I believe Donald Trump has some serious “buyer’s remorse” over his handpicked running mate JD Vance. To dump him now would signal complete panic and chaos in the campaign. I believe that Trump liked what he saw in the young boot-licking politician who contorted himself and his views to be a “Donald Trump, Jr.” Speaking of Donald Trump, Jr., several reports reflect that Trump Sr., pushed his father to select Vance. (The rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the tree).
I know its early, but JD Vance is not polling as well as other Vice President candidates after their convention. JD Vance is younger than Trump, but he does not represent generation change. For example, in a 2021 interview Vance labeled women without biological children, including Kamala Harris, as “childless cat ladies” with “no direct stake” in America.” Let’s fast forward to 2024. Taylor Swift is childless and has cats. She also has approximately 280 million followers on Instagram, 32 million followers on TikTok, 95 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), and 105 million monthly listeners on Spotify. That’s one woman with a lot of influence. Now multiply her collective following and the other childless cat lovers and their friends and family who you’ve given an easy pass to dislike, if not despise you. Add actress Jennifer Aniston to that growing list of women. His comments were dumb and damaging and will continue to engulf him and cause chaos and kill the momentum of the Trump Train.
Vance seems like more of a media creation to me because of his bestselling book “Hillbilly Elegy.” Full disclosure, I haven’t read the entire book. I hope I’m not doing Vance a disservice when I say that what little I read seemed like a sociological experiment about the “white trash underclass.” I can understand the appeal and the draw of a young man raised by his grandparents to becoming a Marine, Yale Law School graduate and successful venture capitalist. That’s impressive and embodies the “American Dream.” Does that make Vance uniquely qualified to be the Ambassador who explains poor white people to rich white people and dispel the stereotypes about PWT (Poor White Trash)?
Trump will not dump him, but I believe he REALLY would like to get rid of him now. One reason Trump will not dump Vance is because it would make Trump look like the lifelong LOSER in anything major that he is. You can call Donald Trump a racist and a sexual predator and that would not faze him. If you call him a LOSER and he is publicly perceived as a LOSER, that keeps him awake at night.
Trump is a LOSER at heart, and he takes NO responsibility when things go wrong or fall apart. When he loses this election, it will be everyone else’s fault. This is the Donald Trump who bankrupted a casino. This is the Donald Trump who claimed he surrounds himself with only the best people. Most of those people have criminal records trying to be loyal to him and he left them out to dry.
Trump did not plan for Joe Biden to exit the race. He had no backup plan. Now he is the old man who is “buffering” and struggling cognitively. He will be exposed from this point on, by Kamala Harris, who publicly stated that she knows “his type,” because she has aggressively prosecuted criminals, con men and sex offenders. All she must do is to continue to make the case that Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Those swing voters and suburban moms who are undecided will come to their senses and pull the correct lever in the voting booth. Harris should also remind voters of Trump’s support for menstrual tracking by state law enforcement agencies as part of his battle against abortion rights. Trump also suggested that women in abusive marriages should not leave their husbands.
I can’t wait to see a Harris vs. Trump debate. Now that would be “MUST SEE TV.” Harris must be herself and lean on her skills like she was a District Attorney back in the courtroom. Demolish that felon with facts, because he has a long history of not being held accountable. Picture this: Trump standing behind the podium “buffering” with a blank look on his face as if he just realized that he left the house and forgot to turn off the stove.
This race for The White House is historic. 10 days ago, I had no energy for this race. Today, I’m energized and “all in.” See you at the finish line Madam President. Kamala Harris will make the case to the American people. She must talk about the future in a way that gives people a vision, hope and promise a better life for themselves and their children. Donald Trump is his own worst enemy. He has no depth. He can only speak of chaos and the past.
Donald Trump, the deranged and unhinged Emperor, has no substance or clothes. Kamala Harris is the right person at the right time to defeat Donald Trump in November. She’s not perfect, but she’s making better political decisions, and he will self-destruct for all to see. He is a LOSER and will be a LOSER in November!
