  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

The bigger issue as I see it is that Trump wants to rule by charisma first. I don't think Vance particularly gives a shit if people curse his name - meaning that, at the first sign of things getting out of hand, I think he's more willing to hit the "start killing protestors until the streets are red" button.

Vance has no charisma and he knows it. He is an empty vessel made by Peter Thiel and others.
