Reposted by JW WhileyThe Editorial Board @editorialboard.bsky.social · 10/10/20261. I think the president of the United States really believes "there's never been anybody" who deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than he does. He really believes he "settled eight wars." He really believes he stopped "the total obliteration of the world" by going to war with Iran. 48626138

JW Whiley @jwwhiley.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Definitely a misleading statement by Cruz, though technically not false. It did hit $5 during Biden's tenure as President, though not because of anything he did - as opposed to prices now, which are the direct result of Trumpian hubris. 010
