JD Vance has very little experience in politics, and it shows. He was sworn in as a US Senator in 2023, and that’s his only elected office. He is so not ready. Bad, bad choice.

[Mildred-pjuk]

JD Vance is happiest when he is on his couch.

[sharonkellner]

He really was a terrible choice!! Good work trump!!

[nottiification]

When there is no joy or beauty in your life, the easiest way to cope with that is to take delight in ugliness and hatred instead.

[PJ-qonb]

Trump and Vance need each other as mutual survival mechanisms.

[Ted.Fart.Nugentt]

Many people say JD Vance couch got a restraining order, cuz JD don't take "NO" for an answer. So now he can't come within 500 yards of his couch.

JD Vance is a boring Disney like animatronic. He's just plain low energy. His laugh was fake; his anger is pitiful!

[chrisoneill]

Choosing J D Vance is a real kick in the teeth for the Evangelicals. They will eat that up.

[aletheiai]

Pettiness and transparent insincerity. Not a good look.

[judithelaine]

Hes stalking. Hes just plain weird. No supporters there only press

[friedhalloumi]

A new title to add to JD Vance's resume, plane stalker

[AirinTov]

He was given the softest softball question and a golden opportunity to humanize himself. And he gave the weirdest possible answer.

[williwfosselman]

Trump playing Golf and James Donald is in front of a microphone looking stupid.

[astridwhite]

Being happy and angry at the same time is a mark of psychopathy.

[couldnt_find_good_name]

Where is trump? Is it because he lacks the energy to campaign because he’s too old, or is he going to drop out?

[marcsondlucce]

Tell JD Vance to stop stalking, Kamala! He has a wife at home! CREEP!!

[bullonu]

And he makes fun of Kamala’s laugh 😂😂😂

[CyberBeep_kenshi]

no one is laughing vance... go debate Walz, then We will laugh 😂😂

[ltorres]

JD Vance stalking Harris and Walz on Tarmac, is the updated 2.0 version of Trump stalking Hillary Clinton on the debate stage.
Add “Creepy Stalker” to that “weird”.

[LogicAndReason]

JD is in a competition to be creepier than the butt-sniffing guy*.

* As Dave Barry would often say; "I'm not making this up."
