Realized something tonight… noticed it awhile back…
The observation that President Trump frequently refers to his Vice President simply as "JD" rather than by his official title is accurate, and political analysts have widely noted this dynamic as part of a complex, sometimes tense relationship.While Donald Trump has a well-known, casual rhetorical style of using first names or nicknames for everyone around him, media reports and political commentators suggest his public treatment of Vance involves a mix of deliberate "hazing," political testing, and public pressure.1. Public Boundary Testing and "Hazing"Multiple political observers, including commentators like Rachel Maddow, have suggested that Trump occasionally uses public setups that appear designed to test or even humble his Vice President.The "Dream Team" Snub: In May 2026, during a White House Rose Garden dinner, Trump openly asked the crowd whether they preferred Vance or Senator Marco Rubio for the 2028 ticket. With Vance sitting just a few feet away, Trump called them a "dream team" but pointedly added to Vance's face, "That does not mean that you have my endorsement under any circumstance."The Successor Denial: Early in the administration, when asked by Fox News if he viewed Vance as his automatic successor for the 2028 nomination, Trump flatly replied, "No… I think we have a lot of very capable people."2. Policy Distancing and ScapegoatingThe rhetorical distance also manifests during high-stakes policy maneuvers, particularly regarding the ongoing peace negotiations with Iran.The Iran Talks: Trump initially claimed Vance would not be involved in the Middle East peace talks, only for Vance to ultimately lead the delegation to Switzerland.Pre-Deflecting Blame: Analysts noted that Trump openly signaled Vance was "philosophically a little bit different" on foreign policy. In June 2026, Trump went as far as publicly stating he would blame Vance if the Iran nuclear agreement fell apart, while presumably taking the credit if it succeeded.
***google rumors of JDVance… it filled in “resignation”
Now, wouldn’t that be crazy!
It’s not like everyone is humiliating “the guy that called Donald J Trump - Hitler” every chance they get! The dude’s lost so much weight from stress…
And the Iranian deal… ‘I’ll blame JD, if the deal falls apart”
