Vice President JD Vance: No One Saw This Coming, The Ceasefire Is Real!
"Sometimes I feel like I ruined his life without even asking him. He hated the attention. He hated how people treated him differently. Dad, I just want everyone to go back to treating us like they used to. The emotion's still right on the surface for you. Very much so."
J.D. Vance became visibly emotional describing how becoming Vice President affected his 9-year-old son, who told him he wanted people to treat them normally again. Vance said he felt profound guilt for conscripting his introverted child into a life of Secret Service protection and constant attention without asking him, though the child has since adjusted and said it's now pretty good.
