Donald Trump is a bullshitter. He does not care about the truth. Ever single human interaction for him is an exercise is backscratching or fist fighting. Do something nice for Trump and Trump will do something nice for you. If you don't, he will try and destroy you. He does not care how an abstract concept of "truth" enters into this. This is why journalists have - sadly and predictably - given up trying to fact check Trump or even subject his statements to scrutiny. That's why he can say, as he did, that the crowd loved him during the debate, when there was no crowd, and the press just rolls with it.
JD Vance, on the other hand, is a liar. He knows what the truth is and has spoken it in the past. However, his avaricious ambition means that there are no rules that he won't violate to slake his thirst for power and adulation.
The question: Which is worse? is beside the point.
