Earlier this week, on the first night of the Republican National Convention, less than 48 hours after he was shot in the ear in a bona fide assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally, Donald Trump finally formally announced his pick for his VP running mate on his 2024 presidential election ticket.
As we’re all well aware now, Trump ultimately went with controversial far-Right Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance — the same guy who, over the years, has had less than loving things to say about the felony-convicted former president and now-confirmed 2024 Republican presidential nominee, including once referring to him as “America’s Hitler” in screenshot receipts that went public thanks to J.D.’s former Yale Law School roommate.
Last night, Vance finally took to the RNC stage to deliver his big speech, which was full of so much brown-nosing and ass-kissing, that we’re thinking he’s trying to make up for those pesky old Hitler comments.
However, there seems to be only one major consensus among those who managed to sit through the whole speech — Vance was boring as Hell.
It really looked like Vance tried super hard to energize and engage the crowd with endearing stories about his “mamaw” and fist pumps pulled straight from the Trump Playbook. But despite his best efforts, the monotone and monotonous VP candidate seemingly struggled to keep anyone’s attention — including his possible future boss’.

People across social media who caught the speech in real-time were quick to not only call out Vance’s dull and uninspiring speech itself but also took note that the big guy Donald Trump really didn’t look as though he were super impressed:
Vance’s speech falling flat. But I imagine Trump’s people insisted it be flat. No competition for the Big Guy.

That was a massive dud.

Trust me. Trump is not going to like having a running mate who is smarter and more articulate (or more utterly devoid of values and principles) than he is. This will end in tears.

Wet box of matches.
