Soldier, financial investor, best-selling author – and now the man at Donald Trump’s side. JD Vance fought Trump and then put himself at his service. What does he stand for?
James David Vance is twelve years old when his mother decides to kill him. The two of them are sitting in the car together and he says something that she doesn’t like.

I’m going to kill us both.” JD Vance, as he is called these days, remembers this moment “crystal clear” even as an adult. When he talks about it in a 2017 interview, Vance fights back tears.
