Newly released messages appear to undercut vice-presidential nominee JD Vance’s claims that he had a change of heart about former President Donald Trump once he witnessed his achievements in office. In 2021, while campaigning for the US Senate seat he now holds, Vance asked people “not to judge me based on what I said” previously about the man he called, variously, a “cynical a**hole,” a “moral disaster,” a “total fraud,” an “idiot,” and “America’s Hitler.”

“I did say those critical things and I regret them, and I regret being wrong about the guy,” Vance said at the time, adding that he in fact voted for Trump in 2020. “I think he was a good president, I think he made a lot of good decisions for people, and I think he took a lot of flak.”

However, The Washington Post obtained direct messages Vance reportedly exchanged privately on Twitter, in which he slammed Trump — a man he later deemed “the best president of my lifetime,” for his myriad shortfalls as commander-in-chief. “Trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism (excepting a disjointed China policy),” Vance reportedly wrote in February 2020.

That June, Vance predicted Joe Biden would beat Trump in the upcoming election, according to another Twitter DM seen by the Post.“I think Trump will probably lose,” Vance wrote. He would soon go on to claim, falsely, that the election had been stolen from Trump by miscreant Democrats. In the same June 2020 exchange, Vance revealed that “Emperor Trump” had offered him a position in his administration, but that he turned it down.

1. Nothing Vance says has any meaning at all.

He is the emptiest of empty suits.

2. J.D. Vance Said Trump 'Failed to Deliver' in His First Presidential Term

This is what happens when you pick a running mate in order to get financial support from Vance's Tech Bro supporters.

Vice presidential hopeful Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) has already had to do damage control for public statements bashing his running mate, Donald Trump, throughout the 2016 election cycle, but new reporting indicated that Vance's dislike for the former president continued throughout Trump's time in the White House.

According to text messages obtained by The Washington Post, in 2020 - shortly before the end of Trump's time in office - Vance complained that "Trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism (excepting a disjointed China policy)."

In the conversation, Vance predicted that Trump would lose the 2020 election. "I think Trump will probably lose," he wrote in June of 2020.

The conversation took place via direct messages on X (then Twitter), with an individual granted anonymity by the Post who was described as a "social media acquaintance" of Vance's. In 2020, Trump's now VP-pick bragged that he had "already turned down my appointment from the emperor," referring to Trump. Vance did not clarify what position he had been offered, telling the recipient that he wasn't "going to say over Twitter messenger."
