President Donald Trump blurted out a stunning dismissal of pain at the pump as his approval rating sinks, telling reporters, “This is peanuts,” and he doesn’t “even think about that.”

In one exchange, he praised CNN’s Harry Enten not long after Enten delivered a breathless report on a new round of sinking approval polls — all in the 30s.
