Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the Republican vice presidential nominee, center, walks through a walkway at the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, on July 16, 2024. “JD Vance once feared that Donald Trump might become “America’s Hitler.” Now he’s Trump’s running mate. But never mind that history. Trump and Vance have a lot of things, including this, in common: They’re both con men who despise their most avid supporters,” writes The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.
