Vice President J.D. Vance is preparing to run for President in 2028.
Vance is the likely successor to President Trump’s MAGA movement, which slaps a target on Vance’s back in the minds of the Trump-deranged press.
And the Fake News Media declared war on JD Vance by launching this unreal onslaught.
The Fake News Media Targets J.D. Vance
Trump-hating reporters know there is no coming back for a politician once they become a punchline.
Tens of millions of Americans still think Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house, even though Tina Fey uttered that line as part of a Saturday Night Live skit.
Kamala Harris’ word salads were so cringeworthy that the left-wing Daily Show even spoofed her in 2024.
The New York Times is adopting this tactic with Vance in a piece designed to make Americans think President Trump harbors doubts about Vance because anonymous sources claim Vance is awkward.
One anecdote from the story paints Vance as a restless child scolded by the teacher for spending meetings scrolling his phone, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles admonished Vance to get off social media.
“In meetings, Mr. Vance frequently scrolls his phone, and he uses social media to fight with his critics. The president frequently posts to Truth Social, but he does not spend time replying to people online, as Mr. Vance does.
Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, recently advised Mr. Vance to take a break from social media, as have other officials in the West Wing, according to people familiar with those interactions, because the fighting was beneath his office. (Mr. Vance said he took a break for Lent.),” The Times reported.
The Times Story Falls Apart
This was classic liberal media.
White House Communications Director Stephen Cheung blasted the Times for refusing to run the administration’s quote that this episode never happened and that the story was “complete fake news.”
“This isn’t true. We denied it to the New York Times, and they refused to run our quote. Complete fake news. This supposed ‘conversation’ never happened,” Cheung wrote on X.
The Times claimed it stood by the story, but never offered evidence to back up its reporting, nor did it explain why it refused to run the White House’s quote disputing that the conversation between Wiles and Vance took place.
“We’re confident in the accuracy of our reporting,” Times spokeswoman Danielle Rhoades Ha maintained.
Donald Trump Jr. went on the record to say his father constantly praises Vance’s media appearances, where Vance slices and dices anti-Trump reporters and their fake narratives, like the one in this story that Trump Jr. ripped the Times for trying to create.
“My father always brings up how JD is a savage and annihilates the fake news, like the made-up narrative of this story,” Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, said in a statement relayed through his spokesman. “Interviews, rallies, podcasts — he shows up and performs, and that’s what my father cares about.”
