Actual quote: "I don't think Trump has anything to do with this. I think they are just doing this to make him look bad -- the liberals. Trump doesn't control the gas prices. I don't blame Trump." The script writes itself. Gas prices go up, Trump voters instantly shift to blaming an invisible conspiracy instead of checking a basic fact about how commodity markets work. It's not that Trump can or can't control prices. It's that asking why they spiked gets replaced with "someone's attacking him" before the question even lands. This is the operating system now: reality becomes irrelevant, blame becomes tribal.
