Vice President JD Vance just put the globalist establishment on notice—and it’s about time somebody did. In a recent interview, Vance laid out the blunt truth: for 40 years, the United States has been treated like the world’s piggy bank. Whether it was so-called allies or outright adversaries, countries have lined up to exploit America’s lopsided trade policies, while D.C. elites stood around fiddling with free-trade theory and collecting donor checks. But now? That gravy train is over—because President Trump is back in charge.
“For the first time in probably 40 years, we have an American president who’s saying, ‘No more,’” Vance said. And he’s absolutely right. Trump’s newly announced reciprocal tariffs are long overdue. The President rolled them out during a Rose Garden address, complete with a chart that laid it bare—how much other countries charge us to sell into their markets versus how little we charge them to sell into ours. Spoiler: We’ve been getting robbed blind.
This move isn’t just about economics—it’s about sovereignty. And Vance gets it. “That means more workers with good middle-class jobs. That means more self-sufficiency in the United States of America,” he said. Common sense to working Americans, but somehow rocket science to the foreign policy and economic “experts” who’ve spent decades selling out Main Street to make Davos happy.
Naturally, the usual suspects—globalists, lobbyists, and yes, even Mike Pence—rushed out to criticize Trump’s bold action. Funny how they never complain about China or Germany slapping tariffs on us, but when we fight back? Suddenly it’s economic heresy. Vance called out the hypocrisy: “If tariffs are so terrible, why do these countries keep on doing it? Why are they lobbying us not to retaliate?” Excellent question.
But it’s bigger than trade. Trump isn’t just resetting the economic playing field; he’s using American strength to shape global alliances that actually serve American interests. The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC)? It’s Trump’s answer to China’s predatory Belt and Road Initiative. And it’s already gaining traction. As Vance put it, this is “nationalism on display for the world”—and yes, that’s a good thing.
President Trump is done letting America get played. JD Vance is right there with him. The message is clear: this is a new era of economic patriotism. And for once, America is playing to win.
