Trump reveals the pathetic reason he chose JD Vance

Convicted felon Donald Trump and his new running mate, Ohio senator and hillbilly profiteer JD Vance, sat down with Fox News’ Jesse Watters for their first tandem interview on Monday. Watters’ opening question: Why, out of all the bootlicking GOP hopefuls, did Trump choose Vance to be his running mate?

“We've always had a good chemistry,” Trump said, adding, “originally JD was probably not for me, but he didn't know me.” 

One might say that “probably not for me” is a bit of an understatement. Vance once argued that Trump has “dragged down our entire political conversation” and could be characterized as “America’s Hitler.”

But that’s all water under the proverbial bridge, Trump explained. 

“When we got to know each other, he [Vance] liked me, maybe more than anybody liked me.” This groveling loyalty is what the former president, who was just one disloyal minion away from creating a constitutional crisis on Jan. 6, 2021, found most appealing.
