JD Vance’s “Trump 2028” Stunt Backfires—Wife Usha Looks Miserable Again
JD Vance thought he was being clever. A grinning selfie, a bold red “Trump 2028” hat, and a wink to Donald Trump’s impossible third term—all posted to Bluesky like a middle-school dare. The caption? “I’ve got an exciting announcement about my political future! #Trump2028.”
It was pure bait. But what JD didn’t expect was how fast the hook would turn on him—and maybe even his marriage.
At first, the internet did what it does best: explode. Critics from left and right piled on. “Kinda sad you just wanna be his bh,” one user jabbed. “What do you even do besides post selfies and tour blue states?” asked another. But others saw the deeper play: Was JD hinting at his own 2028 presidential bid? One X (Twitter) user said he had “a pair of bs” strong enough to take on world leaders.
But while JD chased clout, Usha Vance was left in the dust again.
Usha Breaks the Silence — And It Hurts
Just hours before JD’s post, Usha appeared on Meghan McCain’s “Citizen McCain” podcast—and dropped a bombshell. When JD accepted Trump’s VP offer in 2024, she wasn’t even in the loop. “Maybe five minutes before it went public,” she said.
No prep. No conversation. Just Secret Service outside the house and her life flipped upside down.
And then came the real gut-punch: the FIFA Club World Cup match. The Second Couple was spotted in a luxury suite, champagne and bottled water in hand—but their body language said it all. Usha sat stiff, staring at the floor, visibly detached. Photos showed a literal and emotional gap between her and JD. One empty chair between them said more than any press release could.
JD’s Timing? Disastrous.
Earlier that same month, JD gave a speech at the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army Grand Military Parade. A big moment. He could’ve used it to honor his wife—it was also their anniversary. Instead? He tossed in a quick mention, buried under birthday wishes for Trump. “I’d get in trouble if I didn’t mention it’s also my wedding anniversary,” he said, as if that covered it.
For a former Marine-turned-Vice President, JD Vance knows how to fight. But as his marriage shows more cracks—and as Usha’s public appearances grow more distant—the real question isn’t whether he’ll run in 2028.
It’s whether he’ll be running alone.
