Remember Peter Thiel, one of Donald J. Trump’s biggest donors in 2016, has re-emerged as a prime financier of the Make America Great Again movement

I LOL'ed on Twitter when someone described Thiel as the "Littlefinger" of the GOP.

Only fans of Game of Thrones will understand the reference.

We still have Thune, the asshat out of Texas, Graham, Grassley, and a crap load of others!! I think a deal has been cut between Trump and DeWine to put Vivek in Vance’s place and if we can get Kari Lake over the finish line I will have HOPE!! These bastards leaving ONLY in a coffin HAS TO STOP!!

He reveled for a time as a Never Trumper, with a 2016 essay in the Atlantic, “Opioid of the Masses,” in which he explained, “Donald Trump feels good, but he can’t fix America’s growing social and cultural crisis.”

Vance was naive to think that any political figure could "fix" the "growing crisis." The best that can be done is to take the right steps, rather than the wrong ones. Vance was also naive to think that the Atlantic cared about "fixing" the crisis, rather than exploiting it and making it worse.

Yes...I know DJT went to Silicon Valley recently and was very well received. DJT has one personality for campaigning but another one for business - he is VERY smart so I have to believe he’s got this.

Kimberly is whip - smart. Her opinion should be carefully considered.

Trump in a sentence:

Throw me to the wolves and I’ll return leading the pack.

This is EXACTLY what he did.

this garbage article has the finger prints of Rupert Murdoch.
Rupert makes them print globalist propaganda.
WSJ and Rupert are enemies of the people.
JD will be fine.

Thiel was a big Trump supporter in 2016. That was my point. Thiel’s support of Vance is not a departure.

Doesn’t the Trump hating Rupert Murdoch own the Wall Street Journal op-ed?

Trump has so much to accomplish in the next 3 years, especially getting this year’s election audited nationwide and passing legislation eliminating drop boxes for federal elections, eliminating excess registered “voters,” AND making photo ID mandatory. It’s the only chance Vance will have in 2028 against the democrat nominee Wes Moore.

Yes many there are looking to cheer on someone other than Trump now. It jumped the shark.

Neither he or his wife is the problem.

Putting small businesses out of business eliminates jobs for the working poor and middle class.

His wife may be a problem also.

Kama Sutra may balance that out.
