President Donald J Trump has selected Ohio Senator JD Vance to be his Vice-Presidential running mate.
[Announcement via Truth Social]
Cliff Notes – On the upside JD Vance brings with him the full support of Silicon Valley and unites the various social media clans and venture capitalists (Musk, Ackerman, Thiel, etc.). This means a big boost to the financial position of the Trump campaign, support from half the banking community, and also the absence of internet protocols that would restrict or oppose his 2024 campaign platform.
Additionally, on a geopolitical level, Vance will be unlikely to interfere too much on the global peace initiative; that’s important. Also, Vance will likely not interfere too much with MAGAnomic policy other than oppose tariffs that align against the aforementioned Vance benefactors. JD Vance was heavily pushed by Donald Trump Jr.
On the downside the ‘never trust a Never-Trumper’ axiom was never more true than it is today. The IC-aligned DHS network behind JD Vance opens a Trump administration to the scorpions within the deepest part of the intelligence apparatus. We can easily predict the decade of 2030-2040 now that JD Vance has been selected. The IC silos will predictably go dormant now as things settle in with Vance, at least for a while. I’ll have much more on these granular aspects in days and weeks to come.
This selection also guarantees a prominent position for Vivek Ramaswamy in the cabinet.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to make the announcement of his 2024 Vice-President pick today. His running mate will be announced shortly.
This is one of the most consequential decisions of the 2024 campaign and the anticipation is extreme.
Everyone has their favorite, and there are many possibilities. We all watch together.
Big smiles.
Regardless of the selection, Trump 2024!
Jsut watching a little of the presser with Mayorkas above
and reporter sais Trump chose Vance what protection are you
providing him…so I guess that explains the government cars
at his house.. This was at the briefing taking place right now
your kitty is a beauty.
Thanks ours could almost be twins..
JD Vance is the vp pick. Its posted on Trumps truth social account.
Major DISAPPOINTMENT …………………………………………my enthusiasm just crashed
Like I said, take the opportunity to prepare, and get out of the cities. Real estate is crashing, banks are crashing. Buy some land and live in a tent if you have to. Build it up, and grow your own food.
Lost my 44 year old business last year and had hoped for a future revival. No soap.
LOL. jeez
Me too…
What a lousy choice.
President Trump signals his reasoning in his X announcement. He hopes Vance can flip PA, MI, WI, MN.
It’s Electoral College arithmetic.
How stupid.
Carson would’ve gotten him the whole country.
And Trump can get those states w/o anybody’s “help”.
You’re not much for thinking, are you?
sunnydaze = DEI Treeper
I can’t even put into words how disappointing this VP pick is.
I had hoped a bullet to the head would have made Trump someone he could trust 110%
But, it looks like Trump is trying to secure those key states to overwhelm the fraud.
Maybe Pence 2.0 will surprise us all? I won’t hold my breath.
Regardless, the only way I don’t vote for President Trump is if he calls me and tells me sit this one out.

Love that! Ditto!
Typically the VP deals with ceremonial issues. Pres. Trump can raise him right.
What a load of crap, he picked a fat Pence.
I am pissed.
that is funny,
you’ll get over it when you see JD on the campaign trail. He is GREAT!
I am surprised in a bad way! Earlier there was a statement that it was nobody whom the press had mentioned! ???
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-picks-jd-vance-running-mate
Sheeit.
Why would he do that?
Another Mike Pence.
Adds nothing to the ticket.
UGH.
my faith in Trumps knowledge has plummeted. Listening to your kids is ALWAYS not the right choice. Look at the mess Ivana left behind
FCK
…And the fake maga infiltrators are already twisting it
totally not suprised
JD Vance is Trumps bridge to the deep state and big tech via Thiel
JD Vance is the Minister of MAGA Big Tech
JD Vance is the Yale “corn” Mike Pence equivalent
Trump is doing deals like crazy right now to build a new administration; Wall Street, Big Tech (Silcon Valley + Wall Street), City of London, Vatican, Israel etc etc…
think mRNA and Operation Warpspeed
Hands folded in prayer that God directed this choice.
yes, let’s do that. I am hopeful and prayerful
President Trump’s focus is to win people over. He tolerates a wide variety of opinions. He has said himself that he brings people together. Agree with your comment and think it shows President Trump doing just this.
While Vance wouldn’t be my choice, and while I personally dislike him, it’s also true that I don’t know how to save this country.
Our job now is to support our leader in how he wants to do things. What it comes down to is President Trump is our best chance for survival and he needs all of us to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Even if we’d rather be in the foxhole with other people.
thank you for this post ms
You are correct that no one tells Trump what to do. So in that respect, this horrible VP is OK.
But, the bad part is all the damage a VP can do in the background (like Pence).
It’s all in gods hands now…
the wife—-Chilukuri is from San Diego, CA where she attended Mt. Carmel High School. She received her BA degree in history from Yale University in 2007 and an MPhil from the University of Cambridge in 2009, where she was a Gates Cambridge Scholar. Before entering law school, she taught American history as a Yale-China Teaching Fellow at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China.
I don’t subscribe to this “truth social” (is it an app?) and won’t believe this news until I hear Trump speak it on a video stream or something. Vance called Trump “America’s Hitler”, last time I checked. No way DJT is that stupid….
pull the covers back over your head and clutch your pearls – it will be ok skippy
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112792061935980928
Can’t see the whole post even when I go to the link.
TS is ridiculously cumbersome and impossible to see.
I can. It’s even easier to see than here, but I’m old.
JD Vance.
🥲
JD Vance
He picked Fat Pence
Great. We are fuct. It was fun while it lasted, Treehousers. Carry on with the doomsday prepping I guess.
Might as well chuck this device in the recycler and go back to 1991 tech wise like I was for 8 months prior to President Trump’s BS conviction. I love the guy but he picks Viper Vance. Laters.
Really? Carson is 72. Trump is thinking about the future of the party. Vance is young and will be ready to carry the torch for 2028.
There are plenty of better people than Vance who can do that in ’28.
yes. That is a good thought. I am gonna be hopeful. I am disappointed but your statement is right as well.
I try to stay optimistic things will go better but I havent stopped prepping because I trust none of them
You are so wrong!
Even if it is Vance, which I agree with Sundance’s assessment, PDJT has new, untapped capital after Saturday and there is a reason, good or bad, why he was chosen.
I crawl over glass, uphill both ways, to cast my vote for PDJT.
I’m voting for Trump, but I already feel sad for 2028. Prepare yourselves
Why be sad? Just because Trump picked Vance to be his VP doesn’t mean we have to support him in 2028.
Maybe this will give us a chance to evaluate Vance for ’28.
We talked about both Carson and Vance, hubs thinks Carson will be too old to run when DJT is done with his four years. We both liked Carson tho.
I’m happy with Vance, looked up his bio, impressive.
He’s owned by Peter Thiel
And on Faux, Karl Rove reminded everyone that in addition to PDJT’s endorsement, he (Rove) was affiliated with a PAC that raised 35 mil for Vance senate campaign. He’s a Bushie. I want to puke. Also his wife Usha is the child of Indian immigrants, also Yale grad, loves DEI, clerked for John Roberts, and was a Democrat until 2014.
Nor excited about this guy at all.
also a Gates Cambridge scholar – would be interesting to hear a debate w/ her and Kamala about their backgrounds. Patel & Vivik must be thrilled.
thank you for sharing. I do not know the guy. Lot’s to learn.
Vance does seem to check the box of “assassination insurance”.
TRUMP/VANCE 2024!!
I hope he holds a good spot for Ben Carson. HHS or Education
CABINET somewhere!
Surgeon General
Me, too…VP, is for the most part, window dressing, like the models on The Price is Right…the Cabinet and other appointee positions is where the power is.
Another Yale grad, JD Vance.
Nothing good when the Russell Trust gang is involved
I’ve said it before Yale is playing both sides of the coin…… to loot the Treasury and fund Private Public companies they control. I wouldn’t trust any Yale folks.
Vance
Ohio governor DeWine will make the pick to replace Senator Vance.
So RINO DeWine will pick a RINO replacement. 😠
I’ve read he might actually pick himself. Ugh
Yes, I heard the same thing today. Probably why he picked Vance. So we could hang on to a seat. Also from what I have read he is a highly decorated military man. Time will tell.
*Anybody* could mop the floor w/ the Cackler.
“DEI type choice”????
So now Rs are gonna label anybody who’s not a white man a “DEI choice”?
I know you can’t mean that. There are black people, women, etc who’d make a better choice than Vance.
Period.
Vance *is* the “DEI choice”. Gotta get a guy who’s as close to being a RINO as possible in there.
The RINO DEI instead of a straight up MAGA candidate.
let’s pray that we are wrong about Vance being CIA/deep state operative……
Skull & Bones.…..?
Yes. Praying.
I haven’t heard that! I did hear that Gen. Flynn was compromised and loyal to the deep, but I suppose it’s all in what you believe is the deep….I think it’s the Bushies.
He’s a Marine.
Please refrain from the “former” nonsense.
Trust God. Fear not.
thank you
Yes, my uncle, who fought in the Philippines, taught me at a young age in the 60’s that a Marine is always a Marine, forever, in life and death.
It’s heartening to educate those, like myself at that time, who aren’t educated about such things.
Vindman is military, so I’ve gotten past that all who served are to be admired/honored/praised/etc.
“More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.”
BREAKING: Donald Trump announces that Senator J.D. Vance is his VP pick.
Cont…
We can’t always get what we want. . .
I will hold on to the remaining words in that lyric.
Some times…
Yup, me too. Afterall, it is all in God’s hands. ✝️💗✝️
Amen!
To me this is an ice cold calculation about votes.
(I still have my 33 1/3 vinyl album. I always did like the music better than the lyrics.)
Well – math is math.
Can’t win without doing it properly.
Can’t do anything at all without winning.
Trump definitely needs to bring that song back to the Rally Playlist.
Vance. ugh.
Jagger is a total lefty Trudeau lover – no way MAGA get’s any stones cuts.
JD Vance MAGA!
That’s exactly the song that’s been playing in my head since this disappointing announcement.
What a kick in the teeth to the base.
Imagine a possible President Vance, and how he deals with the Deep State.
I called out Pence as a mistake immediately in 2016, and got lambasted then, too.
But we march on with PDJT. His plan for America and the world is a great one.
Yep.
i must admit to being very disappointed.
Once Penced, twice shy.
I was really hoping for a non uniparty outsider.
Ugh.
Relax Karen..
You can go pound sand.
Relax Karen – it’s your nap time.
That was rude.
You must be new here.
I have always believed Pence was a plant from Bush to spy on Trump.
JD Vance? I guess winning isn’t as important as I’d thought.
We’ll get them in 2028!!
Oh please.. I didn’t get my pick and I’m taking my ball home. Grow up!
Go away. We don’t need your sarcastic and obnoxiousness here.
Still making poor personnel choices.
Now more than ever we must unite behind our VSGPDJT and JD Vance.
Not uniting behind Vance
No
Vance it is.
Heaven help us, I hope he’s had a true conversion.
No chance
I think President Trump’s priority is electability in 2024. That’s the weak point in the chain. Not so 2028 at this point. Save the patient from cancer. Time to go to the gym later. Swerve to avoid the accident. Worry about the wheel alignment when we are still alive tomorrow.
There are a whole lot of people in the MAGA movement who are fixated on having a choice who is 1) young and 2) a fighter.
Vance is certainly young – and he plays a fighter on TV quite convincingly. Not enough data yet to be entirely sure about him, because conversions do happen. But those two characteristics are probably in the math that our VSG is mulling.
Because I have great trust in sundance’s judgment, my own will be withheld until Vance has actually proven himself – if he does. If.
Time will tell.
Today I’m reminded of this Dr Carson speech at The National Prayer Breakfast in 2013, with O sitting there. Interesting. And like SD says, no matter who PDJT picks, I’m for Trump! MAGA
https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/bencarsonprayerbreakfastspeech.htm
WHAT>???
Mike Lee just announced that he was casting all of Utahs votes for ” Trump AND his newly named running mate – JD Vance”
He really just said that.
MEH
Vance has tremendous potential in my estimation. Time will tell how he grows into it.
I just read the biography DJT posted. I’m ok with this. Nothing would stop me from voting for Trump anyway.
Does Ohio hold a special election? Or does the Governor pick?
Goveror DeWine (yuck) picks
Retired Magistrate here: Governor DeWine appoints; not good, we will get stuck with a RINO just like he is.
And the worst part is whoever DeWine picks will likely win reelection forever.
Governor fills the seat until next election, it is reported.
I’m with Sundance and not just because it’s SD.
I want the demon party destroyed and I think Dr. Carson could help with that. Part of destroying the demon party is destroying the stranglehold they have on minorities.
This isn’t an identity politics or DEI thing. Dr. Carson is very intelligent, honest, loyal and a man of faith, who happens to be black. Trump is already going to get more black male votes than probably any Repub since before I was born and Dr. Carson could possibly increase that to historical numbers and the chain will finally be broken.
I don’t trust Tim Scott. I totally trust Dr. Carson and the fact he’s not a career politician is only a positive.
I’m not sure Carson is mean enough for the job. I’ve felt that for a very long time. Time will tell if Vance is swamp.
A Yale graduate and a Lawyer.
Yeah, he sounds great. /s
I didn’t say I was happy about it. Only that Carson doesn’t have the required a-hole mindset that MAGA requires.
Dr Carson does not have the fire in his belly
Imagine how unstoppable he’d be if he’d chosen Tulsi.
Now think about that for the next four years.
No, thank you! Tulsi isn’t any better than Vance–maybe even worse!
Maybe? She’s a Bernie girl.
Didn’t Vance once say he was Never Trump? Or was that a bunch of hooey?
Only a heartbeat away from the Presidency …
Obviously he’s changed since this. How old was he here 17?
2015?
This is going to run 24/7 for 4 months…
Thanks for posting…incredibly disappointing. Keeping enemies close? Sigh
Fat Pence flipped to Maga
Yale F ing Law, it is always Yale. All the other Yale grads have been Cabal. Track records do not lie.
They have been playing both sides of the coin for decades. The Yale secret society controls both Govt’ agencies and the private sector counterparts that benefit from the policies.
well they switched from Rhodes scholars (Clintons) to Gates Cambridge scholars (Vance’s wide)
wife not wide
….As Vice President, J.D. will continue to fight for our Constitution, stand with our Troops, and will do everything he can to help me MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Congratulations to Senator J.D. Vance, his wife, Usha, who also graduated from Yale Law School, and their three beautiful children. MAGA2024!
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/112792060910716829
Local Cincinnati newsWLWT yesterday reported that security had been visibly beefed up at Vance’s home. Today, news covered 3 black limos leaving the property. Figured that’s PDJT’s pick.
Would love Ben Carson but don’t think he has the vision or grit.
Agree.
Don Jr.’s buddy.
I am disappointed.
Trump’s kids going to be his downfall. First Ivanka, now Junior.
Why can’t he take advice from the smart one?
That is why he is in charge of the family buisness
According to TruthSocial he picked JD Vance:
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112792061935980928
Ugh
I forgot how bad Trump is at this stuff.
Concern noted.
JD has been the best ohio Senator of my life. Now rino DeWine gets to stick us with another rino senator.
I read his book & he may be a Yale grad via the GI Bill but his roots are in Appalachia. You can take the man out of Appalachia…
He knows exactly how the country has been & is still being hollowed out through his own lives experience.
He did buy into the bs that PDJT was not serious about restoring America to the people & wouldn’t be able to do so, hence his Never Trump position but… I’m willing to practice “Trust but verify” on his conversion.
He was persuadeded to write his memoir by his professor, Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
I don’t know anything about JD Vance. I’ll have to learn.
As will many of us.
I think I’ll buy a copy of that there Hillbilly Elegy thingie.
Sad. I hope he proves me wrong.
Same here. Exact same feeling I had when Pence was chosen. Pence 2.0
At least when Pence was chosen , he *did* help win some votes over, from the panties in a twist over rhetoric people.
Vance won’t even win votes for Trump.
Actually he will – from the youth crowd in MAGA. Many there are gungho for him.
Just don’t put him in charge of the next virus task force.
Put him in charge of the government employee relocation task force.
UGH!!!!!
The Pence staffers were all the leakers.
Rinse & Repeat
Hoping for the best out of Vance we’ll see not my pick but I’m cautiously optimistic we can still MAGA🇺🇸
I don’t do truth social etc…am on Fox watching the roll call…they
mentioned JD, and they mentioned they have the count scheduled for Florida, to take Trump to victory and secure the nomination….not many more votes needed….a little more than 200…
As far as JD, we watch him like a squirrel on a tree branch, so we don’t get Pence’d again.
Precisely.
Vance..another HORRIBLE personnel decision by Trump. What are we going to do now.
Vote for Trump and pray we’re wrong about Vance.
We’re going to crawl over broken glass to swamp the vote for PDJT.
Pence 2.0
DISAPPOINTING!!!!
The UniParty that just tried to remove him from the planet, wins again.. sigh…
Retired Magistrate here: I think that President Trump picked J.D. Vance a long time ago. Like I previously said, he sees J.D. as a younger version of himself.
It will be interesting to see who DeWine sticks us with as J.D.’s senate replacement.
I agree with you.
Ive opined previously that Vance brings the fervor of the converted to the fight.
Just like Leo Terrel, Dave Horowitz, or Tammy Bruce…all leftist who finally woke up and became fervent conservatives.
If Vance’s conversion is real … and Trump and his inner circle by definition must think so … this could turn out very well.
Well….you are right about that.
“the fervor of the converted”, that is.
I hope you are right!!!!!!!!!
I agree, Marcia — I had a feeling for some time it might be Vance. Actually, despite all the naysaying here, Vance has been the best Ohio senator I can remember, and I’ve been impressed with how he’s done. But yes, dreading who DeWine picks. Hope it’s not Renacci or Dolan.
There clearly a lot of FAKE Trump supporters who frequent this site. They love him without question unless he does something they personally disagree with then they abandon ship like the pathetic weaklings and traitors they are. Vance will be a fine VP. He’s certainly no Pence, not even remotely close.
What are you talking about? I don’t see anyone claiming they will abandon Trump. We are disappointed in his VP pick, but that’s a far cry from abandonment.
Oh, read on, you’ll find at least two.
I understand the issues with Vance and will join the ranks of the Watchers on the Wall for danger signs.
But you couldn’t pay me a million not to stick with PDJT.
It’s not that we are fake Trump supporters 🙄
We are Uniparty HATERS!
J.D. Vance: The worst of all worlds.
We love you, President Trump, but your judgement on personnel decisions remains a huge issue.
The turtle still holding sway with Trump? Or is it Ivanka/Jared??
Really? The worst? Of all the people President Trump could have picked JD Vance is the WORST?
I second the really? Let’s make it a Seriously?
I offer for consideration: Marco Rubio.
Only for starters.
