While condolences for former Vice President Dick Cheney have poured in from both sides of the aisle, President Donald Trump has not addressed his death on Tuesday nor shared anything about it among his many posts on social media.

Neither has Vice President JD Vance. The White House offered a muted reaction, including a perfunctory response from press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who told reporters at Tuesday’s press briefing that Trump was “aware” of Cheney’s death and noted that flags have been lowered to half-staff.

The reaction was in keeping with Trump’s long-standing disdain for the former vice president, which he voiced long before he ever campaigned and won on dismantling the GOP establishment at the crux of Cheney’s ascent to power.

“I didn’t like Cheney when he was a vice president. I don’t like him now,” Trump said in a 2011 video taped from his Trump Tower desk.

Cheney, a hardline conservative, endorsed Trump’s 2016 run for president, but crossed the aisle in 2024 to endorse Kamala Harris.
