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 cannot even begin to parse how he thought any of those words were a good idea, let alone in that order.

    This is genuinely one of the dumbest things I have ever heard a human being say. Not only is it ludicrously, hilariously wrong, but even if it wasn’t, why would that be a good thing? Why would you want to proudly declare how much you fucked over your allies?! Does he know what the word “ally” means? Do any of them know?
