Former TechGod, now Vice President J.D. Vance informed Olympians they are "not there to pop off on politics." In other words, Vance does not want or need citizen feedback.
Olympic values are Excellence, Respect and Friendship. Vance and his boss fail at all three. As a role model Trump II shows Olympic level lying, cheating, rudeness, insolence, impropriety, arrogance, unceasing need for ceaseless compliments from underlings and cruelty. J.D. is the Chihuahua at his master's feet.
That Olympians are asked to reconcile the games values with Trump II's incompetence, insults and bullying, should not be a surprise.
TechGods gave us abysmal customer service, so they've long proven their inability or lack of interest in feedback. Vance comes from this cloth.
Trump II's disintegration occurs before our very eyes and is due in part to his surrounding himself with sycophants like Vance and his clown car cabinet.
J.D. and his creep boss think they can tell independent voters what to think and what to do. Not happening.
Insiders may not listen to the little people but many voters are tired of incumbents who can't seem to pass legislation, i.e. perform their actual job. We'll see how many get sent home this November.
Votes are feedback, VP. Vance so get ready to listen because an Italian Alps avalanche may be headed your way. Get that beacon device in your backpack for you may get snowed under and need rescue.
Recall Trump II's standing while the pharmaceutical executive fainted in the Oval Office and Health Secretary Robert Kennedy's fled the scene. How good are you at self-rescue, Mr. Vance?
Can you dig yourself out of a hole you placed yourself into?
Update 2-12-26: No surprise former TechGod Vance defended an indefensible social media posts by his boss.
“You know, the president said a staffer posted a video, he hadn’t even watched the whole thing, when he watched the whole thing he took it down,” Vance said. “It’s not a real controversy.” “Should he apologize for posting a video and then taking it down? No, I don’t think so,”Vance said. “I think people post things on social media and if you post something and you don’t like it, you can take it down.”
Trump II pops off politically all the time and goes much further than vanilla statements of discomfort by a few Olympians. The athletes are uncomfortable about the number, size and scope of Trump II's pop offs. Internet searches show Vice President Vance nearly synonymous with hypocrisy.
