Yeah my wife hates it too.
— Donald Trump’s quip to former Biglaw attorney and current political spouse Usha Vance about her distaste for politics. According to JD Vance’s telling of the story, Usha was asked by the former president what she thought of his political aspirations, “If anybody knows my wife, it’s like the perfect Usha answer—it’s a very diplomatic answer. It’s like: ‘Well sir, my husband really loves public service, we love the state of Ohio and I’m just really thrilled to be able to help him out where I can.’” But Trump apparently saw through the lawyerly obfuscation.
