What does JD Vance's criticism of Trump reveal about the economy?
Donald Trump was thrown under the bus by his own vice president, J.D. Vance, who shined a massive spotlight on just how disastrous Donald Trump's presidency is. So J.D. Vance took a tour across the country this past week, purportedly to defend Donald Trump's economic policies that are an utter disaster, to defend Donald Trump sending ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo to terrorize people in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and across this country. And then JD Vance took part in a March for Life event where he talked about completely banning women's access to reproductive rights. And it just made the country even more livid and pissed at Donald Trump and JD Vance than they already were. Heck, even Laura Loomer, one of Donald Trump's biggest cheerleaders,
said, why is the GOP and J.D. Vance pushing more abortion messaging in a midterm election year? Didn't they learn their lesson from 2018? Trump doesn't like when the GOP focuses on abortion. How many times does have to say this, Trump gets it, the GOP will blow the midterms, to which J.D. Vance responds, the president literally sent a video to the March for Life today and encouraged me to accept their invitation, which I was happy to do. And then Laura Loomer kept on attacking J.D. Vance and all of these other MAGA people kept attacking J.D. Vance. But earlier in the week, J.D. Vance visited Toledo, Ohio and then Minneapolis. When he was in Toledo, His message on the economy is, the economy is just like the Titanic, J.D.
Vance said. Hmm, I wonder what happened with the Titanic, J.D. J.D. says you can't just turn around the Titanic overnight. So I got it, J.D. The American economy is like the Titanic. That's your messaging going into the midterm. Watch J.D. throw Donald Trump under the bus right here. Let's play this clip.
This is something I want you to hear. The Democrats talk a lot about the affordability crisis in the United States of America. And yes, there is an affordability crisis, one created by Joe Biden's policies. You don't turn the Titanic around overnight. It takes time to fix what was broken. I said earlier that the...
And then when JD was speaking at the March for Life event, as it's called, JD Vance kind of repeated that message and said, the elephant in the room is that many of you think we're not doing things quick enough. Watch JD say that here as well, play this clip.
Now I must address an elephant in the room and I've heard the guy over here talking about it. A fear, a fear that some of you have that not enough progress has been made, that not enough has happened in the political arena, that we're not going fast enough, that our politics have failed to answer the clarion call to life that this march represents and that all of us, I believe, hold in our hearts. And I want you to know that I hear you and that I understand. There will inevitably be debates within this movement. We love each other. But we're going to have open conversations about how best to use our political system to advance life, how prudential we must be in the cause of advancing human life.
I think these are good, honest, and natural debates. And frankly, they're not just good for all of you. They help keep people like me honest. And that's an important thing.
And then when JD Vance was in Minnesota, he said, if we're trying to find sex offenders here with ICE and border patrol, why don't you just help us? JD Vance says, can you just tell us where the guy lives, where the pedo is, where the sex offender is, where the person covering up child sex trafficking is? To which everybody responded to JD and said, You may wanna check in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. You may wanna check out that area. You may just wanna try JD, just an opinion and see what's up. Watch JD say that. And again, this was just so utterly disastrous for Donald. Here, play this clip.
Types of cooperation that we need. Look, I don't need Tim Walls or Jacob Frey or anybody else to come out and say that they agree with JD Vance or Donald Trump on immigration. I just don't need that. What I do need them to do is empower their local officials to help our local or help our federal officials out in a way where this can be a little bit less chaotic and it can be a little bit more targeted.
