Kevin Dietsch/Getty ImagesPresident Donald Trump’s top economic adviser suggested Americans should try to “imagine” lower fuel prices instead of facing reality. Kevin Hassett, director of the president’s National Economic Council, appeared on CNBC Tuesday, where he offered the whimsical solution amid Trump’s war on Iran, which has continued to send prices surging.“Anyone who looks at a chart for energy prices will see that they’ve gone up quite a bit since the situation with Iran began,” Hassett, 64, began, before asserting that his 79-year-old boss was “confident” there would be a resolution.
