Donald Trump interrupted Fox News anchor Bret Baier after Baier pressed him about 'painfully high' gasoline prices as pump costs climbed. The exchange came amid rising fuel costs, with Iowa's average at $4.327 per gallon and GM CEO Mary Barra saying consumers are still buying cars and paying auto loans despite higher fuel expenses. The moment matters because energy costs are a pocketbook issue in battleground states and may sway voter sentiment while gas prices remain elevated.
