Baby, We Know EXACTLY Who Is Coming For J.D.
We have no clue what will happen in the next four years, and honestly given his age, we don’t even know if Trump will make a full four years (he seems viable but who knows what we don’t hear or see). As of right this second, I would assume most logical people expect that J.D. Vance will be the Republican front-runner in 2028. I am sure that was the main thought on both J.D. and Usha Vance’s minds during parts of a very long Monday.
Now, again, we know nothing about where the moral and political zeitgeist will go. I could see Vance win the Presidency in a rout, but I could also see him lose to a Democrat, and I could also see him get primary’ed on the right by a bunch of people.
See, if there is a Republican criticism of J.D. Vance, it’s pretty simple: he is not Trump and lacks the Trump energy and the delicate balance of being a bully and a victim at the same time. In other words, it’s very hard to imagine people charging the U.S. Capitol with “Vance” signs. He just doesn’t inspire the same in the base.
But you know who is biologically similar to Trump?
His son.
Now, I’d toss Eric out here — he seems like the left-behind one, like Trump prefers Lara to him. Barron wouldn’t be old enough to be President in four years, although he’s emerging as a star, ain’t he? Ivanka is running as far as possible from TrumpLand back to gated Miami, and Jared K. wants to make money and not deal with politics except when he has to.
But Don Jr. is all over the place politically, and has been by his dad’s side in all the elections.
Remember: Musk cannot run. He’s not a naturalized citizen.
So… in a twist worthy of The Bard, maybe Don Jr. comes in and stabs J.D. in the front and takes the 2028 nomination from him. The base would respond to the same name being on the signs, ya know? And Don Jr. is a little bit better at the grievance + “I alone can save you” game than Vance is — at least right now.
Plus, the way it’s looking with Kai’s YouTube channel, she might be a bonafide star in four years, including her time playing golf at University of Miami. That would be a nice Gen Z/Gen Alpha boost for her dad. Vance’s oldest kid will be about 12 in four years. He honestly shouldn’t even be on a phone yet.
I’m curious to see if this happens and the “Trump Dynasty” just keeps on going.
You see it?

1 个月Eh tu, Trumpus? I don't think Vance will succeed. This is a wild pendulum swing to the right after a wild pendulum swing to the left, and that means with today's media and the speed of information flow, all the good AND the bad of the US right will be on display for all to see. Eventually these law enforcement agencies who are feeling their oats again will beat down or shoot and kill an innocent person, or eventually one of these right wing lunatics who's obsessed with trans people will commit another atrocity like Matthew Shepard's murder, and it will trigger another swing back to the left in an election cycle. Maybe two. Vance in particular I think carries WAY too much baggage with some of the idiotic crap he's said in the past, like he and Charlie Kirk's plan to socially engineer more kids by taxing single people at higher rates. It's typical right wing hypocrisy: welfare encouraging more births is bad, tax breaks encouraging more births is good. Because reasons.

1 个月Interesting. If you listen to podcasts listen to the latest episode of The Rest is Politics US. They are predicting that Trump wants to start a dynasty to beat the Bushes and the Kennedys. Himself, then Don Jr and finally Barron further down the line.

1 个月Bill Clinton was in a Bush sandwich but then W was also expected to be in a Clinton sandwich, but Obama messed that up. So Hilary lost 8 years, but then was expected to run against another Bush, but they both got Trumped. Now Biden is in a Trump sandwich, but after that I wouldn't be surprised by more, mostly new candidates with old surnames. Maybe Chelsea Clinton vs Young Don Old? So far it looks to me like Barron will *eventually* have a better chance of winning than Don Jr, but both are a possibility. And eventually maybe young Master Musk?
