Donald Trump phoned into NewsNation’s town hall to ask Vance to describe how “brilliant” he is. Trump’s lackey, running mate Vance, answered, “Of course, you’re very brilliant.”
Senator JD Vance was only about two-thirds of the way through a televised town hall — taking questions from undecided voters in downtown Detroit on Thursday — when he received an unexpected cold call from his boss. After the 3-minute exchange, Vance was put off his game and had trouble responding to the next few questions.
“I do have a question,” former President Donald J. Trump said on speakerphone during the NewsNation broadcast. “I think it would be quite an interesting one. The answer should be easy.”
“How brilliant is Donald Trump?” Mr. Trump asked, referring to himself in the third person.
Narcissism runs amok.
