    I think Vance would then flip on everything Trump failed at and refer to his historical ctions to say, “I was never about that”, appealing to a lot of short-term thinkers on the back of a large angry mob familiar with him and are looking to redeem their egos. And he seems to be kind of playing that. He can’t be too loud else he’ll lose favour, hence he’s been around a long time when most others are well and truly discarded by now.

      Vance is 100% a creature owned by Peter Thiel.

      Vance would try to Speedrun the remainder of Project 2025.

        Exactly this. It wasn’t Trump’s decision to run him as vice, and Peter Thiel put him there for a reason.

          Trump is the one who accepted Vance. Thiel has dozens of tech bros he probably put forward, but Vance was the least threatening to Trump.
