Private calls, public praise: Inside the unusual Trump-Ramaswamy dynamic
Washington Post ^ | 10.3.2023 | Dylan Wells, Marianne LeVine and Josh Dawsey

...The Trump-Ramaswamy relationship dates back to 2021, after Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner arranged a dinner to introduce them, according to people familiar with the meeting.

As Ramaswamy traveled the country promoting his book, “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam,” he made a stop by Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, N.J., to meet the former president for the first time.

Kushner — a friend of Ramaswamy’s — thought Trump would like the first time author, according to a person familiar with the relationship. In the interview, Ramaswamy recalled he and Trump discussing politics in his home state of Ohio during the meeting. Ramaswamy said that Trump asked his opinion of the various candidates running for U.S. Senate in the state, and that Ramaswamy praised J.D. Vance, a former classmate of his in law school who went on to win the seat last November. They did not talk about his own political aspirations at the dinner, according to Ramaswamy.

I have seen it suggested that Ramaswamy is working with Trump and is his mouthpiece.

Well of course Vivek is a Trump surrogate, but the money is drying up, which is why Vivek is fading away so fast.

Ramaswampy is a poseur. I like Kash Patel if we want an Indian in Trump’s inner circle.

Kash does not have the money or energy or photographic memory on issues or able to speak on any issue in media.

No way for any of us to know the deceits and secret plans of the politicians.

I doubt Vivek’s ego lets him actually support Trump unless it suits his future years’ plans. IMO.

Vivek listens all day to the radio station WII-FM (What’s In It For Me).📻

My 1st thought. Not a great reflection on Kushner.
