Trump’s eldest son publicly highlighted JD Vance’s post that openly attacks White House policy for the crushing election loss.
We have already reached the backstabbing stage after the brutal midterm loss for the GOP.
However, it comes as a huge surprise that Donald Trump’s own son went on social media and seemingly blamed the president for how badly the Republican Party lost on Tuesday.
The president’s eldest son amplified the vice president’s post where he threw his own boss under the bus and blamed his war in Iran.
Backstabbing within the family
Rather than showing a united front, Vice President JD Vance posted a remarkably candid review online, blaming the defeat on economic pain and foreign conflict.
The 42-year-old vice president did not hold back. “The reason we lost is the war,” Vance wrote on social media, adding, “The president himself said so last night.”

Support arrived barely an hour later. This time it was from an unexpected front. Donald Trump Jr., President Donald Trump’s son, reposted the vice president’s sharp assessment with an emphatic verdict: “Every word of this is 💯💯💯.”

Two different stories
Vance argued that conservatives must face hard realities after losing the Senate. “If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so,” he wrote. He insisted that “everyone knows why we lost” and urged an honest discussion about the path ahead.
“To the people who are p—ed off and want to say, ‘I told you so’: you’re right, you did tell us so,” Vance added. He urged them to stay engaged and elect candidates who share their vision.
President Donald Trump offered a completely different story. Taking to Truth Social, he insisted that voters would have backed him in droves, writing, “I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!”
Later that evening, Trump brushed off deeper structural problems during an interview with Politico. He put the blame entirely on the individual candidates he had endorsed, saying, “They didn’t like the candidates in most cases.” In his eyes, the loss was simply “just one of those things.”
