I have noticed Vance's named paired with Trump's in more headlines lately.

Honestly, I don't read or watch much news these days because I'm trying to maintain the will to live, but while flicking past certain web pages on my way elsewhere, I have seen headlines reading "Trump and Vance" do so-and-so. This strikes me as unusual.

Not only are VP's names not routinely cobbled together with Presidential names for most news stories, but with a narcissist like Trump, it would seem like something media entities would avoid. I wonder if it's a way to get America used to the idea of Vance as the lead voice, and if it is an indication that people in certain circles are being given subtle nods regarding the truth about Trump's health.

Of course, this could just be a sign that I am slipping down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole. That is all too easy to do these days, and I don't claim to be immune to such thinking. I feel like everybody's mental health is dancing on a precipice.

and there have been many Vance trips to various places being covered in media. Prominence of Vance much more than was ever ceded to Kamala Harris during Biden's time.

And Trump's obvious medical problems.

We can see a pattern emerging?
