JD Vance, once a critic of Donald Trump, has become one of his strongest allies. A lip-reading expert, Jeremy Freeman, claims Vance was heard telling House Speaker Mike Johnson that Trump’s adversaries would soon face a “full reckoning.” Vance’s remark, made just days after a heated meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky, left unclear who he was referring to,
Vance has also stirred controversy by calling Britain a “random country” and defending Trump from detractors, even blaming Biden’s rhetoric for a 2022 assassination attempt on Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s critics, like Senator Jeff Merkle, argue that his actions threaten the country’s institutions and working-class prosperity.
