Donald Trump and J.D. Vance
Donald Trump and J.D. Vance
Donald Trump has officially picked J.D. Vance as his running mate.
Vance first came to national attention with his book “Hillbilly Elegy,” and wrote that Donald Trump is “America’s Hitler.” He is now the running mate for a man that he called “America’s Hitler.”
That’s because Vance is a man with no real core – he’ll do what he can to rubber stamp the agenda of a man he used to call “America’s Hitler.” Together, they’ll pass national abortion bans, cut taxes for Donald Trump and JD Vance’s rich friends, and let Donald Trump serve as a “dictator on day one.”
