He altered the name of New Mexico by removing "Mexico" and claimed that gas prices would drop below $2 once the United States "wins" against Iran, despite lacking any realistic mechanism to enforce such outcomes. These exaggerated threats and promises illustrate his conviction that they will satisfy his MAGA supporters, while simultaneously revealing a deep contempt for them.
