“I wanted to serve our wonderful commander in chief, President Donald J. Trump, and I know we’re proud of him,” Vance said, per The Economic Times.

“And, of course, I wanted to serve the American people and make their lives better, but really, deep down, I wanted the commandant of the Marine Corps to have to salute a member of the E4 Mafia, and now he has to.”
People online didn’t like this
His answer wasn’t exactly met with everyone’s acceptance, with many people online expressing their bafflement.
One user noted, “Not to serve America, people. To serve Donald Trump.”
Many weren’t on board with the sentiment
Another user wrote, “JD Vance’s admission of serving Trump over America is a disgrace. As VP, his oath is to the nation, not a single man.”
“This loyalty swap mocks the Marine Corps’ values he claims to honor. Time to prioritize citizens, not cult leaders. #Vance #AmericaFirst #Trump,” they added.
Another user was clearly against it
A third person wrote, “Yeah—Vance’s ‘service’ is just another loyalty oath to the cult leader, not our Constitution.”
“Same dangerous vibe with Hegseth’s Christian nationalism masquerading as patriotism. America first, not Trump first! #VanceUnfit.”
