It should go without saying that nothing in Trump’s record (including his personal conduct) suggests any allegiance to the Godly Society. And yet, he chose a running mate who is its most conspicuous proponent, probably to his regret at this point. Why did he do it?
Part of it was probably personal chemistry. Part of it was Vance’s proven ability to own the libs. Part of it was overconfidence. But the most important part was Vance’s strong support for tariffs, although the two candidates have different views on their purpose. For Vance, they are the catalyst for a revolutionary change to the economy that will make the Godly Society possible; for Trump, they are a way to revive dying industries that used to employ lots of brawny men and to create a slush fund by which he can reward his friends and punish his enemies.
If Trump wins, he will get his slush fund. In all other respects, both members of the ticket are likely to be disappointed.
