hm, maybe it's better if Trump stays president for 4 years (instead of Vance coming up). The devil you know...

Vance is just a figurehead for Theil, Musk, Sacks etc.

It's obvious from recent video of Musk and Trump that Trump is also a figurehead at this point.

Trump primarily cares about two things:

1) Staying out of prison

2) Being adored

What happens to the country is beside the point, from his perspective. Which is why he's more than happy to let Musk and the Heritage Foundation call the shots. He has no interest in actually running things, that's too much work.

Vance doesn’t have Trump’s sway with the ‘base’, or mob. Vance can have all the dictatorial aspirations in the world, but he doesn’t have the popular support or influence, like Trump does, to act on them.
