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.

    “We created an unnecessary serious problem, but it causes more grief for you than for us! So why don’t you come help us fix it (at our direction of course).”

    Gee, can’t guess why that might get some allies p.o.'d…

      Not mention they didn’t even tell them they were going to do it before they did it. Why should allies trust Trump’s America when they stabbed them in the back at every turn?
