JD Vance Says He's 'Feeling Good' About Market Mayhem: 'It Could Be Worse'

JD Vance Says He’s ‘Feeling Good’ About Market Mayhem: ‘It Could Be Worse’ (The Daily Beast)

JD Vance says he’s “feeling good” about the market chaos following President Trump’s tariff announcements because he thought “it could be worse.”

After Trump unveiled his sweeping “Liberation Day” tax plan, U.S. stocks lost about $3 trillion in market value Thursday—the largest one-day selloff since the COVID pandemic hit the U.S. in 2020. The selloff could yet get worse when the opening bell rings at the New York Stock Exchange on Friday.

According to the vice president, the administration sees no reason to worry.

Feels really good! Now I don't have to worry about what I would have done with it someday.

How about getting a team in the White House that actually knows how to grow economies?

This is not remotely going to just jump right back up. They have crippled the economy and they knew they were doing it...

They just gutted the American people and are smiling while they are doing it. Cruel and cold blooded monsters... the lot of em.

Because the panic isn't over and the corporate response to this has yet to begin.
