[@LandenWilder]

i will be voting for vivek ramasmamy in 2028

[@RickPatNB]

Same. He is the only one coming anywhere near Trump's charisma. He is the perfect candidate. Dems can't even bring in race anymore, they'd lose their mind desperately trying to take down Vivek. The attacks will be fierce. Vivek should be prepared for anything and I think he will be.

[@fsdpro5461]

V.is running for 2028 and wants Trump's endorsement.

[@irok81]

@@daytonshuflita2201 That is true. But Vivek has a deep understanding of American history and is extremely intelligent. I love Trump and the job he did the first time he was president but lets face it, Trump has never reached back to articulate American history. He surrounds himself with people who can get jobs done and that is what made him a great president.

[@nicekidgames1665]

Yes but slight correction . He SHOULD be the president. This guy blows all the other nominees both Democrat as well as Republican parties, out of the water, including Trump. Not only a gifted orator, he’s well-versed in his history and politics,( not to sound racist ) but He only didn’t get it because he’s Indian and there’s a very serious final war between judaism as well as white Christianity in this nation and unfortunately, he’s not a part of that club. It’s almost as if Vivek was born in the wrong timeline by mistake, and was meant for a different alternative timeline.

Vivek Ramaswamy started with very little and made companies which are worth millions to billions of dollars. Vivek is also an amazing speaker who doesn't need a teleprompter to make an inspiring speech. He is basically Donald Trump but with a less fortunate start. If the Trump administration is able to live up to it's expectations then we will hopefully be able to see Vivek run in 2028 for the oval office.

To those who say that they like Vivek Ramaswamy and his political viewpoints (I agree), BUT wouldn't vote for Trump because they "don't like" him, his occasional coarseness, and/or his occasional boasting, I say this: Respectfully, that doesn't make sense and TDS is clouding such people's eyes to the FACT that Vivek IS ACTUALLY the younger, "hipper" slightly more energetic -- but less seasoned and less life experienced [and yes, less coarse or boastful on occasion] -- version of Donald Trump !!!!!! So those folks need to get over and get past the "scales on the eyes" and recognize that the political and policy viewpoints of Trump & Vivek are 100% in sync -- make no mistake about that. They are such mirror images on policy issues in fact that I was actually hoping Vivek would have been selected as the VP candidate on the ticket and the "heir apparent" to the America First movement ... which he still can spearhead in 2028 or in later years.
