U.S. Vice President Vance today spoke of what he described as Trump’s unparalleled work ethic:
“He’s the person I’ve seen sleep the least…
He’ll call us at 2:30 a.m., asking, ‘Are you awake?’
You can only reply: No, sir, I wasn’t awake just now, but I am now. Go ahead—what’s on your mind?
He’s working at all hours of the day.”
Commentary: Vance’s anecdote about receiving calls in the middle of the night was evidently intended to portray Trump as relentlessly dedicated, fully immersed in national affairs—a narrative crafted to bolster momentum ahead of the midterm elections. Yet governing is not a contest over who can stay up later. Staying awake does not equate to sound judgment. Major diplomatic and military decisions carry consequences that can alter countless lives; they demand clarity, composure, and rigorous analysis—not mere endurance.
