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.

    Not only that, but the US can actually bludgeon the blow thanks to its economic advantages via so many foreign investors using its bond markets. An advantage that him and his team are destroying. Remember, they got “yippy” per Trump?

    Edit: fucking Apple devices lagging after the last update, which for some reason completely wrecked typing and autocorrect.
