Trump Pitches Voters on the Economy Despite Iran ‘Diversion’

President Donald Trump sought to assuage voters’ fears about the cost of living despite higher energy prices stemming from his war in Iran at a rally to build support for his economic record ahead of November’s midterm elections.

“We had the best economy in the history of our country in my first term,” Trump said at an event in Las Vegas Thursday. “We’re blowing it away now. And despite our little diversion, despite our little diversion to the lovely country of Iran.”
