Reporter Drops Bombshells On JD Vance's Collapsing Marriage - Really American



Really American Host Kenny Hesse breaks down how Vice President J.D. Vance's marriage appears to be falling apart behind the scenes, according to a bombshell report from Salon — and the two barely seem to be capable of hiding how much they "loathe each other" at this point.

This video delves into the myriad minor and major red flags in JD And Usha Vance's crumbling relationship and exposes the signs of cracks in their marriage that pose the question: do the vice president and the second lady secretly hate each other? Signs certainly seem to reinforce the idea that the two are miserable in their marriage.

What do you think? - 08/11/2025.

Look at her background: she graduated from Yale University with a bachelor's degree in history and from Yale Law School with a Juris Doctor degree. After law school, she served as a law clerk for several senior federal judges, including Chief Justice John Roberts, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and Judge Amul Thapar.

And Usha was a better law student than J.D.

There's no way that J.D. can pull the traditional patriarchal superiority BS with a wife like that.

When my parents met and married in the Fifties, he was a resident physician. My mother had a BA from Barnard AND a Master's from Wellesley.

During the tenure of their marriage, Dad continually tried to exert male superiority over Mom -- and she wasn't having it. She graduated from not one, but two independent women's colleges, and learned critical thinking and leadership. The more Dad pushed, the harder Mom pushed back. He actually thought that doctors trumped six years of college with two degrees. He was sorely mistaken. And he hated it. And Mom hated it too, but for different reasons.

If my pattern is valid, I can't imagine Usha tolerating the Trump male superiority position. If anything, I would hope that she would start a new life, independent from her husband, if anything, to prevent her sons from adopting his misogyny.

Wonder Why
