Perhaps Donald Trump’s own face
tells you everything you need to know about what he’s thinking of
JD Vance. You know this? Well,
first of all, the context.
Remember context clusters?
And then the consistency. The context here was
this was just a couple days after Trump
had been the assassination attempt against him.
So here. And they also thought they were running against Biden.
So here you have JD Vance,
who spent a lot of his speech not talking about himself,
although he did tell his personal story,
but building up Trump again.
And so the positioning right away is.
I’m second. This has got to be the star,
and that’s. This is my alpha.
This is interesting. Of this dynamic right away.
Plus, don’t forget,
JD Vance is own values are in question
because he was for the longest time,
until just a few years ago,
anti Trump. And now he’s Trump.
So he’s still knew in that how do I define myself? Against.
Also an alpha, as you said,
who probably doesn’t want me to define myself too much.
So he’s a very uncomfortable speaker.
I think he did a flat
but well enough delivery in the context that it was then.
But his ongoing appearances have really faltered.
