Adam Kinzinger’s ‘Trump never makes mistakes’ taunt reveals even more Trump mistakes

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 21: House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol member Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) listens to testimony during a prime-time hearing in the Cannon House Office Building on July 21, 2022 in Washington, DC. The bipartisan committee, which has been gathering evidence on the January 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol, is presenting its findings in a series of televised hearings.

Vice President JD Vance took some time out of his day to defend President Donald Trump’s mysterious economic strategy. With the stock market in shambles, many disagreed with Vance’s sentiment.

“It’s bizarre to see all the limousine socialists screech desperately for dependence on Chinese supply chains and inflated equities,” said Vance on X. The Vice President was responding to those suspicious of President Trump’s tariffs. The president has repeatedly justified the need for tariffs because he believes other countries are “ripping off” the United States.

Former Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger mocked Vance’s tweet with his response. He wrote, “Always the plan to tank the economy, because Trump never makes mistakes.” Kinzinger also made fun of the notion that Trump and his allies are merely playing “67D chess.”

As per Vance’s defense, the health of the stock market doesn’t matter. It seems like a necessary sacrifice to make other countries buckle under the pressure of tariffs. Many replies under Vance’s tweet were not buying his reasoning. One X user wrote, “You are at the cusp of engineering a global downturn, which will harm American workers as well as stock prices.”

Another criticized Vance’s oversimplified tweet. They replied, “And it turns out that many of the people who have lost 20% of their 401ks aren’t commies?” 401k pension funds of retirees have significantly diminished following Trump’s sweeping tariffs. Some have reportedly lost tens of thousands of dollars in the wake of Trump’s attempt to start a trade war.

Regardless, it doesn’t seem as if China intends to surrender to the United States. China warned that they were ready for “any other type of war” and have hit United States imported goods with 125% tariffs.

Failed 6D Chess tactic

United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent seemed displeased with China’s aggressive response. “They have the most imbalanced economy in the history of the modern world, and I can tell you that this escalation is a loser for them,” he said. His strategy with the Trump administration seems to require global economic compliance to the United States—something that China is unwilling to yield to.
