“No light” between Trump and Vance

“No light” between Trump and Vance

A key Trump insider today pushed back on reports that former President Donald Trump is upset about his choice of senator. JD Vance (R-OH) as GOP running mate.

“Actually, I don’t see any light between him and JD Vance,” Jessie Jane Duff, Executive Director of Veterans and Military Families for Trumptold Secrets.

“He’s been on the same page as Donald Trump,” the retiree said US Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant who has been a longtime Trump insider and adviser on veterans affairs.

In a story picked up on anti-Trump social media, including Drudge Reportthe Daily Mail said today that the former president is angry that he chose Vance as his No. 2.

The story quoted Trump-era White House official Anthony Scaramucci as saying, “He’s lighting people up on his campaign right now about electing Vance.”

Current Trump insiders mocked the outlet for citing Scaramucci, who was dumped after just less than two weeks as a top Trump communicator. While he has joined the crew of former Trump aides critical of the ex-president, he claimed, and the paper reported, that he has “close ties” to the inner circle, though it was not mentioned who he ties to.

Trump has heaped praise on Vance, who has been the campaign’s point person in criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Waltz (D-MN).

Vance has recently been part of the effort to call out Walz’s fabrication of his military rank and experience. He has been careful to praise Walz for serving in the military but critical of his excesses.

Duff will introduce Vance at the event that will also feature veterans Jim Banks (R-IN), Brian Mast (R-FL) and Michael Waltz (R-FL).
