(Mr. Trump\u2019s endorsement got Mr. Vance over the finish line in a tight race for an Ohio Senate seat.) He has brought up the number of vacations Mr. Vance has taken as vice president. (Mr. Trump does not generally take them.)\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The president has also has repeatedly mentioned the vice president\u2019s initial opposition to starting Trump\u2019s wildly unpopular war with Iran and has even pointed this out in front of. Vance, saying \u201cI\u2019m more of a peace person than you are \u2014 but I had to do it,\u201d according to the Times. And Trump has also questioned his decision to send a delegation led by the vice president to an international negotiation \u2014 which ultimately failed to end Trump\u2019s war.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, says the Times, has \u201czeroed in on moments when Mr. Vance might not look the part,\u201d such as when Vance almost dropped Ohio State\u2019s national football championship trophy on a White House lawn. And Trump has \u201ccontinued to needle \u2026 Vance on matters of substance and style, from criticizing his shoes to ribbing him for his tendency to interject in conversations.\u201d Last November, Trump even openly mulled why Vance \u201cwas not more subservient, like the officials who work for President Xi Jinping of China,\u201d says the Times.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=737\">The smackdown of a very incompetent Trump lawyer is delicious<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy don\u2019t you behave like that?\u201d. Trump asked Vance during a breakfast for Republican senators. \u201cJD doesn\u2019t behave like that! JD butts into conversations! I want to have that for at least a couple of days. OK, JD?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump may not appear happy with the idea of a MAGA world with a hole where the aging Trump once stood. But neither, apparently, are critics eager for Vance to sidle into the encroaching Trump-shaped void as Trump hits 80 and routinely nods off at public events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky, who is widely seen as a likely 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, has repeatedly accused Mr. Vance, who was born in Middletown, Ohio, of overstating his blue-collar roots and misrepresenting himself as a product of Appalachia,\u201d reports the Times. In an interview, Beshear accused Vance of \u201cgoverning in a way that only hurts the places he claims he was from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJD Vance doesn\u2019t have a real bone in his body,\u201d said Beshear. \u201cLast week he\u2019s appointed the fraud czar, and this week he\u2019s defending a new $1.7 billion slush fund for the Trump administration to give to their allies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=735\">The Strange Case of Mark Niemoeller<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judging by interviews President Donald Trump doesn\u2019t sound eager to envision a world without him in charge, and he\u2019s slow to acknowledge up-and-coming lieutenants who are eager to take the reins.The New York Times reports that when confronted with the prospect of Vice President JD Vance as MAGA\u2019s ne&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
