JD Vance appeared to be swiped by his boss on Tuesday, leading one analyst to remark that President Donald Trump "let slip" his disdain for the vice president.
During a Cabinet meeting, Trump appeared to struggle with alertness and coherence while disparaging Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).
“I think the man’s a grossly incompetent man,” a drowsy Trump said, referring to Walz.
Trump then appeared to take a swipe at both Walz and Vance.
“I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in a debate. I was saying, ‘Who was more incompetent? That man or my man?’ I had a man, and he had a man—they were both incompetent," said Trump.
Trump's confused rant left Edith Olmstead of The New Republic taken aback.
"Based solely on the structure of Trump’s statement, the president appeared to assert that 'that man' and 'his man' were both incompetent.' But surely Trump would go on to clarify what he meant, right? Wrong," she wrote.
Trump instead added, "I had a man and a woman, I thought she was very incompetent too. But now she’s leading the field and I think she’s leading the field in the nomination."
Olmstead noted Trump appeared to "glower" as Vance spoke, whereas he "merely kept his eyes shut" for most Cabinet members.
