There’s an elephant in the room that Donald Trump is rather awkwardly trying to get ahead of, and it just so happens to be his own vice president running mate pick.
J.D. Vance, a notoriously far-Right Ohio Republican Senator and now former President Donald Trump’s official 2024 running mate choice, currently serves as one of the biggest Trump fans inside Donald’s inner circle. However, Vance did not always feel this way about the man who’s now his boss.
Recently, we reported on the resurfaced revelations from Vance’s old Yale Law School roommate, in which the former friend came prepared with screenshot receipts that showed Vance trashing the same man he’s now trying to ride into the White House with.

Among those revelations was a variety of trash talk against Donald Trump, ranging from Vance referring to Donald as “America’s Hitler” to comparing Donald Trump to opioids, to openly admitting that he believed Trump’s multiple sexual assault accusers.
However, as Vance began to mount his own political career he, like so many others, quickly changed course and began to fall into the MAGA platform in an effort to get ahead as he launched his Senate campaign.
Now, with Vance potentially riding Donald’s coattails straight into one of the highest offices in this nation, Americans have had a lot of questions.
It seems Donald is now attempting to somehow get ahead of this awkward elephant in the room, as he openly addressed Vance’s past criticisms of him in a joint interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters and his running mate.
The sit-down featured Donald Trump attempting to explain the reasoning behind his choice of running mate while also attempting to address those old Vance attacks.
“We’ve always had a good chemistry,” Trump said of the Ohio senator. “And originally JD was probably not for me, but he didn’t know me. And then when we got to know each other he liked me, maybe more than anybody liked me. And he would stick up for me, and he would fight for the worker as much as I fight for the worker.”
“We just had an automatic chemistry,” the ex-president went on to awkwardly explain. “And I actually endorsed him in Ohio, for the Senate. And he ended up winning against a very tough field. Very tough field.”
