President also dismissed low poll ratings as ‘fake numbers’ and deflected responsibility for Iran war in Time interview

Donald Trump deflected responsibility for misleading Americans about the length of the Iran war, dismissed low poll ratings as “fake numbers” and refused to rule out the possibility of declaring a state of emergency before the midterms, in a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine.

When confronted with questions about the length of the Iran war, the US president blamed the media for reporting his remarks in which he said the conflict was projected to last “four to five weeks”, in March.

“ … I think the press fed it to them,” Trump told Time when asked whether Americans misunderstood him.

    The red diesel is the big one tho, we need that shit to harvest crops here in a little bit, allowing it on road is going to burn thru the reserves that already wasn’t big enough.

    Red diesel is not some fancy fuel, it’s literally just diesel with red die in it.

      Buddy …

      It’s different because it’s tax free and for agriculture…

      We need that for agriculture, if we use it now what the fuck are we going to harvest crops with?

      I understand you couldn’t think of that yourself…

      But why the fuck wouldn’t you ask me what you weren’t able to get from the context of my comment?

      Edit:

      Someone else tried explaining this, and you just could grasp it…

      And most of your post history is you arguing with anyone who ever tries to help you understand anything.

      You’re just gonna have to stay wrong bro, eventually you’ll need a new account as well, because I’d bet a shit ton of other people have blocked you as well

        Yes that’s what I said

        We need that for agriculture, if we use it now what the fuck are we going to harvest crops with?

        LOL you just die more fuel red. Why is that so hard to understand? Why couldn’t you think of that yourself? Why can’t you grasp this?

      that is true, but it will still be needed to used to gather in all the autumn crops and plant the spring ones not too far away

        No. It isn’t. You just need diesel. If there’s not enough red diesel, you just get regular diesel and put red die in it.

          ok, but then that has extra tax attached (assuming, as I’m not in the US, that is like the UK where red diesel doesn’t have all the road tax attached.) Here in NZ it is all ‘white’ diesel and Road User Tax is separate

            Not correct. Putting in the red die is just an indicator of how it is taxed.

              the red die is to indicate untaxed, it will stain fuel filters on road vehicles to show that untaxed diesel has been used, at least that is how it us used elsewhere

                Yes that is what I said. Again, there is nothing special about it. You just get more die and make more red diesel. It’s all the same supply.
