Description

Your gas, your groceries, your rent—this war is driving all of it up right now. Donald Trump’s war with Iran is driving a surge in prices across the U.S., from gas and food to housing and travel. Roland and the panel break down how billions in daily war spending and supply disruptions are pushing the economy toward a potential recession. The discussion connects rising costs directly to policy decisions, not coincidence. What’s unfolding is a widening economic squeeze hitting everyday Americans in real time. 🔥 War with Iran triggers rising prices across gas, food, and housing 🔥 Billions spent daily on war effort drive economic strain 🔥 Supply chain disruptions push costs higher across multiple sectors 🔥 Housing affordability crisis deepens as rates and costs increase 🔥 “This war with Iran… could very well drive us into a recession.” #Trump #IranWar #Inflation #HousingCrisis #Economy We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.
