Here's Donald Trump's position on the role of the dollar as the reserve currency. It's a revealing point of contrast with another view inside his White House.

JD Vance wants to end the US dollar's position as a global reserve currency, because he thinks it allows Americans to consume too much and do so too cheaply. Keep that in mind the next time you order a $20 burrito on door dash.

JD Vance's supporters are predictably accusing me of misrepresenting him as a supporter of destabilizing and devaluing the dollar. The problem for them: Vance has made this same type of attack on the US reserve currency status several times.

JD Vance in 2021 on how he first met Tucker Carlson, how the two formed an instant intellectual kinship, and how he decided he was going to stay "loyal to the people who made me who I was" when Tucker came under fire. Really puts some perspective on more recent events...

In this new clip from 2023 a reporter asked JD Vance to explain his criticism of the dollar's reserve currency status. His answer: he thinks the dollar hampers our ability to build and export weapons and be "more of a positive force in the world" by sending them to Ukraine.

JD Vance in 2021: "The thing that we have to take away from the last ten years is that we really need to be really ruthless when it comes to the exercise of power."

Vance, in his own, words explaining why he's so loyal to Tucker Carlson despite the latter's descent into bigoted populist and conspiracist madness. He decided back in 2021 that he was going to stick with Tucker no matter what.

The rest of the 2023 interview. For those saying that JD Vance was not trashing the dollar's reserve status... Reporter: "Really? So we could benefit if [the dollar] is not the reserve currency?" Vance: "I think we could. I think our manufacturers could benefit quite a bit."
