There are likely several good explanations for it, but V.P.-Elect J.D. Vance has been invisible lately, largely replaced in Trump world by Elon or "Elonia" Musk.

My alter ego responds: "OK, Barton.  Use your thinking cap.  Musk gave Trump $250M, funneled through the America P.A.C.  He deserves to be in the Trump family portrait, to be "First Buddy" for a while." 

Of course, Vance was given a single assignment that hasn't been going very well; convincing U.S. Senators to confirm Trump's proposed nominees for administration roles.  

Yet, it's still too early for Trump to throw J.D. Vance under the proverbial bus as he's not even been sworn in yet.  The hangman's noose?  Shhhh!  Not just yet!
