JD Vance will find himself under the proverbial bus in 3, 2, …
- petesergeant 6mo agoHe’s the one guy Trump can’t fire though
- ElProlactin 6mo agoHe doesn't want to fire him. He wants to scapegoat him and make him unelectable in 28.
- dh2022 6mo agoGenuinely interested: why not? Thanks!
- wat10000 6mo agoThe Vice President is an elected official just like the President. He doesn’t work for the President and he’s not subordinate, he just has almost no power. The only way to remove a VP is death or impeachment. I suppose the President could induce death, but that’s not really firing per se.
- padjo 6mo agoHe could literally throw him under a bus and not suffer any legal consequences. It's probably 50/50 whether or not senate Republican would vote to impeach him after that.

- Epa095 6mo agoBecause he is the elected vice president, he answers to the people, not the president.
- __patchbit__ 6mo agoSome say he answers to Pete Thiel
- freddydumont 6mo agoVP is an elected official, not appointed by the president. President could sideline him, but his role in the senate cannot be removed except by impeachment.
- general1465 6mo agoLike Trump would not write an executive order to fire JD Vance.
- cosmicgadget 6mo agoHe could write an executive order to bring back disco and it'd have the same effect.
- raincole 6mo agoWhy? You think Iran will assassinate him? Trump obviously didn't have high expectation about the agreement in the first place. The US has been sending more troops and ships to ME nonstop. They didn't go to Pakistan in good faith (neither did Iran, I guess.)
- dh2022 6mo agoBecause by not getting a deal he made Trump look bad - and Trump would thus fire him(in the US to throw someone under the bus means to assign blame and punish someone else)
- raincole 6mo agoBut Vance is the vice president and Trump can't fire him? He is not Secretary of State. And I really don't think Trump looks worse than before. If they reached an agreement that allows Iran to take tolls for all the tankers passing, that would look really bad.
- thrance 6mo agoActually, with Trump losing support in his own base, it's him they'll soon throw under the bus. I predict that Vance will run in 2028, by pretending that he was always against this war. Which is obviously a lie, but Republicans are used to that anyway.
