The beginning of the post-Trump era; What did the vice president dream about?
Vance, in analyzing the electoral defeat of the Republicans, referred to four effective factors in changing voter behavior: the Iran war, economic problems and living costs, moving away from the "America First" policy, and finally the need to examine relations with Israel. But the decisive point was emphasizing the Iran war as the most important cause of failure. This tweet is more than an election assessment and a kind of political distancing from a decision made directly during Trump's presidency.
From what his tweet showed, Vice President Trump apparently understood that continuing the Iran war and moving away from the promise of "America First" could become a major weakness for the Trump administration and the Republicans as a whole. Vance wants to use this situation to redefine his political identity: preserve Mega's legacy, criticize her deviations and present himself as a figure who can lead the movement after Trump.
Vance doesn't want to fight Trumpism; By the way, he wants to be her heir, and of course, the narrator of her flawless and original form, in his own words. His unprecedented tweet could be considered one of the first clear signs of this strategy. Now, whether Vance's disagreement with Trump is genuine or artificial is no longer relevant; The more important issue for him is whether he can remove the MAGA movement from Trump and register it under his own name. The contest over the answer to this question will probably be one of the most important developments in American domestic politics until the 2028 election.
