Opinion: JD Vance, Much Like Trump, Is A Media Creation

Huff Post  

Much as I can’t stand a hypocrite, I have never found the hoopla over JD Vance’s evolution on Donald Trump to be all that particularly compelling a topic. Then there are fancy folks like Larry Summers, former treasury secretary under Bill Clinton and president of Harvard, who tweeted: “Anyone wanting to understand Trump’s rise or American inequality should read it.” The fanfare led to Vance becoming a mainstay on TV and turning himself into a celebrity pundit during the 2016 presidential campaign. Ron Howard, who directed the ”Hillbilly Elegy” adaptation, told Variety in 2022 about Vance’s interest in politics: “At the time I was working with him he was concentrating on starting his family and he was becoming a businessman and I asked him about it, he said, ‘Maybe somebody down the road.’ Someday came a little sooner than any of us expected.” As for his embrace of Trump, Howard said, “To be honest, I was surprised,” noting, “To me, he struck me as a very moderate center-right kind of guy.” Howard said the two never discussed politics directly, but what Vance says about working-class white people in the book is quite political in nature to me. Following his selection as Trump’s VP, Sam Workman, a professor of political science at West Virginia University, described the book as “poverty porn” in an interview with The Associated Press. “The Trump turn can be understood as a lock-in on contempt as the answer to anger” — and in Vance’s case, contempt directed at his political enemies.
