AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
President Trump referred to surging gas prices as a small "price to pay" for the U.S. war in Iran while speaking to a crowd of supporters Wednesday in North Carolina.
"It's a very inexpensive price to pay for what we've done. Remember that. It's a little more. Frankly, even if it was a lot more," Trump said at a rally for GOP Senate nominee Michael Whatley in Gastonia.
