JD Vance Mocked After Absurdly Praising Trump For The Words He 'Chooses'

JD Vance got a brutal reminder after he insisted on X that Donald Trump "chooses his words carefully."

Vice President J.D. Vance was widely mocked after absurdly praising President Donald Trump as someone who "chooses his words carefully."

It sure was odd for Vance to say this about the same man who once referred to supply chains as "supply change," had to have an entire interview with Dr. Phil awkwardly cut to hide his repeated gaffes, weirdly named his billionaire ally Elon Musk "Leon" at a rally, and as recently as this month referred the social media platform TikTok as "Tic Tac" twice in quick succession, confusing it with the popular breath mint brand.


But nonetheless, Vance did, writing the following in a post via his official X account:

"So much of American diplomacy has become pure performance--an obsession with *saying* this or that. The reason the failed establishment hates President Donald J. Trump is because he chooses his words carefully and, more importantly, is much more focused on *doing*."

You can see his post below.

Critics pounced immediately, wondering what world Vance is living in.


Trump has often been criticized for his freewheeling speaking style, which contains any number of rambling and disconnected thoughts, usually containing falsehoods and lies. In fact, a Calvin University historian who has done a comparative study of Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s speaking styles once said that Trump's "speeches are full of non-sequiturs."

His speech pattern has also been a regular subject of discussion among those who question whether he was ever cognitively prepared to hold office.

Trump is also well known for his many spelling mistakes. From "Shoebiz" to "hamberders," Trump's spelling errors have often made headlines and provided late-night hosts with comedic material. His former X feed, in particular, has been fertile ground for these linguistic mishaps, including the infamous "covfefe" incident.

In 2019, Factba.se researchers took on the task of identifying and cataloging Trump's misspelled words during the first Trump administration. They chose to focus on the quantity and absurdity of the errors rather than minor punctuation mistakes. Their findings revealed that Trump had made 188 misspellings on Twitter since taking office, averaging roughly one misspelling every five days.
