G. Elliot Morris: “Voters aren’t confused about the motive, either. 62% say Trump made the promise mainly to win votes in November, and only 13% think he genuinely intends to send the money. … Moreover, 71% of adults say it is inappropriate for a president to promise government payments that depend on his party winning an election, including 53% of Republicans.”

Vance-Splaining Explained

Vice President JD Vance is off on an essential mission:
Vance-splaining Trump’s lies, like a truth beautician.

JD Vance must wonder sometimes what he got himself into,
Following behind Donald Trump doing rhetorical jiujitsu.

And telling what Trump “meant” instead,
As the midterms loom, JD has a lot of “Vance-splaining” to do.
