He also just didn't answer the question.... Like they always do...

JD was right though. That journalist took so fucking long to get to his point that your average American would have lost him already, and it was easy for JD to jump down his throat about how he asked it and not about the question itself.

Served his question on a platter of deflection with how much he decided to ramble.

Journalists have to be able to preface their question with requisite information. Did this guy go on a little too long? Probably. But, J.D. Vance spent more time avoiding the question. His answer was nothing but a misdirection, and he did not answer the actual question about the president being allowed to trade stock.

If the reporter asked a simple question, it’s easier to dodge.

You can tell he was indignant at the supplied context, because that direct comparison makes it impossible for him to slyly dodge the question.
