Fwd: I wrote this for you after my Inauguration

I really appreciate JD. Such a cute rags to success example for the United States of America. Gunnar ✌️ Larson ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: JD Vance <contact(a)support.donaldjtrump.com> Date: Thu, Jan 23, 2025, 9:23 PM Subject: I wrote this for you after my Inauguration To: <g(a)xny.io> Please read it all the way through. I would greatly appreciate it. [image: From JD Vance] <https://link.donaldjtrump.com/u/click?_t=c26d591425684a3289b90149d613a03c&_…> Gunnar, My mind is still going a million miles an hour, and with everything racing through my head right now, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. So I wanted to take a minute to reflect on the incredible journey that led me here. *SECURE VP MEMO <https://link.donaldjtrump.com/u/click?_t=c26d591425684a3289b90149d613a03c&_…>* Hillbilly, author, Marine, Senator — and now, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Who would’ve thought a kid from Middletown could one day make it to the White House? Not me, never in my wildest dreams. As you probably know already, I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth like so many of the career politicians I’ve had the misfortune of working within the D.C. swamp. I grew up poor, in the Rust Belt, in a small Ohio town that had been losing jobs and hope for generations. My Mamaw — God rest her soul — would go into medical debt just to put food on the table. Some nights, she didn't even have enough money to turn on the heat in the dead of winter. In Middletown, hard-working families that gave everything they had to achieve the American Dream watched helplessly as their jobs were shipped overseas. The statistics tell you that kids like me face a grim future – that if they’re lucky, they’ll manage to avoid welfare I was one of those kids with a grim future, but through hard work, grit, determination, and the love of my grandparents, I made it out. First to the Marines where I was deployed to Iraq, then to Yale where I met my incredible wife, and eventually all the way to the U.S. Senate where I faithfully served the great people of Ohio. But the real honor of my lifetime came from President Trump, when he gave me the privilege of joining his ticket. He called me and said, look, I think we've gotta go save this country, I think you're the guy who could help me in the best way. You can help me govern, you could help me win. And after a whirlwind campaign – one that featured a second failed assassination attempt, a political coup of the sitting president, and a landslide victory – we stand at the precious of the four greatest years in American history. President Trump and I are ready to keep the American Dream alive for future generations and restore this country’s great promise, but we can’t do it alone. *So today, I’m humbly asking you to step up one more time and contribute any amount - even just $5 - to support our new administration. >> <https://link.donaldjtrump.com/u/click?_t=c26d591425684a3289b90149d613a03c&_…> * *DONATE <https://link.donaldjtrump.com/u/click?_t=c26d591425684a3289b90149d613a03c&_…>* Gunnar, together we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
