JD Vance Tells Paycheck-to-Paycheck Americans to Suck Up Tariffs Pain [View all]

JD Vance is telling Americans living paycheck to paycheck that the pain from President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs will all be worth it—at some point.

Trump’s rollout of the highest U.S. tariffs in a century has already inflicted damage on the U.S. economy—sending stocks plummeting and piling pressure on the dollar Thursday, and fueling fears of a looming global recession. Amid the chaos, his vice president used a Fox News appearance to deliver a message to anxious voters: In short, suck it up.

In a Fox & Friends interview Thursday morning, co-host Lawrence Jones claimed there are “a lot of MAGA folks” cheering Trump on, “especially when he takes it to other countries.”

“But I also know people that come from our background—they’re living paycheck to paycheck,” Jones said. “And they want to do the patriotic duty of taking it to these other countries. But it’s going to hit them a little bit, they feel.”
