Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance, running against Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), says the nation’s ruling class is interested in preserving its “managed decline” of the United States by weakening former President Trump’s tariffs on China.
During an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily, Vance detailed how Washington, DC, lawmakers, bureaucrats, and corporate special interests have kept the U.S. in a “managed decline” for decades while profiting for themselves.
“I use this phrase a lot on the campaign trail, managed decline,” Vance said. “It feels sometimes like our leaders are just slowly allowing the country to slip into decline and sometimes it’s hard to see and I think right now it’s very obvious.”
“This highlights one of the reasons why we need an America First trade policy, an America First supply chain policy,” Vance continued. “We’re finding out the hard way with China — they make way too much of our stuff — when they shut down their entire economy, when they shut down the country as they’re doing right now, we become affected by that.”
“This is the problem with allowing other people, people who don’t really like you that much, to make all your stuff is they actually have you by the you-know-what when they decide to shut down their economy,” he said. “… this highlights why we have to make our own stuff in this country.”
Vance also called out President Joe Biden for suggesting that he may cut U.S. tariffs on China as well as the Republicans who have lobbied the president to do so.

“Biden and a lot of Republicans have talked about weakening the tariffs on China which is one of the reasons why you started to see under President Trump some of those companies, some of that manufacturing, some of that supplies, moving back closer to home,” Vance said.
“This to me is the economic question for the next 30 years of our country: Are we going to commit to being self-sufficient and making our own things or are we going to continue to allow our entire prosperity to be held hostage by countries like China?” he continued.
China First The Biden-McConnell Agenda.
Ohio Romney should know.
He and his hedge fund cronies shipped millions of jobs to China so he definitely knows how it’s done.
Vance has a foolproof ticket if he has the sense to use it. His democrat opponent Tim Ryan, a leftwing congressman, supported every single initiative of the Biden administration and he owns a piece of every crisis and problem we face today. It is up to Vance to call Ryan out on every vote, and not let him take the nonpartisan “we’re all Americans” tactic he has begun.
Ryan will try like hell to distance himself from Biden and pretend Biden doesn’t exist. Vance has to tie him to Biden with every vote, which the record will easily support.
I'm not sure who hates average Americans more? China or America's leftists and corporate elites?
Trump had things going in the right direction, so Xi played the Wuhan card, knowing the Democrats would not fail to let a crisis go to waste.
“ How did you go bankrupt?”
Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.

JD needs an image consultant. He will never win in Ohio with that thug beard. And, he should drop a few pounds.
JD, put up a photo of Rob Portman on the frig. That is what suburban Ohio moms want to vote for. Without them, you lose.
This nonsense started decades ago; it is just clear to a lot more people today (not just idled manufacturing and tech sector workers).
