J.D. Vance Can’t Explain Why Trump Threw Him Under the Bus in Debate
J.D. Vance is struggling to respond to Donald Trump’s debate claim that they’re not talking about a major election issue.
“Your running mate, J.D. Vance, has said that you would veto [an abortion ban] if it did come to your desk,” said ABC News anchor Linsey Davis, referring to Vance’s statement last month that Trump “explicitly” told him that he would veto a federal abortion ban.
“Well I didn’t discuss it with J.D., in all fairness. And I don’t mind if he has a certain view, but I don’t think he was speaking for me,” Trump said on the debate stage, before stumbling through the rest of his words. “We don’t have to discuss it.”
When JD Vance says that Trump "'explicitly' told him that he [Trump] would veto a federal abortion ban", I believe JD Vance. Whatever was happening in the room at the time, Trump thought that that statement would be most beneficial to him personally in that moment. When Trump said the opposite thing in the debate, it's because he thought that would be most beneficial to him personally in that moment.
The only thing that matters to Trump is what he thinks is best for him personally right now. Ethics are irrelevant. Legality is irrelevant. Continuity is irrelevant. Reality is irrelevant. He does not remember the past and he cannot conceive of the future. "Me, now" is the only thing that matters to him. There is no big picture. His entire universe is a singularity of "me, now."

Best summary of Trump I've read yet.
This is how he has always operated. People tend to forget.
I believe Trump when he said that he never discussed that with Vance.
It was actually John Barron!
That's right, baby! The Barron is back and more senile than ever and he's speaking exclusively to J.D. Vance.
^Good God, I fucking hate that this joke could be real^
In other words, this is classic strong narcissism.
I can explain it. Everyone is expendable to Donald Trump. This includes our country.
And his kids! Especially his kids!
Cause Trump is incapable of admitting fault. He wanted his supporters to kill his last VP because Pence recognized that America didn't want Trump.
Let’s not give Pence more credit than he deserves. Pence didn’t decline to support Trump out of a sense of duty or because he cares about Americans, but because Dan Quayle (!) told him he had no choice in the matter:
Over and over, Pence asked if there was anything he could do.
'Mike, you have no flexibility on this. None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away,' Quayle told him.
Pence pressed again.
‘You don't know the position I'm in,' he said, according to the authors.
'I do know the position you're in,' Quayle responded. 'I also know what the law is. You listen to the parliamentarian. That's all you do. You have no power.'
Donald Trump's response if asked:
"I've never met J.D. Vance. I don't know who he is. People tell me he's a fan, but I've never met him.
You mean J P Mandel?
Funny, did you catch the part where he projected that on Harris? He accused her of claiming to have never met Biden 😂
He’s just a volunteer coffee boy.
JD knew what he signed up for. It's being Trump's bitch and not certifying the election results.
He's the cushion for pushin in this election.
Seriously. How did he not understand that he's the gimp in this relationship? Trump is going to dominate and abuse him. How does he not understand that's what he signed up for?
He understands...he's a power bottom...he's ok with the role.
he would just lovea seat in the room where it happens
Has he met trump??
Honest question has he? I don't think I've seen a photo of them together
Yes, let me see if I still have the link
funny, everyone else can.
that piece of shit will park a bus on literally anyone that isnt named donald trump
I'm pretty sure Jr would end up under a bus just as fast as anyone else.
Two IQ pennies confused why they’re in a jar of nickels.
They aren't confused. They want the base to understand that Trump would definitely pass an abortion ban, but they don't want to say that outright so that they can keep a few more votes from people who aren't paying close attention.
What do they say about beware meeting your hero? Vance has finally met his hero - the real Donald Trump.
Maybe Vance should be a bit more discerning in who he idolizes. Though this is just a sample from a life of ill-advised life choices that stem from being an immoral, stupid sack of shit.
I don’t believe Vance idolizes him. I think Vance is in this for himself and has no shame.
Yep.
Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick Ohio Sen. JD Vance was once a fervent critic of the former president. In private messages, he wondered ahead of Trump’s election whether he was “America’s Hitler” and in 2017 said the then-president was a “moral disaster.” In public, he agreed Trump was a “total fraud” who didn’t care about regular people and called him “reprehensible.”

Vance was asking for it. U see the couch he was wearing????
Cuz that's what narcissists do! Its about meeeeeeee!

I think it's the eyeliner. Trump prefers a lighter shade.
