Der wahre Grund, warum Trump JD Vance außen vor lässt

The “new sheriff in town” swaggered into the Munich Security Conference a year ago and launched [a shock and awe attack on his transatlantic allies](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/uk-politics-live-latest-updates-3-3526770?srsltid=AfmBOooP-rTaALuBrsfwb_6Q44F3euOTR5jDOwxz9iaAW1thzsD8cZrn&ico=in-line_link) that did so much damage that both Europe and the US are still reeling.

On his first official visit, [Donald Trump’s](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?ico=in-line_link) new vice president [JD Vance](https://inews.co.uk/topic/jd-vance?ico=in-line_link) declared that “in Britain and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat”. European governments, he claimed contemptuously, were “running in fear of their own voters” using “ugly Soviet era words like misinformation and disinformation” to suppress dissent while “opening the floodgates” to mass migration.

Vance’s antipathy was even blunter in the Signal chat accidentally sent to *The* *Atlantic* magazine’s editor*.* “[I just hate bailing out Europe again](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/jd-vance-revealed-how-he-feels-about-trump-and-it-will-cost-him-3604548?srsltid=AfmBOoq5po1RbqjbqLgJ0-Gw3DEt0w4tSFmacPvoMmjF1RxvlQUGNLTx&ico=in-line_link),” he complained.

Offence was taken and Vance and the entire US executive branch still enjoy unprecedented levels of unpopularity in polls across most of Europe. Vance’s summer [holiday in the Cotswolds](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/jd-vance-holidaying-cotswolds-strange-choice-3817578?srsltid=AfmBOor-V8ecuXow4ndSsIjDS4CLKB8K7DmyPGQSIG9J2KpNZkWVT6SF&ico=in-line_link), during which he and the UK’s then foreign secretary David Lammy broke fishing licensing regulations, did nothing to restore his image abroad.

Vance and [his wife Usha](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/is-jd-vances-wife-usha-already-eyeing-the-oval-office-3608269?srsltid=AfmBOoqagwct3vdpjQuoCvS4pGzWxocpSZ1H8WjXA-kinlJb_nqBY4OY&ico=in-line_link) were heartily [booed by many in the crowd](https://inews.co.uk/sport/olympics/ice-boos-jd-vance-israel-opening-ceremony-4220001?ico=in-line_link) at the opening ceremony of the Milan-Cortina 2026 earlier this month and the spectacle of his 40-vehicle motorcade reportedly sparked fury in the Italian city of small, narrow streets.

Following his European swing which took in the Winter Olympics, energy deals in Armenia and Azerbaijan, and included the White House deleting Vance’s social media post for going against the the US government’s stance on describing the massacres in Armenia as “genocide”, JD is staying back in the US of A rather than going to this year’s Munich Security Conference. Instead he is preparing his big speech to the friendly audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland next Friday.

[Secretary of State Marco Rubio](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/trump-acolyte-deposing-castro-could-inherit-america-4150963?srsltid=AfmBOoptLDtc4tI9mdjXe2tbYx5juE2Ybs2DNnP1t4lzoDlLtZrbaf7A&ico=in-line_link), and the biggest delegation ever of officials, are doing the business in Germany. Rubio, who also holds the post of National Security Adviser, is a smoother figure. Rather than abusing allies, he prefers to say that this is a “defining moment”, with the “old world gone”, when we must all “re-examine what our goal is going to be”.

He sidelined him because he rapes couches and not children.
