JD Vance has said Americans should comfort themselves with the fact that allies are "suffering more than we are" from soaring gas and oil prices.

The worst and most stupid bit is this:

Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”

He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”

Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.

    I’m pretty sure he thinks allies of the US are beta males that follow the US alpha male…

    Vance said Trump was “America’s Hitler”. Before Vance realized that he could get power by supporting Trump.

    You seem to be using “he thinks” in the sense “Vance genuinely believes”. I am not convinced Vance believes anything, his actions look like pure opportunism.

      The fact that Vance actually said that shows just how shitty of a person he is. If he recognizes the kind of person Trump is and still tries to use him to get into a position of power is scummy af.
