JD Vance may have a pro-Trump image lately, but back in the day, he was not a Donald Trump fan. Recently, Vance’s past comments about President Trump have resurfaced in a significant way, where he was criticising the American president.
Before aligning himself with Trump’s political ambitions, Vance openly expressed disdain for Trump during the 2016 election. He earlier labeled him as an “idiot” and made alarming comparisons to historical figures like Adolf Hitler. His portrayal as a “never-Trumper” was largely famous among his supporters during his presidential run.
In 2020, as the presidential election drew closer, Vance’s tweets painted a more critical picture of Trump‘s presidency. He remarked on X (formerly Twitter) that Trump had failed to deliver on his economic populist promises, except for a “disjointed China policy.”

Additionally, he even speculated that Trump would likely lose the election, a prediction that turned out to be correct.
His infamous quip about rejecting an offer from Trump, referring to him as “the emperor,” has recently resurfaced. Now that he is finally under the Trump administration, Vance takes pride in and defends whatever the current president implies.
