J.D. Vance gave his first speech as a candidate for US Vice President on Wednesday (17).
“He’s tough, but he cares about people,” the current ally said of the former president. In the past, Vance has referred to Trump as an “American Hitler.” He later deleted all of his social media posts and joined the former president. In his speech, he referred to Trump as “a man I have known personally over the past few years.”
The vice candidate cited the shooting attack on Trump. Vance highlighted the gesture made by his running mate, who raised his fist to the crowd shortly after the shot hit his right ear. “They said he was a tyrant. He had to be stopped at any cost. What did he ask for? National unity. Right after an assassin tried to assassinate him,” he added.
“He didn’t need politics, but the country needed him,” he added. “Before he ran for president, he was one of the most successful businessmen in the world,” he said. “Instead, he chose to endure abuse and persecution.”
Trump’s vice president also criticized Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris. The Republican stressed that the Democrats have been in politics for too long, and that during the US presidency, they did not manage the country’s economy well.
