MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace can't understand what is happening with J.D. Vance and Donald Trump.
Anthony Scaramucci, Trump's short-lived communications director, and "All In Together" co-founder Lauren Leader discussed the bizarre relationship between the GOP team.
Wallace showed a clip of Trump and Vance in an interview with Fox where Trump goes off on a tangent about wind energy, of which his disdain is well documented. At one point, he alleged that windmills killed whales, but in a recent interview, he explained: "They want wind. The wind is blowing today. The whole thing is the most expensive hoax in the world. The wind. It kills our birds."

During the comments, Vance nodded along with enthusiasm.
"I'll ask you to explain the head nodding as our resident J.D. Vance expert. Why is he nodding? Anyone alive can understand that this was an idiotic, garbled sentence. Why is J.D. Vance nodding?" Wallace asked.
Scaramucci said he didn't want to be Vance's "life coach."
Instead, he said, "I'm watching this implode gloriously. I've got to tell you something, it's absolutely horrific. Go back to the tape, Nicolle. Take five minutes of your day and look at [Vance's] acceptance speech and look at Trump. It looked like he was eating a garbage sandwich in his mouth. I'm using a — we're on the air."
Scaramucci explained he didn't want to use profanity.
"Trump cannot stand this guy! I'm telling you right now, he's lighting up his staff. He's saying, 'I almost got killed by an assassin's bullet. You pushed this guy on me. He's dull and boring. Trump is a casting director. Vance is not helping here."
The "dirty secret" too, he continued, is "Vance thinks he's smarter than Trump. Trump hates that. Vance thinks this is his 2028 presidential tour. Donald Trump fires people who get more attention than him. Trust me, I know that. He fires people that get more attention."
