Well, the boss is happy.

Speaking exclusively to Fox News Digital Wednesday morning, former President Donald Trump praised JD Vance for a strong debate performance against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

“JD was fantastic,” Trump said.

“JD was fantastic last night – it just reconfirmed my choice,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “There was a brilliance to what he did.”

“On the other hand, Tim Walz proved to be a man that doesn’t have it in any way shape or form for the office that he is seeking, though I would put him a large number of steps above Kamala,” Trump said.

Trump said Walz “embarrassed himself and the Democrat Party last night but was made to look even worse by JD’s brilliant performance.”

“This is what the country needs; smart people, not people that can’t put two sentences together,” Trump said. “We have to take our country back.”

One of Vance’s strongest moments during the debate was his explanation of Trump’s “peace through strength” approach to foreign policy — more relevant than ever with the world on the brink of war.

“People were afraid of stepping out of line,” Vance said. “Donald Trump recognized that for people to fear the United States, you needed peace through strength. They needed to recognize that if they got out of line, the United States’ global leadership would put stability and peace back in the world.”
