At a time when America has an unstable, authoritarian oriented President, who often gives evidence of dementia, we are cursed with a Vice President, JD Vance, who does not engender confidence.
Instead, we have a Vice President who has made multiple inaccurate statements, and has demonstrated a lack of being able to be genuine in his interactions with news media and the general public.
Vance has also been a total sycophant to Trump, after having years ago called Trump a “Hitler”.
Now, it has been revealed that Vance used a Marine One Helicopter to take his young son to a golf lesson, an outrageous abuse of government costs, when he could have been taken by automobile to the appointment.
Also, Vance had claimed, during the Presidential campaign of 2024, that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, were eating pets, an outrageous lie.
Also, Vance has made the odd statement about his “wife’s kids”, as if he is not the father, but meanwhile decided to pursue his wife having a fourth child, as part of the promotion of increasing childbearing among women in America.
Also, in a sign of lack of respect of the fact that his wife, Usha Vance, is of Hindu faith and her parents were immigrants from India, Vance has said publicly that he hopes his wife will become a “good Christian”, after his own weird changes from an Evangelical Christian to an atheist, and now a Catholic.
Vance has incessantly lied on a multitude of matters, and the thought that he might well become President in this term is a horror.
There have been other controversial Vice Presidents, but their competency level was higher, with even Vice President Dan Quayle under President George H. W. Bush, by comparison, seemingly less objectionable than Vance.
The thought that Vance is a heartbeat away from the Presidency, and that there is a reasonable expectation that he might become President during this term is quite disturbing.
By comparison, former Vice President Mike Pence, from the first term of Donald Trump, looks so much better, and the prospect of a Vance Presidency is something unwelcome by intelligent observers.
