I do not care about first and second family member travel. It’s always happened and it should be diplomatic. I do care about her going at all in this specific case, and certainly while dragging a kid, to a country that is telling he not to come because it’s “highly aggressive”. That is not diplomacy. She shouldn’t go. And since there will be strong Anti-American protests in Greenland, she shouldn’t take the kid. That’s just decent parenting.

Was she ordered to go or is she fine with this? Who makes these kinds of decisions about where political spouses travel and what they do? Could she refuse this trip?

She’s a grown a## adult and not a political prisoner. No one can force her to go to Greenland. Now, there might be consequences for saying no. Okay, in Trumpland, there will be consequences. And it may be that she decided it was better to go than face them. But you don’t take the kid. Even if there are consequences. If she thinks this is going to be a warm reception and a fun day at the dog races, she’s a fool. And YLS grads who fast tracked not major firms are not fools.

I don't even think that's the case! Her husband is the second most powerful man in America, and Usha can't say "Oh, I'm sorry...I don't want to take my oldest out of school for that long and I don't even particularly want to go alone because it's the end of the school year and my other kids have a lot going on"?

Be clear— Elon is the most powerful man in America. Trump may be second. Vance does what they want.

They should. Why would they welcome government officials from a country threatening to overtake them??

NSA is there to visit a US military base. If he’s denied entry, Trump might use force. And it would be at least partly justified. The NSA has at least a plausible excuse— visiting a military base Greenland allows to be there. Usha’s job is to “pretty it up”.

This.

Real talk though: wouldn't you take any possible opportunity to get away from JD? I would...

She's shady af, and problematic in her own right, but who wants to hang out with him if it's not absolutely mandatory?

Come on - she's not Melanie here. We have no reason to believe she is anything but deeply in love and committed to this dismal man and administration.

Amy Chu arranged this marriage to create a power couple. And was successful. Amy Chu is not about, “there is this guy who you would really love”. She’s about 1+1=3– creating matches stronger than the sum of their parts.

Amy Chu may have designed this couple getting together but have you seen one shred of evidence that Usha isn't all in? She doesn't look like she's doing this against her will. She looks like she's doing this very much because she wants to.

Also WHY ARE WE PICKING FIGHTS WITH GREENLAND AND CANADA?!

DP but I think that's what this poster is saying. I agree Usha is all in, and it's not 100% out of love for JD.

I do think they love each other, or at least as much as two sociopaths can love each other, but I think for her a lot of this is enrichment and power.

I mean…she married the guy. I really have no sympathy for her.

No one takes you seriously when your main argument against a person is spreading lies about his supposed sexual activity.

+1. When you let Amy Chu arrange your marriage— at Yale Law School, FFS- you should go in with open eyes and clear head. She isn’t a victim here. The marriage was transactional, and presumably she is getting something out of the marriage.

Exactly. I condensed your quote a little bit but this really sums it up for me. This is a transactional marriage for them both.

Usha has basically nothing going for her that would lead to power by her own merit in modern conservative politics. She is painfully average looking and has absolutely no charisma or star power. I said in another thread that at the Kennedy Center board meeting last week, she sat off in the back looking terrified and meek while the other women were all front and center. She just would not make it in politics on her own. Full stop. I don't doubt that she's smart and hard working but that's not enough in the modern GOP.

JD was not particularly handsome when he was younger, and he comes from a very rough background. It would've been hard for him to find a wife willing to accept his daddy issues and meth head family members.

I don't feel any sympathy for Usha and find the "Oh, well she's a friend of a friend of a friend so I feel bad for her :(" mentality prevalent among liberal white women to be very odd. She is the one who floated the idea of JD running for office to Megyn Kelly years ago. This was all her doing. She wants to be right here, riding his coattails, because she couldn't do it herself.

You don’t see her as a victim?

+1 She has a Yale Law School degree. She chose to stand by JD's side and bring her multi-racial kids on his trip to Germany where he spoke out in support of the neo-Nazi party there. She's intending to bring her kid to Greenland where the Prime Minister said her trip was unwanted. She may be stupid in her life choices and lacking in morality, but she's not a victim.

+1. Again, not a poor woman with kids and no high school education tied to an abusive guy who’s raping her so she can keep her kids fed and a roof over their heads. She a Yale Law School grad whose mother was raising the kids so she could be on the biglaw fast tracked before this. She has the education, earning power and privilege to walk away at any point. I feel bad for women who are 20 with 2 kids and a GED a living with physical, sexual and emotional abuse, but dad says if she leaves, he’ll get the kids half time and she’ll be living of $89 a month of SNAP in her car. Who can’t afford the child care to work for $12 a hour at Walmart. I do not feel badly for someone with her pedigree who agreed as an adult to an arranged marriage in order to boost her own social position, and who could walk out, buy a home in Great Falls and send her kids to a private school instead of (gasp) Langley— even if she never gets a cent in child support.


Women will never be full citizens if they don’t take responsibility for their decisions. She had the education and earning power to choose to marry for love or stay single annd she chose this arrangement. She has the education and earning power to leave (although Trump would EO any firm that hired her out of existence). And I feel badly when the decisions are bad v worse. I do not feel badly when they are be Second Lady vs live in a gated community and afford to give your kids everything while you make partner in biglaw and your mom raises the kids. These are not “living in your car with kids” level bad v. Worse decisions. It’s living as a 99.9% v living as a 99%.

Don't forget the part where she trotted her half-Indian kids out at campaign events while Trump spent most of the campaign saying it wasn't possible to be half-Indian.

Usha is gross. I know some of you like to think she's just this frumpy, nerdy mom whose husband got her into this mess but she's not. She's a villain of this story. She's happy to get the free trips and the (stolen) Kennedy Center board seat.

Everyone in Greenland knows Vance and her kid are coming and they are not happy about it. Why any parent who even pretends to care about their kid would subject a kid to this level of political animosity, I do not know.
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03/24/us/trump-news#trump-greenland-us

For more than 150 years, U.S. officials have repeatedly wanted, as President Trump puts it, to “get” Greenland.

The idea came up in the 1860s, then again before and after the world wars. In a way, the timing couldn’t be better than now, with Greenlanders re-examining their painful colonial history under Denmark and many people there itching to break off from Denmark, which still controls some of the island’s affairs.

But President Trump seems to have overplayed his cards — big time.

His decision, announced this weekend, to send a high-powered U.S. delegation to the island, apparently uninvited, is already backfiring. The administration tried to present it as a friendly trip, saying that Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance, would attend a dogsled race this week with one of her sons, and that Michael Waltz, the national security adviser, would tour an American military base.

But instead of winning the hearts and minds of Greenland’s 56,000 people, the move, coupled with Mr. Trump’s recent talk of how he will “get it, one way or the other,” is pushing Greenland further away.

Over the past 24 hours, the Greenlandic government has dropped its previous posture of being shy and vague in the face of Mr. Trump’s pushiness. Instead, it has blasted him as “aggressive” and asked Europe for backup. And the planned visit may only strengthen the bonds between Greenland — an ice-covered land three times the size of Texas — and Denmark.

“This will clearly have the opposite effect of what the Americans want,” said Lars Trier Mogensen, a political analyst based in Copenhagen. “This offensive pushes Greenland further away from the U.S., even though a year ago, all parties in Greenland were looking forward to more business with the Americans.”

His prediction? Greenlanders, he said, will “seek safety in the status quo — in the Kingdom of Denmark and its alliances.”

[bold]Even the dogsled race has reacted coolly. The organizers of the race — the Avannaata Qimussersua, Greenland’s Super Bowl of dogsled races — said on Sunday of Ms. Vance and her son, “We did not invite them,” but added that the event was open to the public and “they may attend as spectators.” [/bold]

I remember someone who visited Greenland being warned about how the dogs periodically take out a child, so just don't trip around them. Ever since my Greenland fact to remember has been, don't take the kids. But here we are. Is she taking her smallest or the biggest?

Greenland is in a very difficult position here. If I were them, I’d give Usha and friends an escort direct to the military base and advise that it is simply not safe for them to do anything else. And say it in front of the kid. If he’s going to be used as a pawn, he ought to know what that entails. He’s old enough.

The population of Greenland is only 56,000. More people live in Bethesda. Those poor people, they must be terrified.
