Don Jr’s Manic, Rambling Interview With J.D. Vance Spurs Calls For An Intervention

Donald Trump Jr’s bizarre, jittery interview with Republican Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance hit the internet Thursday, and it immediately started an online conversation about whether or not the disgraced ex-president’s oldest son is using drugs and in desperate need of an intervention.

In the interview, Don Jr. raged as he suggested that white women are no longer allowed to be executives in corporate America because “we have to check three or four boxes … if you’re a trans communist this, that, and the other, you too can be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company with no experience whatsoever!”

Junior also mocked warnings from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris that democracy is “literally at risk” when voters go to the polls later this year and whined that Biden and Harris pretend to be “moderate even though their policies aren’t.”

The video, which has been viewed over 28,000 times on Twitter and shared nearly 6,000 more, prompted commenters to suggest that Don Jr. needed to find the nearest rehab facility and check himself in immediately.

Political Expert Suggests Trump May Dump Vance In Desperate Effort To Boost His Poll Numbers

GOP vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance campaigned in Virginia on Monday, but his first solo campaign event since the 2024 Republican convention didn’t exactly go well, leading to massive online mockery for the Ohio senator.

The Associated Press reports that Vance began by attacking President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the White House.

“History will remember Joe Biden as not just a quitter, which he is, but as one of the worst presidents in the history of the United States of America. But my friends, Kamala Harris is a million times worse and everybody knows it. She signed up for every single one of Joe Biden’s failures, and she lied about his mental capacity to serve as president.”

Vance also took a bizarre detour into the world of diet soda, suggesting that his fondness for Diet Mountain Dew would likely get him branded a racist by Democrats.

“I had a Diet Mountain Dew yesterday, and one today — I’m sure they’re gonna call that racist too,” he remarked.

That odd non-sequitur led Mike Madrid, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, to suggest that Trump might dump Vance from the ticket and find someone who can give a decent campaign stump speech.

Others then joined the social media debate on Vance.

Rachel Maddow: Trump’s Choice Of J.D. Vance As Running Mate Is Already Backfiring On Him

Convicted and disgraced former president Donald Trump probably thought his choice of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate was a brilliant move, according to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, but it’s already backfiring on him and could cost him the election.

Trump picked Vance, Maddow explained, because he thought he would be running against President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race on Sunday. Donald thought he needed to shore up support from conservatives instead of reaching out to independent and undecided voters, she added.

“He wanted him for governing, not campaigning.”

“They picked J.D. Vance because they thought they had this election in the bag, and Joe Biden did this today, and now it is an absolutely different ball game.”

“J.D. Vance and Donald Trump are going to lose in November and Donald Trump is going to regret picking J.D. Vance as his running mate.”

Vance’s extreme positions on the issues of abortion, contraception, and no-fault divorce, Maddow noted, are not popular with the vast majority of Americans.

“Any Democrat who can talk about the kinds of issues where J.D. Vance has taken the kinds of stances … those are not 50/50 issues in this country. They are not 60/40. He is taking the kind of stances that single digits of Americans support.”

Maddow concluded her remarks with this: “You do not need any type of Democrat in particular to prosecute a case against J.D. Vance. He is a real weirdo from a really, really narrow slice of the far right side of the ideological doctrine.”

“They picked him because they didn’t think he would have to be defending himself at all. Because he thought he didn’t need to compete very hard to win, he picked J.D. Vance. He picked someone who’s not going to help him at all.”

Looks like Biden may have managed to completely screw up the GOP’s election strategy. And if we’re lucky, it’ll cost them big time when the votes are counted.

Pete Buttigieg Only Needs 2 Minutes To Expose J.D. Vance In This Viral Video

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg exposed Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance as a fraud and huckster Friday evening during an appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” and a video of his comments is going viral online.

Discussing why Silicon Valley high-tech executives are so eager to see Vance become VP, Buttigieg noted, “These are very rich men who have decided to back the Republican Party, that tends to do good things for very rich men. That’s kind of what you’re getting with J.D. [Vance], right?

Buttigieg then referenced past comments Vance made about failed former president Donald Trump in which he called the convicted felon an “opioid.”

“For somebody whose identity is that they’re connected to Appalachia, which has an opioid crisis, that really is the darkest thing you could possibly say about Donald Trump, at least in public. Behind the scenes, he was actually calling him ‘Hitler,’ right? Seriously!”

Much like former vice president Mike Pence, Buttigieg added, Vance is willing to compromise his values to achieve power.

“I watched [Pence] start out as an evangelical Christian who cared about rectitude and family values, and then get on board with a guy who was mixed up with a porn star, and make excuses for him. He got four glorious years, I guess, as vice president of the United States. And it ended on the West front of the U.S. Capitol with Trump supporters proposing that he be hanged for using the one shred of integrity he still had to stand up to an attempt to overthrow the government.”

“So I guess, maybe not as a politician but as a human being, what I’ll say is that I hope things work out a little bit better for J.D. Vance than they did for Pence,” he added.

There was a time when Republicans had brains and spines. But those days are long gone.

Vance’s RNC Acceptance Speech Went Over Like A ‘Wet Box Of Matches’ – Even Trump Looked Bored

It was the biggest speech of his life, but Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) left many in the audience at the 2024 Republican National Convention less than impressed, including convicted felon and failed former president Donald Trump, who appeared terminally bored as he watched his running mate tell his life story.

NBC News notes that Vance highlighted his troubled past, which includes a mother who was addicted to drugs.

“Mamaw raised me as my mother struggled with addiction,” Vance recalled. “Mamaw was in so many ways a woman of many contradictions. She loved the Lord, she was a woman of very deep Christian faith, but she also loved the f-word. I’m not kidding, she could make a sailor blush.”

“Our movement is about single moms like mine, who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up,” Vance said. “And I am proud to say that tonight my mom is here, 10 years clean and sober.”

But despite his homespun phrasing, many were less than impressed with what Vance had to say while others found it laughable that he claimed today’s GOP is a “big tent.”

And of course there was the predictable ass-kissing of his master.

 “They accused him of being a tyrant. They said he must be stopped at all costs. But how did he respond? He called for national unity, for national calm, literally right after an assassin nearly took his life. He remembered the victims of the terrible attack, especially the brave Corey Comperatore, who gave his life to protect his family. … And then President Trump flew to Milwaukee and got back to work.”

Well if it walks like a tyrant, talks like a tyrant, and acts like a tyrant, it sure as hell ain’t a duck, J.D.

Social media also weighed in on Vance’s speech.

Oh well, maybe J.D. will be more successful when he attempts to tell American women that he doesn’t want them to have any rights other than the right to be birthing vessels.
