JD Vance offers some cold comfort: "As much as we've gotta focus on gas prices down, the reality is overseas they're feeling it far worse than we do"

"When this comes to a close we are going to see prices come back down to reality cos that is what the president promised to do" How are they going to come down? Refineries are bombed. How are prices coming down? He also promised to NOT GO TO WAR. Why should ANYONE believe either of you? LIARS!

“Overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we do, “… and they’re pissed. It’s our fault. Trump bombed Iran without US or allied knowledge, or support, and Trump has no way to end it. The objective is unclear. They’re pissed.” MAGA!

Shit, remember when Kamala was running for office and got raked over the coals for explaining that as bad as the economy may have been at the time, (due to supply chain and other Covid problems) we were actually recovering far better than any other country??

What a POS. In terms of energy we are Neanderthals. Only reason renewals has been stomped down in the US is because they cant profit from free energy. We used to embrace progress, now it's lefty propaganda.

Don't forget Reagan removing the Solar Panels from the White House was birth of this Neanderthal reactionary thinking applied to Climate. "If it's perceived as a Liberal idea, we are against it."

They start a war that screws up the entire global economy, and now they're trying to pressure us into joining because it's hurting us and even seem to enjoy it. Maybe we should declare war on the Trump administration.

At this point as a Danish european I am hoping the fucking plague hits the US. Fucking shit hole “country”. The Only one in the world too fucking stupid to be a democracy. God damn it I hate you all now

JD: "See how we are disrupting and destroying stuff in Cuba with that blockade of ours! We can create our own reality!"

This is their entire world view. Making things worse for everyone but as long as their followers have it a little better than foreigners, the cult falls in line. MAGA is a race to the bottom in every way.

The alternative energy scams other countries rely on, make them worse off? It literally means they are LESS dependent on oil & are not hit as hard. Solar and wind are doing just fine, thank. You very much. All those poor suffering EV drivers never having to go to the pump. Breaking my heart.

"But take comfort: we are hurting our [former?] allies far more than ourselves!" Trump/Vance sure know how to make and keep friends for the USA.

Hmmm. There's a young, mayonnaise-white person in one of my classes who buys into all this stuff. She defines herself as "conservative libertarian" but sounds an awful lot like a MAGAx

Dude, we're getting gouged at the gas pump because of you. No one cares about countries they can't find on a map, where they don't know anyone, and have no ties to. Read the room, you fool.* *it might help if someone with charisma presented this argument - instead, they chose Vance

Now I feel so much better about high fuel prices, knowing that others have it worse. Good thing that we haven’t developed an alternate energy system because, J D says it’s bad.

Also they state the operation may end soon so cheaper prices but they haven’t even achieved the regime change the wanted. In fact a hardliner is in power now 🙃 Sooooo I’m struggling to see how the whole lower price thing happens

"the reality is overseas they're feeling it far worse than we do" Vance ALSO misses the fact of what he just said out loud.... ....why "America hating" is a global phenomenon all thanks to Trump and his sycophants

The reality is this is why smart countries are divesting from oil. The status who leaves you dependent on authoritarian monarchs and regimes in the least stable part of the world (those two things are related btw).

* on March 16, 2026, the 81-year-old strategist stated that he believes Trump is "not long for the presidency". Carville’s specific prediction was: "I'm telling you, I think he’s just going to quit next year by this time... I think he’s just going to f—ing walk away". *

He's wrong though. The countries that reduced their reliance on oil aren't hurting as much as the US. They may face rising costs for what oil they consume but they consume less. The US under Trump has gone all in on oil dependency. That's why we will be hurt more even if the price hike is lower.

The Trump admin can "fuck off over there, then fuck off over there further" Allies no longer trust or respect the USA, you reap what you sew and now we are all saying "no" to a war you started.

Guess what, JD. That's the same explanation the Biden administration gave to explain post covid inflation. All it did was to get the pissed off people to vote for trump's stinking ass.

Who benefits from this highly predictable rise in energy prices? Why, surprise, surprise, surprise, its Trump’s fossil fuel donors. Same folks who benefit from his attacks on climate change science, on EVs, on windmills, on fuel efficiency standards, on off-shore oil limits, etc., etc.

They're feeling far worse over your demented leader's unnecessary war he waged to escape Epstein accountability.

Funny this wasn't their response when Biden was in office and gas spiked to $5 because Russia invaded Ukraine. They all blamed Biden as of he had anything to do with the invasion. The difference is that these schmucks started this.

OMG... "Yeah son, as soon as my job lines up, we'll be going to Disneyland, just like I promised you. You gotta just buck up and trust me (Thought bubble: Even though I've never, ever come through for you and I'm gonna rely on the fact that you want to love your daddy to keep this scam going.")

Shut the fuck up couch fucker, unemployment, food, and inflation is out of control. No one cares about fucken oil prices, because you and dump screwed that up too. Green energy saves money you idiot. Good for nothing bastards.

Actually, by investing in renewables, you won't have to feel it far worse because you are not dependent on anyone... which is the real reason they do not want people investing in renewable energy resources.

The sad part is he thinks this is how leaders should talk and think, his shabby ego can’t comprehend or abide that empathy is real for some people Jfc I’m so tired of these selfish bigoted ghouls

America has fucked the global economy with dipshit brainless attempts at policy and war. However, there are people in the world suffering way worse from all this dumbfuckery by trump and his cadre of didn’t earn it, unquestionably unqualified boobies. So, take solace in knowing that.

Who's "they," JV Dunce?! If, by "they," you're referring to "innocent & uninvolved people across the globe, including our allies, unprepared for a sudden & illegal strike by U.S. & Israel on Iran in mid-negotiation with Iran over nuclear proliferation," why would we want to harm them? FFS.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” - Lyndon Johnson, describing Vance and the MAGA GOP

Also indicates their attitude to everything If others do well it's a problem Only happy if others do worse than they do No joy in other's success No "we can do this for the greater good" "If we go down we're dragging as many as possible with us" Sad, unhappy, dissatisfied, discontent adolescents
