Franklin D. Roosevelt-John Nance Garner

Donald Trump And His Two Vice Presidents: Horrible Mistreatment!

Ronald 48 Comments

Donald Trump is one of 10 Presidents who have had two Vice Presidents, while Franklin D. Roosevelt actually had THREE Vice Presidents in his 12 years and 39 days in the White House.

The list includes:

Thomas Jefferson—Aaron Burr and George Clinton

James Madison—George Clinton and Elbridge Gerry

Andrew Jackson—John C. Calhoun and Martin Van Buren

Abraham Lincoln—Hannibal Hamlin and Andrew Johnson

Ulysses S. Grant—Schuyler Colfax and Henry Wilson

Grover Cleveland—Thomas Hendricks and Adlai Stevenson I

William McKinley—Garret Hobart and Theodore Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt—John Nance Garner, Henry A. Wallace, and Harry Truman

Richard Nixon—Spiro Agnew and Gerald Ford

Donald Trump—Mike Pence and JD Vance

The relationships between these ten Presidents and their Vice Presidents was often difficult and controversial, particularly so with Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson; John C. Calhoun and Andrew Jackson; and John Nance Garner and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

But it is becoming clear that the relatonship between Mike Pence and Donald Trump was probably the worst imaginable, including Trump endangering Pence by inciting the January 6 US Capitol Insurrection, which included extremists mounting a noose to hang Pence if they had been able to reach him.

Additionally, it is clear that JD Vance has a nightmare scenario with Donald Trump, as he disagreed with the Iran War inception, and now is being used as a foil to be blamed if the supposed Memorandum of Understanding ending the war fails, as Trump has been undermining Vance since the day he took office as Trump’s second Vice President.

Vance is in a no win situation, as his boss, Donald Trump, is mercurial, and no one in their right mind would envy Vance being answerable to the unstable, corrupt, immoral President!

Historic Moment For Vice President To Turn Against President: Extremely Rare!

Former Vice President Mike Pence has FINALLY stopped being a sycophant to Donald Trump, after being obsequious to the former President since his selection to be Vice President in the Summer of 2016.

Pence has been weak all along, but finally said he did his constitutional duty by counting the Electoral College votes in the Presidential Election of 2020, a ceremonial duty, with no power to challenge the official vote count.

This IS an historic moment, for a Vice President to turn against the President, extremely rare!

The only public times were Aaron Burr against Thomas Jefferson in 1801, after Burr created a constitutional crisis over whether he or Jefferson was to be President, due to a so called “tie’ in electoral votes; and John C. Calhoun against both John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, the two Presidents he served as Vice President, over the issue of the protective tariff and states rights, secession, and nullification.

Also, but more veiled, not obvious publicly, Charles G. Dawes had disagreements with Calvin Coolidge: John Nance Garner broke with Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940 as he sought to succeed him; Al Gore separated himself from Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky Scandal as Gore ran for President in 2000; and Dick Cheney had growing disagreements and a growing breach with George W. Bush in Bush’s second term after 2005.

Also, more veiled was Thomas Marshall not being informed about Woodrow Wilson’s health after his stroke; Lyndon B. Johnson being mistreated by Robert F. Kennedy under John F. Kennedy’s Presidency; and Hubert Humphrey forced to support the Vietnam War under Johnson after 1965, later stated as a very difficult time for Humphrey.
