JD Vance on the US economy: ‘You don’t turn the Titanic around overnight’

Donald Trump has been waddling and ranting through his campaign stops ahead of the midterm elections, but he’s obviously ancient and in very poor health. So they’ve been sending out JD Vance to “barnstorm” for MAGA Republicans. The problem? The Trump-Vance administration is historically unpopular and they have literally no coherent message for the midterms. What can they really say? “More of the same?” Add to that, Vance is rizzless – he is NOT the midterm closer, you know? So during a stop in Toledo, Ohio (his “home state”), Vance tried out a new message: the Trump-Vance economy is like the Titanic. Here’s the full quote: “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.”

Blaming the Trump-Vance economy on Joe Biden is wildly stupid, especially given that Biden managed to pull off the impossible post-pandemic: he increased job growth, he kept gas prices stable and managed to decrease inflation over the course of his term. The Biden economy wasn’t perfect, but it was a billion times better than the Trump-Vance economy. But thanks to this rancid Cabbage Patch doll, we now know that he and Donald Trump think of the American economy in Titanic terms. You know, the ship which famously did NOT turn around. The ship which sank into the icy sea.

    There are enough stupid people in this country that will still vote for Republicans. Inflation, job loss and lack of jobs creation, elimination/reduction of safety net programs, fuel prices, housing crisis, student debt, rising healthcare, it will get WORSE in 2027. And IF the Democrats can win back the house/Senate, a lot of the vile contemptible BBB provisions will still be in play, e.g. healthcare insurance, Medicaid. I don’t faith in any Jeffries/Schumer leadership. I am voting Democrat all the way, but I am not hopeful. I am depressed and I feel for the American people. On another note, JD Vance is a loser, will always be a loser.

    How did this guy ever manage to graduate high school, much less get into Yale? General knowledge seems to have evaded him successfully…

    I don’t get the Dems though. All of them should remind the general public out there that it’s Felon47’s tariffs and the wars that Felon47 started that weakened the (world’s) economy and caused inflation, job loss, higher prices. And that the VP is an influential part of that admin.

      Because he’s not stupid. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

      He must have been an affirmative action case, all the way.

      He isn’t stupid, he is a liar who does what he needs to do for power. He is the essence of slimy politician, parroting whatever he thinks will keep him on the “winning” side. At least T*u*mp believes the crap he says. This one only believes in what will get him in the right rooms and keep him powerful.

      @Nanea: last time I checked (this morning!), the Dems are doing all that. You need a new source for news. Why do people always pivot to bashing Democrats when it’s Republicans who have caused every second of this nightmare?

    You don’t. You sink it, and make sure all the captains go down with the ship

    Biden’s policies did not place our gas prices at unaffordable levels with no sign of coming down. Trump starting a whole ass war to distract from him being a pdf file did.

    Dude, you’re the iceberg.
