JD Vance previewed a possible 2028 argument, one he will no doubt have to make a few hundred times, on the question of corruption and self-dealing inside the Trump administration.
In an interview with Mark Halperin, Vance said, “I just don’t understand the argument that politics has somehow made Donald Trump or his family much better off. I mean, their lives were nearly destroyed, their business was nearly destroyed, they tried to throw the president in jail for something like 900 years. So I don’t see the benefit there.” Later he adds, “It’s laughable to me the idea that Donald Trump has somehow been enriched by political office.”
