JD Vance to Newsmax: 'Feeling Good' About Tariffs Despite Bad Day

Vice President J.D. Vance touted the implementation of tariffs despite Thursday's massive stock market sell-off, telling Newsmax the Trump administration is "feeling good" while also reassuring one midwestern GOP senator that American farmers are going to be among those who "reap the rewards" in the end.

Vance joined "Rob Schmitt Tonight" to react to the Dow Jones tumbling 1,679 points on Thursday in reaction to President Donald Trump's tariffs. Vance asserted that "one bad day" in the stock market is going to render a "booming market for a long time."

"We're feeling good. Look, I frankly thought in some ways it could be worse in the markets because this is a big transition. You saw the president said earlier today; it's like a patient who was very sick. We did the operation, and now it's time to make the patient better. And that's exactly what we're doing," Vance said.
