    He’s dumb as shit so probably doesn’t understand the question fully.

    Let’s hear how the MAGAt morons twist this around… Probably gonna say oh he meant toward the Democrats but not us, his loyal mushroom-fluffers.

      The way he answered the question, translated to English from dipshit, sounded to me like he was trying to say he likes where the number is and thinks it’s healthy for the economy; ie, downplaying fears.

      The actual response just comes off as completely out of touch though, which he is. It’s also something no sane politician would dream of saying under any circumstances.

      I too am looking forward to the ensuing mental gymnastics by the sycophants and pundits to try and spin this one. Frankly I don’t think it matters - Israel isn’t letting him pull out of the war, and staying in it will absolutely wreck the economy. I predict that once that pain extends to the oligarchs in any meaningful way, Trump will perish under mysterious circumstances explained away by old age and bad health. Then Vance can begin his run in earnest by trying to pump the brakes on Israeli colonization and land theft. Good luck to him I guess, he’s gonna need it.
