Right before Donald Trump’s congressional speech on March 4, a lip reader claims that JD Vance uttered some chilling words in a conversation he believed to be private.

JD Vance’s political journey has been nothing short of a dramatic transformation. Back in 2016 – the same year his book “Hillbilly Elegy” was released – Vance openly expressed his disdain for Donald Trump, calling him an “idiot,” likening him to Nixon and, at worst, “America’s Hitler.”

“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a**hole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” Reuters reports of a private message Vance sent on Facebook to an associate in 2016.

When his Hitler comment went public in 2022, a spokesperson “did not dispute it, but said it no longer represented Vance’s views.”

In a striking reversal, he has since become one of Trump’s most loyal soldiers, rising through the ranks to secure a spot as vice president.

On March 4, House Speaker Mike Johnson presided over the House floor, preparing for the president’s bold and fiery congressial address. But right before Trump promised that his disruptive approach to politics was “just getting started,” Vice President Vance was chatting with Johnson, right in front of a live microphone.
