think what he meant to say is, "I don't think about anybody but myself."

Lauren Jones2

He’s finally telling the truth.

Carl Darwin2

Who pays his salary ?

Jocelyn Fox2

The truth accidentally fell out

Shortgirl21732

This better become a huge Dem talking point.

Whore Muse2

I think about one thing. We cannot release the Epstein files.

Squeaquy2

Can’t let Iran have something they didn’t have and weren’t working on until he tore up the agreement with them and attacked them. Fixed that for him. He wants to both destabilize SW Asia & crush the American economy into bite-sized morsels for his fellow billionaires. The war does both at once

Deb2

If it’s so important why didn’t he make it a priority in his first term? TBH I think he knows his days are numbered and he’s going to destroy as much as he can on his way out of this earthly plane.

Jobey2

Of course he doesn’t think about anyone but himself. I hope every complicit sob is voted out and he goes to jail where he belongs. Take back the money he has stolen and reestablish the depts he dismantled, Only in a pipe dream. F—k these people!!

emilfaber.bsky.social2

The chuckleheads think that Iran can bomb the United States?

StaceyinAustin2

Stupid sonofabitch. Why are his lips white? He is looking really unhealthy.

johnacuna09.bsky.social2

Yeah we knew that already… your obsession with gaudy vanity projects is your precious

Jason2

You know the senility has reached advanced stages when Trump says something actually true.

Hagen Patrick2

"I really don't care. Do you?"

Agatha Vile2

“I don’t think about anybody.” Finally he says the truth.

Kevo2

But we had to vote in Trump because Kamala would’ve sent you to war and have you paying more for a PS5. Oh wait

Ellen2

Then he should start to think about who ripped apart the agreement which was in place to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon - he will be surprised !

pwc1956.bsky.social2

Yep..he’s either bat shit crazy OR he has reasons to believe it doesn’t matter what the voters think…their wishes and rights no longer matter and have been usurped by the GOP, MSM, and the SC. And no, it’s not both. My money is on the latter. Anyone agree? Also ok to disagree…

Thalia ⭐🔫🧑⚔️2

Best thing we can do as opposition is to just let Trump be Trump.

BigMouth2

I can’t hear anything he says because of the volume of his clown makeup

ondb0.bsky.social2

Apparently he can't keep more than one thought in his orange head .. not surprising

Kyle Griffin
@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

Q: To what extent are Americans' financial situations motivating you to make a deal with Iran? TRUMP: "Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody."

EARNED MY SPURS: "THE THOUGHT POLICE ARE HERE" 🐎33

That's a sound bite to remember come election time

David Butterfield 🇨🇦27

Holy shit. He told the truth.

Mat10

The president of the United States does not give a shit about Americans who are going through a cost of living crisis off his actions. What a guy

Kelaoshi7

“I do t think about anybody” may be the most honest thing he’s ever said.

Mets Chief4

He wants Americans to start thinking they are just grateful to be alive

Ron Waxman3

Trump only cares about his financial position. He has never cared about anyone else in his life.

mentalstate.bsky.social3

He’s lying. He thinks about himself non-stop.

Karmageddon3

Well, that last sentence was the first truthful thing I've ever seen him say.

Colin2

I mean why not just say it out loud. It's not like anyone in a position of power will do or say anything about something like this. Mike Johnson will not have heard anything about it. Thune would just move on. And the media will just be like "eh, he could be Kamala, right?"

Shola Hoon2

Should be plastered by Dems in an ad immediately

B Gilmer2

Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. Only Iran can decide if they want a nuclear weapon or not. There is no concept of "can't" here since this involves a sovereign nation. They can only "agree" to not develop nuclear weapon capability. Which at anytime in the future they can 'tear up' that agreement.

knutethewhoople.bsky.social2

No kidding! His indifference to the rest of the human race is obvious

Yaya2

“I don’t think about anybody” is the truest thing he has ever said, y’all. But his cult still won’t care. There’s apparently about 30% of this country who would set themselves on fire if they were told doing so might hurt a minority or a woman.
