Cliques can often be fun for their members, with shared secrets, inside jokes, mutual friends, and the feeling of acceptance a clique can offer. Cliques can also often be toxic, poisonous cocktails containing the evil roots of a thousand Bell Donna plants, especially if one is excluded from the clique.

In the Turmp world, one person would appear to be excluded. It is being reported that VP elect JD Vance has been “excluded” from the toxic trump clique. He has been missing from celebrations and is being ignored by many in Trump’s inner circle.

In recent days since the election, Trump has often been seen with figures such as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. But Vance’s appearances have been few. “Kicked out of Donald Trump’s inner circle.” That is what many are saying. His absence has been duly noted and sticks out like a sore thumb and the “where’s Vance” echoes are growing stronger even on social media.

Some are posting “Vance kicked out” messages on social media and watching delightedly as image after image appears with Trump surrounded by every trump sycophant known to man — except Vance.

As I said, cliques can have both their good and bad points. This writer was once in a clique. I’d personally never do it again. Cliques almost always descend into gossip and back-stabbing and can be very limiting, as one can end up in friend Silos, exposed to few ideas and opinions other than that of whatever clique they’re a part of.

Vance does not seem to be part of this merry bandit clique. Of course, he could always return. But right now, it seems, Vance is a hitchhiker, thumb out trying to catch a ride with the sleaziest caravan in DC — and they’re whizzing right on by him.
