America's most punchablle face: Trump's war "would hurt consumers, really the last of our concerns right now..."

[Miles Archer]

Kevin Hassett, who leads the Trump administration’s National Economic Council as its director, made the startling admission Tuesday that the economic harm inflicted on American consumers from the Iran war was “the last of our concerns right now” — a comment critics described as a gift for Democratic ad-makers ahead of the 2026 midterms.

“The U.S. economy is fundamentally sound, and if [the Iran war] were to be extended, it wouldn’t really disrupt the U.S. economy very much at all,” Hassett said, speaking with CNBC Tuesday.

“It would hurt consumers, and we’d have to think about – if that continued – what we would have to do about that, but that’s like, really the last of our concerns right now because we’re very confident that this thing is going ahead of schedule.”

1. "we'd have to think about...what we would have to do"

So the head of the National Economic Council hasn't yet "thought about" what to do if people can't afford food, gas, shelter, etc

We're in such good hands!
