Vice President JD Vance just dropped some hard truths about globalization that the establishment doesn’t want you to hear. Speaking at the American Dynamism Summit, Vance exposed how our so-called leaders got it completely wrong when they shipped American jobs overseas. The crowd went dead silent as he laid out the brutal facts about how globalization has been a disaster for working Americans.
For decades, the elites told us that rich countries like America would handle the smart stuff while poor countries did the simple manufacturing. They said Americans who lost factory jobs could just learn to code or design products. But Vance revealed this was all a lie that hurt our great nation.
The truth is that countries doing our manufacturing got really good at designing things too. When we gave them our factories, we also gave them our secrets, our workers, and our knowledge. These foreign nations didn’t stay at the bottom like the globalists promised – they climbed up and started beating us at our own game.
Vance called cheap labor a dangerous drug that American companies got addicted to. Instead of innovating and creating better products, businesses took the easy way out by finding cheaper workers. This addiction to cheap labor made American companies lazy and killed our spirit of innovation.
Whether companies moved factories to cheap foreign countries or brought in cheap foreign workers here, the result was the same. American workers got crushed while productivity went down across the Western world. Every country that imported lots of cheap labor saw their productivity crash, and Vance says this is no accident.
The Vice President made it clear that globalization was designed to keep America on top while other countries stayed poor and dependent. But the plan backfired spectacularly because those other countries weren’t content to stay down. They used our own system against us and started squeezing us from both ends of the value chain.
This speech shows why Trump picked Vance as his running mate. While establishment politicians keep pushing the same failed globalist policies, Vance tells the truth about how these policies destroyed American manufacturing and innovation. He understands that cheap labor is the enemy of American greatness.
The silence in that room said everything. The elites know Vance is right, but they don’t want to admit their globalization experiment has been a total failure for American workers. It’s time to bring manufacturing back home and put America first again.
