I expect Trump will respond by insulting the Marine Corps and not lose a single voter.

Will we ever see the breaking point of conservatives' support for Trump? Trump can kick them in the balls and thank him if he says "MAGA".
Trump can kick them in the balls and they'll straight face blame Biden.
My hope was we would see a slow shift after he was out of office like with Bush, but now I'm convinced he'll be the next Reagan. Decades from now we'll still be feeling the consequences while they talk about how he was the last great president who you could really trust.
Trump can kick them in the balls
Are we absolutely sure he can raise his legs that far?
The person is laying down. Bam. Problem solved.
Are you kidding? Marines love it when a person of higher rank insults them. His vote share will go up.
He’s done worse and the military still votes for him. Tbf soldiers and anyone who is willing to die for their government is an idiot
Imagine a family member of yourself is currently fighting in a war, you’re being vocal about said war, but you’re actively ignoring said family member.
That looks pretty cruel to me.
Let's not forget that with this administration, the cruelty is the point. I thought the guy was shitty before, this just keeps reinforcing it.
It’s probably because he doesn’t care to dig into an issue any further than what fits the current narrative that he’s pushing, which should be a disqualifying trait for anyone holding an office this high.
I mean it's his cousin...he probably had to punch J.D. at some point in their lives to protect his sister from that weirdo^^
Sisters Couch*
TIL J.D. Vance is related to a couch
Next time activists see him and his kids they should ask him why he wants his cousin to die in Ukraine...
Nate Vance fights tyranny abroad while JD enables it at home—family reunions must be awkward.

Death to the Trump administration.
If you watch the dynamic of the video, Vance was there to show he could do it on the big stage. Trump was the boss there watching and trying not to jump in until he felt Vance lost the thread.
That’s a great thing to do, as a boss, for matters of middling importance. Not so great when you’re both fucking morons and are risking a global conflict.
Idiots here are going to attack me but i'm gonna pointing it out anyway: "former US marine drawn to Ukraine by curiosity and a sense of adventure but also felt a strong urge to help" doesn't sound like a good preamble to me
I hope he's a genuine guy and didn't go there just to shoot at somebody and fulfill their military training like many others have done.
