Auburn Hills

Left panel: Text reads, “Vice President JD Vance visited Michigan this week to reassure manufacturing workers that everything is fine…”

Center panel: JD Vance stands at a podium with the vice presidential seal, sweating and gesturing nervously. He delivers a rambling, anxious speech: “It’s fine, okay? Everything is great and under control and and the war, er, conflict is over almost, right? I mean, gas prices—not our fault. And and and, you think they’re bad here? You should see what they are in places not here, oh boy! And our tari-, uh, tax policies are, um… jobs and wages, am I right? Canadians are mean. I am very relatable…”

Right panel: Text reads, “There will be no need for further reassurance… shut up and get back to work.”
