The New Apprentice - J.D. Vance's juggling act
Time|October 14, 2024
J.D. Vance looks annoyed. it's a tuesday afternoon in August, and we're sitting near the front of his campaign plane, flying from a rally in Michigan to a fundraiser in Tennessee. Across the aisle is his mother Bev, whose role in Vance's traumatic and disruptive childhood he chronicled in his best-selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. As flight attendants serve Chick-fil-A, Vance gripes about the ongoing controversy over his three-year-old comments complaining that the U.S.is being run by Democrats, corporate oligarchs, and childless cat ladies who don't really have a direct stake in the country's future. As with his boss, Vance's instincts are to punch back. I think it's a ridiculous thing to focus on, he says, instead of the underlying argument I was trying to make.

The New Apprentice - J.D. Vance's juggling act

J.D. Vance looks annoyed. it's a tuesday afternoon in August, and we're sitting near the front of his campaign plane, flying from a rally in Michigan to a fundraiser in Tennessee. Across the aisle is his mother Bev, whose role in Vance's traumatic and disruptive childhood he chronicled in his best-selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. As flight attendants serve Chick-fil-A, Vance gripes about the ongoing controversy over his three-year-old comments complaining that the U.S.is being run by Democrats, corporate oligarchs, and childless cat ladies who don't really have a direct stake in the country's future. As with his boss, Vance's instincts are to punch back. I think it's a ridiculous thing to focus on, he says, instead of the underlying argument I was trying to make.

Since being tapped by Donald Trump, Vance has been mired in a series of controversies like this. Some have been silly political attacks, like the baseless fabrication, spread widely on social media, that he committed a sexual act with a piece of furniture. Some have been cringey, like his response to white supremacists' attacking his wife, the daughter of Indian immigrants. (Obviously, she's not a white person, he replied, but I just, I love Usha.) Some have been substantive; he's disparaged the millions of Americans who don't have children. And some have had consequences: Vance's willingness to spread the debunked claim-shot down by both local officials and the state's Republican governor-that Haitian migrants in an Ohio city are eating people's pets resulted in bomb threats and the harassment of legal immigrants by right-wing extremists. Surveys show public opinion of Vance has fallen since his debut as Trump's VP.

The conflicts looming over 2025

WHEN DONALD TRUMP TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE AS President in January 2017, his first foreign policy priority was to get tough on China. The Trump 2.0 Administration will continue that work. But when he strides back into the Oval Office in January 2025, Trump will also become responsible for U.S. management of two dangerous wars, the kinds of hot foreign policy crises he was fortunate to avoid during his first term.
