The Gist
The author argues that Trump is right to accept higher gas prices as the cost of stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, while Biden was wrong to raise energy costs for climate change policies. He says voters should support Trump's approach because it addresses a real threat, unlike the exaggerated climate crisis.
