Not a heck of a lot!': Top Trump adviser shamed​ for broken promise to public

A White House adviser was cut down during a live CNN interview after defending a promise about traffic and gas prices amid tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Economic adviser Kevin Hassett told anchor Jake Tapper that he was “bullish” there would be a “heck of a lot” of traffic moving daily and that conditions would “cruise to normalcy sometime really, really soon.” Tapper countered that Iran has instead presented demands for President Donald Trump to meet before reopening the strait, including lifting a naval blockade and sanctions, war reparations, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and ending attacks on allies. Hassett then conceded prices remain higher than desired.
