JD Vance denied that Trump said he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations, but the internet brought receipts – 15 blunt takedowns
JD Vance had Donald Trump’s back, on Wednesday, when he faced reporters who had questions about why the President doesn’t think about the dire financial situation in which Americans find themselves, when he makes decisions about Iran.
Here’s his response.
Reporter: Do you agree with the President’s position that Americans' financial situations should not be a consideration?
Vance: I don’t think he said that. (He did). I think that's a misrepresentation of what the president said. pic.twitter.com/jZUAJXUFQV

“I don’t think the president said that. I think that’s a misrepresentation of what the president said.”
