A Pennsylvania woman who repeatedly voted for President Donald Trump recently blasted the president over rising gas prices.
“You are a worthless pile of s**t,” Amanda Robbins told NBC News when asked what she would like to say to Trump.

The long-time Trump supporter also criticized herself when asked how many times she had voted for him.
“Three times,” Robbins said. “That was my bad, apparently I’m an idiot.”
Other Trump voters in the swing state featured in the “Meet The Press NOW” segment were more accepting of higher gas prices and the president’s decision to attack Iran.
“I think it was a great decision. I think somebody else should’ve done it a couple of years ago, the last three other presidents,” Mike Purcell said.

“I think he’s doing the right thing,” Jim Matter said. “In the long run, it’s gonna help us out cause if they get nuclear weapons, we might not be here in a couple of years.”
“I think we gotta do what we gotta do to keep this country safe,” Kim Schaffner said. “So if it means paying a little bit more in gas right now, to keep everybody safe, then that’s what we gotta do. Eventually they’ll come back down.”
Crude oil prices have soared above $100 a barrel since Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world’s oil is transported, in response to the U.S. and Israel’s attacks.

The national gas price average is currently $3.79 a gallon, and in California, it is $5.54 a gallon, according to AAA. Trump has asked allied countries for assistance in opening the Strait, but so far, he has been rebuffed.
