About eight years ago, the vice president of the United States JD Vance was a loud critic of the then presidential candidate “protectionist” business policy Donald Trump, especially his defense of the tariffs, and claimed that they only take automation and technological changes. JD Vance also publicly described the Republican entrepreneur as “idiot” and stated that he was “punishable”.
He even compared it privately with Adolf Hitler.
“I go back and forth between Thinking Trump is cynical and ***** E as Nixon, who would not be so bad or that he is an American Hitler,” he wrote a private collaborator on Facebook in 2016, Reuters reported.
Directly focused on Donald Trump’s business policy and said, “If you are concerned about US economic interest, focus more on automation/education than on trade protectionism.” In 2017, Vance said that the fighting for tariffs was “yesterday’s war”.

“Maybe you could (turn the clock) a little to the shop if we were at the age of 80. But we’ve lost the battle,” Vance Cnn said, adding, “The work is already gone.”
Now in 2024, from joining the Senate, JD Vance changed his attitude to Trump’s politicians and eventually became a strong supporter of tariffs – a shift that was inspired by Trump’s success, as he says.
They now claim that these measures are necessary to revitalize the US economy.

“Vice President Vance was crystal clear in his unwavering support for the revitalization of the US economy by bringing back production sites and holding middle class staff and because before he started a plant in the US, and that is why he was elected in public office in the first place,” Taylor van Kirk.
When Trump’s tariffs came into force, JD Vance tried to paint as a temporary pain, while the White House reduced the immediate effects of tariffs.

“I honestly thought it could be worse in the markets because it was a big crossing. You’ve seen a president who said earlier today, it’s like a patient who was very ill, we’ve done surgery and now it’s time to improve the patient. And that’s what we do,” Vance said.
The Vice President added: “We will have a developing stock market for a long time because we will reinvest in the United States,” Vance said.
