Trump makes all the decisions himself. He doesn’t want to involve his VP again and make a “mistake” like he did with Pence.

He’s just waiting for his time. Which I honestly fear will be worse than trumps as he is seriously into christofascism.

Thiel's data gathering company, Palantir, has government contracts/access that is probably worse than Musk's DOGE. Beyond dangerous if JD becomes potus.

As to vacationing on the taxpayer's dime, he's learning from the best -- Trump.
