People confused as Trump appears to call JD Vance ‘incompetent’ with him in the same room

Donald Trump has once again left audiences puzzled after remarks in a media interview appeared to take a swipe at his own vice president.

Known for his blunt, free-flowing interview style, Trump typically directs his sharpest criticism at political rivals. This time, however, a clip circulating online suggested he may have accidentally included Vice President JD Vance in a verbal attack aimed at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

The comments were made during an exchange with reporters on December 2, when Trump was asked about the debates during the 2024 presidential campaign. A reporter specifically questioned him about Walz, who served as Kamala Harris’s running mate, and whether the governor should resign amid a fraud scandal in his state.

Trump quickly labeled Walz “grossly incompetent,” but his winding response created confusion. While discussing the debate performance, Trump said he had watched “J.D. destroy him,” then added: “I was saying, who is more incompetent? That man or my man?”
