@thejapantimes Imagine that this moron could become president if Trump should die. He's just as bad as Agent Orange. Maybe worse, because he's also a boot licker and remote controlled by Thiel.
@Brokar @thejapantimes rewatching some interviews with #Thiel I am wondering how he can control anything?
@thejapantimes @kkarhan hopefully this is the beginning of the end, sealed by a seditious couch fucker.
@RebelGeek99 @thejapantimes if it was my decision, he would've been barred from entry of EU airspace…

@thejapantimes

Trump: JD, go to Hungaria. Now!
Vance: Sir, with all due respect, I believe it’s called Hungary. And I think I’d be more useful here, what with the war and all.
Trump: No! And shut up about the war that isn’t even a war.
Vance: Yes sir. What should I wear?
Trump: We’ve talked about this, DJ. The shoes. Wear the shoes. That’ll get those Hunger people voting for President Orbit for sure.
