Racists and losers: J.D. Vance and America’s stupid trade war
His rant about ‘Chinese peasants’ reflects his government’s frustration over blinking first in Trump’s high-stakes game of chicken with China
The thing about every ridiculous or outrageous public statement coming from US President Donald Trump and his cronies is how the world responds with a token bit of collective pearl-clutching and then moves on like nothing has happened until the next shocker.
That’s why it’s important to keep reminding everyone what kind of people are now, in their own words, “running the world” from the White House.
A case in point is the vile racism that US Vice-President J.D. Vance spewed recently while going on national television in a feeble attempt to defend the indefensible – his lord and master’s utterly stupid, totally pointless, and highly destructive trade war against China.
