Trump says Vance doesn’t know him, ignores criticisms
Former President Donald Trump and Republican Senator JD Vance have come a long way from their past disagreements to now being seen as strong allies. In a recent interview, Trump expressed how Vance has become one of his biggest supporters, highlighting the chemistry and bond they share.
It wasn’t always smooth sailing between Vance and Trump, especially during the 2016 presidential campaign when Vance openly criticized Trump, labeling him as “cultural heroin” and expressing concerns about his leadership abilities. However, as time passed and Trump’s presidency unfolded, Vance’s perspective began to shift.
Despite his initial reservations, Vance admitted to being proven wrong about Trump, acknowledging the former president’s policies and decisions that positively impacted many people. Trump reciprocated this newfound admiration by endorsing Vance during his successful Senate campaign in 2022.
In a recent interview conducted by Jesse Watters, Trump commended Vance for his powerful memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” which shed light on the struggles faced by the White working class in America. Trump recognized the importance of Vance’s message and his dedication to advocating for the fair treatment of working men and women.
Their evolving relationship serves as a testament to the transformative power of understanding and respect in overcoming past disagreements. Trump’s endorsement of Vance and their shared commitment to supporting the working class underscore their united front in championing the needs of everyday Americans.
