GOP Senate candidate J.D. Vance says Trump views suck-ups as 'weak'

CLEVELAND — Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance, one of five Republicans eager for Donald Trump’s support in a competitive 2022 primary, doesn’t think his past criticism of the former president will cost him an endorsement.

“My intuition with Trump, it's interesting, I think that he gets a certain kick out of people kissing his a--,” Vance told NBC News in a telephone interview Wednesday. “But I also think he thinks that people who kiss his a-- all the time are pretty weak.”

“I think that he respects people who can defend themselves, who have their own ideas,” he added.

Vance — a venture capitalist and the author of the bestselling book-turned-Netflix movie “Hillbilly Elegy” — has spent the early days of his Senate campaign expressing regret for his negative comments about Trump in 2016. Several of his rivals also preferred other GOP presidential candidates before Trump earned the nomination or made similarly critical remarks. But Vance’s opponents have piled on with reminders of the time he said he “couldn’t stomach Trump” and other rebukes.

Because he likes to dominate, but he's weak as fuck -- physically, intellectually, psychologically. So surrounding himself with weak-ass suck ups lets him feel strong.

likes the attention. I imagine the sick f**k likes watching people squirm, embarrassed, emotionally abused too.

Regarding Vance's other statement...the Pig doesn't respect anyone, doesn't respect the law, doesn't respect this country beyond what it is putting in his wallet. I guess that is not entirely true he holds himself in the highest regard, being a stable genius and all.

Vance doesn't realize the Pig is a malignant narcissist I guess.
