The first part of the job is done. America elected Donald Trump as the 47th President, completing the most incredible political comeback ever. After multiple impeachments, indictments, and assassination attempts, Donald Trump not only rose from the Washington scrapyard but delivered a mandate given to him by the American voters. At this time, it looks like a trifecta win for Trump as the Republicans have sent Chuck Schumer to the showers and are very close to securing the House. Trump’s victory was a landslide of electoral votes, but he also won the popular vote, which has not happened in twenty years. Despite all the rhetoric and fear-mongering from the radical Left, American voters turned the map red except for the two progressive coasts. This is a win that denies questions.
One of the finest decisions Trump made was selecting JD Vance as his running mate. The selection of the vice presidential candidate was especially important this time because Trump will only have four years before retiring from office. JD Vance is in Political Graduate School and must be ready to lead the ticket in 2028. He has shown since named to the ticket that he is the right person for the job. He has a remarkable rags-to-riches story, served in the Marines right out of high school, and graduated from Ohio State in three years before getting his law degree from Yale. That is a plethora of achievements for a man who just turned 40.
JD Vance may have been under the radar as a Senator from Ohio, but he was front and center when he decimated Tim Walz in their debate. He is brilliant, has a complete grasp of the issues, is a great communicator, can think well on the fly, and is unflappable. Vance comes to the job with the perfect attitude. He knows his job is to do whatever President Trump needs, but he showed throughout the campaign that he not only says the right thing but is committed to every aspect of Trump’s agenda. They are on the same page from Day One. While typing this piece, Vance posted this perfect note on Truth Social.
JD Vance will be on a treadmill keeping up with Trump, but he has a rare opportunity to learn the job from someone who is not a politician. He is now the assistant to one of the most incredible business and organizational minds America has ever seen. A Dream Team will surround him that Trump is sure to name. There will be nothing WOKE about Trump’s administration. This group will have one goal: to work for every American and to Make America Great Again.
The stars have aligned. With a friendly Congress, getting his staff approved quickly, passing meaningful legislation, and possibly naming a Justice or two will be far easier. “Promises made and promises kept” is more than a catchphrase with Trump and Vance. It is a mission to work towards every day. Mark January 20 on your calendar, as that is the day we rebuild America.
