JD Vance only spelled out what happened with globalization. Yeah hindsight is 20/20. He ain't no genius because he acts like he knows how "globalists" got it wrong as if he knows how to do it right. How could the West get it right this time? Violating human rights. You can't escape it. These are the people who think just don't call it slavery and it then isn't slavery. They called it "involuntary servitude". Want a real example of this? Using and dealing crack cocaine carries are harsher penalty than if you use just cocaine to which crack cocaine is derivative. Why the difference? Because crack cocaine is more likely to be used in poor minority neighborhoods while cocaine is used more by white and rich people. Yes Westerners don't like hearing that in history China referred to Westerners as barbarians. Well they are barbarians by that way of thinking. The West has committed more human rights crimes than anyone else in the world and they don't think they were on the wrong side of history.

JD Vance has absolutely no public speaking skills... Whole speech was apologetic or impotent sounding. I doubt he can represent moderate republicans.


Trump announces 25% tariff on countries that buy Venezuelan oil and gas. As of April 2, a day President Trump has dubbed “Liberation Day” for the economy, countries that buy oil from Venezuela will have to pay an additional 25%

According to the WSJ the Trump administration is scaling back their April 2nd tariffs plan. Instead doing a “targeted” reciprocal levies. This is a sign of an administration that is severely divided on how to roll out the tariffs. Trumps bombastic posture on these tariffs are going to back fire. People won’t take his threats seriously. He can’t follow through with anything as his advisors are divided. So much for the “day of liberation.” He keeps saying tariffs is going to lead to a golden age and yet he keeps delay,delay,delay.
Edit: there is a tweet that explains the reason for the delays.
Donald Trump is weighing a two-step tariff plan: using emergency powers for immediate duties while longer trade investigations proceed. His goal is to fund tax cuts and strengthen legal backing for "reciprocal" tariffs.

He plans to announce tariffs on April 2, calling it “liberation day,” sparking global lobbying for exemptions. Trump promises “substantial” tariffs but may grant some countries breaks.

Options include using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act or Section 338 of the 1930 Tariff Act to impose tariffs up to 50%, or tariffs on car imports based on national security grounds. A faster but temporary measure, Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, is seen as unlikely.

The administration is split: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick pushes aggressive deals, while U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer favors legal processes and formal investigations.

Foreign countries are offering concessions, with the UK considering softer tech taxes and the EU meeting U.S. officials this week.

Trump’s trade actions have been unpredictable, with sweeping tariffs imposed and sometimes quickly reversed under pressure.

Next plan, remove all tariff.

"who like tariff, who ever thought tariff was a good idea must be an idiot. i know the best, i am the best, tariff should never been put in place. if I was president, we would never have tariff. I love free trade."
