唐纳德·特朗普总统周二在皮特-格林维尔机场举行集会后，北卡罗来纳州选民接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访，谈及油价、伊朗问题和国会控制权之争。
随着与伊朗的冲突推高油价，特朗普总统最忠实的支持者之一表示，只要能阻止德黑兰获得核武器，他们愿意在加油站多花钱——尽管中期选举只剩两周。
“如果你真的是一名优秀的美国人，你不会只考虑自己或是自己在汽油上花了多少钱。而是要想想你的子女、孙辈和曾孙辈将会过上怎样的生活，”一名选民周二晚间对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。
“他们长大后会面临什么？我们必须阻止伊朗那个政权拥有核武器。如果我们现在不采取行动，难道不值得每加仑多付一美元吗？”
福克斯新闻数字频道在特朗普周二于皮特-格林维尔机场的集会后采访了多名选民，话题涉及不断上涨的油价、即将到来的中期选举以及持续的美伊冲突——这场冲突推高了油价，也加剧了美国人的负担焦虑。

“自‘瞌睡乔’执政以来，情况没多大变化，”另一位当地选民肖娜在谈及前总统乔·拜登时对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，“至少物价方面……但特朗普已经在现有条件下尽了最大努力。要知道，他不是国会，能推动通过的法案有限。”
另一名集会参与者告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，阻止伊朗获得核武器，值得美国司机承担更高的油价成本。

“我们相信特朗普所说的话以及他所拥护的立场，”当地选民迈克尔对福克斯新闻数字频道说道，“如今有人说‘你们当初就是想把政客赶出华盛顿’……我们选了一名商人当总统。他从没声称自己是政客，他就是个商人。”
“即便油价因他在伊朗问题上的举措上涨，”他补充道，“在我看来，这也值得付出高昂的油价代价。为了阻止伊朗这样的国家拥有核能，我完全愿意接受。这是显而易见的道理，你懂的。现在油价会下跌吗？当然会。因为他的举措，油价肯定会回落。”
特朗普官员警告：伊朗在中期选举问题上“判断失误”，此前双方进行了3小时会谈

另一名特朗普支持者史蒂夫对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，尽管油价高企，他仍会鼓励其他美国人投票给共和党候选人。
“在这次选举结束前，除非出现奇迹，否则油价不可能降下来，”他说，“但我强烈敦促所有人都投票给共和党，就像这是你一生中最重要的选举一样去投票。因为在很多情况下，事实确实如此。”
特朗普一直坚称，持续的美伊冲突是维护国家安全值得付出的“小小代价”。
在11月3日中期选举前的最后几周里，总统一直在全国多地奔波，为支持者集会，助力共和党候选人，帮助共和党保住国会控制权。他此次北卡罗来纳之行的部分目的，是为共和党参议员候选人迈克尔·沃特利造势——沃特利的对手是前民主党州长罗伊·库珀。
Trump supporters confronted with painful gas prices deliver striking response: ‘I’ll take that any day’

Voters at the North Carolina event backed the president’s stance that the ongoing war with Iran is a ‘small price to pay’

North Carolina voters spoke to Fox News Digital about gas prices, Iran and control of Congress after President Donald Trump held a rally at Pitt-Greenville Airport on Tuesday.
As gas prices climb amid the conflict with Iran, some of President Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters say they’re willing to pay more at the pump if it means keeping Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon — even with the midterm elections just two weeks away.
“If you’re really a good American, you’ll be thinking not for yourself or how much you’re spending for gas. But what life is going to be like for your children, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren,” one voter told Fox News Digital on Tuesday evening.
“What will they grow up to? You have to keep those people in the political regime in Iran without a nuclear weapon. If we don’t do something now, isn’t that worth paying [another dollar a gallon]?”
Fox News Digital spoke with several voters following Trump’s Tuesday rally at Pitt-Greenville Airport about rising gas prices, the upcoming midterm elections and the ongoing war with Iran, which has sent oil prices surging and added to Americans’ affordability concerns.

“Things haven’t changed much since Sleepy Joe,” another local voter, Shauna, told Fox News Digital about former President Joe Biden. “At least prices. … But [Trump is] doing the best he can with what he has. Because, you know, he’s not Congress. He can only pass so much.”
Another rallygoer told Fox News Digital that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon was worth the cost of higher gas prices for American drivers.

“We believed in what he [Trump] was saying and what he stood for,” local voter Michael told Fox News Digital. “And you hear people today saying, ‘Y’all wanted to get politicians out of Washington.’ … We got a businessman in. [He] never claimed to be a politician. He’s a businessman.
“Even with the gas prices up for what he’s done in Iran,” he added. “To me [that] is worth the high gas prices. I’ll take that any day to stop a country like Iran and take that nuclear power away. That’s a no-brainer, you know. Now, will the gas prices come down? Absolutely. They will come down because of what he’s done.”

Another Trump supporter, Steve, told Fox News Digital he would encourage other Americans to vote for GOP candidates despite high prices.
“It would take an act of God to lower prices before this election is over,” he said. “But I highly stress to everybody to vote Republican like you are voting like it’s the most important election in your lifetime. Because in many instances, it actually is.”
Trump has maintained that the ongoing war with Iran is a “small price to pay” to keep the nation safe.
The president has been crisscrossing the country in the final weeks before the Nov. 3 midterm elections, rallying his supporters in an effort to boost Republican candidates and help the GOP retain control of Congress. His North Carolina stop was aimed in part at bolstering Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley, who is facing former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper.
