Give JD Vance credit for at least one thing: He is truly trying to make
Donald Trump look good to voters.

Too bad the president�s own behavior keeps getting in the way.

Case in point: During a campaign rally in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, on
Thursday, the Ohio senator and former Marine praised the former president
using the Marine Corps motto of �Semper Fidelis� - or �always faithful.�

�I honor every member of every branch of our armed forces, but the one
thing that I think the Marines really do well is we have the best motto,�
Vance said to the crowd. �I�m biased with Semper Fidelis � always
faithful, right?�

Vance elaborated:

�You hear Marines say it all the time, Semper Fi, and to me, what it
means is that Marines are always faithful to our country. ...

�I want to expound upon it because I really do think that Donald Trump
exemplifies that motto because his government and under his
leadership, the United States was always faithful to the veterans of
this country.

�That�s something for us to be proud of. His record and his vision is
a vision of always being faithful to those who put on the uniform.�

You can see Vance�s comments below.

Of course, any Trump vice presidential nominee is expected to praise him,
but Vance�s thirst trap claims for the GOP�s fearless leader set him up
for internet mockery.

People tend to smirk when the �Semper Fidelis� motto is used in connection
with a guy who allegedly dodged the draft, was accused of cheating on all
of his wives, and reportedly referred to soldiers who died in combat as
�losers� and �suckers.�

Still, folks on X, formerly Twitter, couldn�t help but mock Vance�s
comments.

JD Vance desecrated Marine's moto: Semper Fidelis by using it to
describe a man who dodged draft to serve his country, cheated on his 3
wives, slept with a porn star while his wive was pregnant with his
son, lied to the American people and continues to put down America.

Called our military �suckers and losers.�

Insulted Gold Star families.

Said of POW John McCain that he prefers those who �didn�t get
captured.�

Didn�t want disabled amputee vets to be at his events because it makes
him look bad.

But sure, JV Vance�whatever you say.

JD Vance says as a Marine he is to be faithful to all members of our
Armed Forces, then proceeds to trash the 24 year service of Tim Walz.

I guess Semper Fi doesn't actually mean much to JD Vance

I wouldn�t call plotting an attempted coup and supporting an
insurrection, faithful to his oath of office as President. ?? �

HOLY CRAP! JD Vance has absolutely no honor. Trump hardly embodies
"Semper Fidelis." He...

?? Called soldiers "losers and suckers"
?? Insulted (and fired) Generals who worked for him (Mattis, Kelly,
McMaster, Milley) ?? Refused to visit cemetery in France

Semper Fraud! https://t.co/JgOPdejGUD
