JD Vance was asked how he would go about fixing inflation caused by the Iran war and his answer was as familiar as it was infurating
As the “two week” “incursion” in Iran stretches on with no end in sight, Magas are finding it harder and harder to explain away. Particularly the part where Americans are getting hit in the wallets at the gas station, grocery store, and just about everywhere else they go.
JD Vance was pressed recently on what he plans to do about the skyrocketing inflation numbers his boss is inflicting on his supporters. His stock answer probably won’t put a lot of Americans at ease.
Reporter: What’s your message to Americans as the Iran war continues to impact the economy, especially after yesterday’s inflation report?
Vance: We inherited a very bad inflation crisis. pic.twitter.com/8ubRnv2TuR

Yes. Joe Biden. Of course.
Maga voters should be totally satiated with that response, as long as they ignore all of the tariffs, wars, and government funding cuts Donald Trump has pushed in just 16 (long, dreary, debilitating) months in office.
The replies were more than happy to point out the faulty logic Vance insists on pushing.

Is there an end date for you when y’all will cease blaming Biden?
This is the economy you inherited.

Complete BS as usual from Vance. Trump and Vance refuse to acknowledge what people are dealing with right now and refuse to admit that they are actively causing it with the war and tariffs. “But Biden” is all they got 16 months in. https://t.co/YS9zU9av7U

To work for Trump means – when things go bad, when you fuck up, when you make a mistake – you NEVER EVER accept responsibility for it and you NEVER EVER allow yourself to be held accountable for it. @JDVance does this better than most. https://t.co/uQeFtrIdVk

He knows we have all have access to the CPI report right? That was showings us a massive energy price spike in just the last month? Biden is not the reason the strait is closed and we are in a global supply shock! https://t.co/Uv2nCuMPh5 pic.twitter.com/drniu77niG
