Were is Trump and Vance’s wives?

Harris and Walz have their spouses around as they face camera’s and campaign….

Trump and Vance talk about ‘family’….

But their’s are absent…..

And Trump has this thing about women of color….(Vance’s wife…Kamala Harris?)

The illiberal duo who are running for president and vice president on the GOP ticket hold themselves out to be the apostles of family values. However, in stark contrast to Harris and Walz, their wives and families are largely absent on their campaign trail, with the exception of Donald Trump Jr..

It’s quite an act of hypocrisy for Trump and Vance. Of course, Melania has been famously distant from Trump the politician and perhaps Trump the person, although she did make a seated appearance (along with Ivanka) at the Republican Convention

As for J.D. Vance, not only his wife (and young children) are nowhere to be seen (although Usha did speak at the Milwaukee convention), Vance is reduced to the rank hypocrisy of defending his wife of Indian ancestry against the ““white first” followers of, well, Donald Trump. Let’s unpack that for a moment, Vance is indignant that his wife is being vilified for being non-white while Trump, the head of his ticket, is inciting pro-white grievance.

On August 11, The Hill reported:

“Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) doubled down on defending his wife, Usha Vance, against the white supremacist attacks she has faced since he was tapped as former President Trump’s running mate last month.

“Look, my attitude to these people attacking my wife is, she’s beautiful, she’s smart. What kind of man marries Usha? A very smart man and a very lucky man, importantly,” Vance said Sunday on ABC News’s ‘This Week.’”

Except that her craven husband wants Usha as far away from the campaign trail as possible because she would draw the ire and disparaging backlash of Trump, I mean Trump-Vance, supporters.

A January 26, 2023, MSNBC article brings home the point:

“Former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao [who was in Trump’s cabinet and is married to Mitch McConnell] called out former President Donald Trump for his racist broadsides aimed at her and his other anti-Asian rhetoric.

Trump, who is ramping up his 2024 presidential campaign, has repeatedly made racist attacks on Chao, who served in his administration, in recent months.”

So on the one hand we have the Republican Party of so-called “family values” ensuring that their wives and families are largely nowhere to be seen on the trail and the head of the ticket spewing racist and anti-Asian rhetoric. On the other hand, we have the Democratic ticket embracing their spouses and families…..
