JD Vance called Trump Hitler – to be a vice presidential candidate – Our Country

Trump announced it on the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

– I decided that Senator JD Vance from Ohio is the best person to be the vice president of the United States, Trump writes on his own social media Truth Social.

At 39 years old, Vance represents a completely different generation than the 78-year-old Trump and his opponent, the 81-year-old Joe Biden. Vance was elected senator in 2022, so he is relatively new to big politics.

Be a sharp critic

He previously served in the US Marines and studied at Ohio State University and Yale.

Vance, who comes from poor conditions north of Cincinnati in Ohio, became known for the first time when he published the book “Hillbilly Elegy” in 2016. It was made into a film in 2020, with Glenn Close among others in the cast.

When Trump became president in 2016, Vance was a harsh critic of Trump, whom he called an “idiot” and a “cultural hero”. Privately, he even called Trump “Hitler’s America”. But the relationship gradually changed, and Trump campaigned for Vance in 2022.

Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming told Reuters that Vance changed his mind about Trump because he saw “how much success Trump had as president.” Critics, on the other hand, believe that Vance is more concerned with expediency than politics. Some have said he has changed his stance on a number of issues to better align with Trump, particularly when it comes to his views on abortion.

Populism and isolation

– JD had a very successful business career in technology and finance, and in the election campaign he will now be very focused on the people he fought so hard for, the American workers and farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota and far beyond, writes Trump.

In addition, Trump and his advisers believe that Vance and the former president stand for many of the same policies. It is mainly due to the combination of economic restraint and isolation, writes Reuters.

Earlier on Monday, several media outlets wrote that Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum were told they would not be elected. Both were seen as hot candidates for office, along with Vance.

Some time later on Monday evening, Trump, who survived an assassination attempt at the weekend, was officially chosen as the Republican presidential candidate. It was also in 2016 and 2020, then with Mike Pence as a vice presidential candidate.
