Vice President JD Vance took a break from praying for a lethal drone to hit its goal to serve Marines lunch at a base in Quantico, Virginia, on Wednesday. It was the least he might do after endangering navy servicemembers by collaborating in a catastrophically compromised textual content thread and discussing battle plans with the highest-ranking members of Donald Trump’s nationwide safety staff on an unsecure telephone app.
Oh, and he additionally obtained to shoot an enormous boy gun!
It was a curious sideshow for Trump’s unpopular sidekick because the leaked group textual content fiasco continues to worsen with each element that’s revealed. Vance can also be gearing as much as be a part of his spouse Usha on a visit to Greenland on Friday after officers there made it clear that nobody invited them.
The best-wing’s obsession with archaic and transparently fragile masculinity is nothing new. Whether or not it’s Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth musing about how “you can’t shoot values” or having an ageing skilled wrestler do a strip tease on the Republican Nationwide Conference, parading their shaky masculinity is at all times extra vital to Republican males than displaying actual energy of character.
Possibly Vance thinks that hiding his traditionally unlikeable face behind an enormous gun will increase his picture now that he’s enjoying third banana to Trump and his co-President Elon Musk. However it’s sure that his powerful man posturing and journey to Greenland provide a welcome escape as he reels from the publicity of his true ideas on Trump’s clumsy international coverage concepts.
This journey received’t ingratiate the Trump administration with Greenlanders who’re already livid over Donald Trump’s sudden and cussed insistence that Greenland be a part of america as a territory. Second girl Vance, who was initially set to make the journey by herself, has already needed to cancel a deliberate cease at Greenlandian enterprise Tupilak Journey.
“We do not want her visit, as we cannot accept the underlying agenda and will not be part of the press show that, quite, of course, comes with it,” the journey company posted on Fb.
Sadly for the Vances, a video of JD being patted on the again whereas he fires a machine gun is unlikely to curry favor with Greenland’s understandably cautious residents.
