Vance. But one would be hard pressed to find much expression of support for Vance during the hour long harangue. In fact, Trump&#8217;s introduction to Vance could hardly be characterized as complimentary <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RonFilipkowski\/status\/1571466504956219393\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">when he said<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;JD is kissing my ass, he wants my support so bad.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52594\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wannabe Kingmaker Donald Trump\u2019s Latest Endorsement (Vance) Reveals His Big Fat Flaming Ego<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>True to form, Trump spent nearly the entire time exalting himself, disparaging his foes, lying profusely, and vilifying America as <em>&#8220;a nation in decline,&#8221;<\/em> and awash in crime, corruption, and cultural depravity. To be fair, those are all subjects that he should be well acquainted with.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s allegiance to other Republicans is always conditioned on their demonstration of unflinching adoration and loyalty to him. So even though Vance has previously described Trump as <em>&#8220;noxious,&#8221; &#8220;outrageous and offensive,&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;an idiot,&#8221;<\/em> Trump can forgive him if he kneels to kiss his posterior.<\/p>\n<p>However, at the same time Trump also used this rally speech to distance himself even farther from the Republican Party that he is supposed to be leading. At one point he explicitly distinguished support for him from that of the GOP saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We got 12 million more and we lost. We didn\u2019t lose.

His criticism of the Republican Party seems to suggest that he isn&#8217;t actually affiliated with it.
