Representative Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), the vaping congressman in the pocket of big vape, today blew a sick cloud of e-ndorsement over the Donald Trump campaign.

Hunter tells The Politico that he likes Trump in part because he’s sure Trump doesn’t care about him at all, which seems as good a reason as any to support him.

In an interview on Wednesday, Hunter told POLITICO that Trump has the strength needed for the job. “We don’t need a policy wonk as president. We need a leader as president,” Hunter said, adding that he has told his colleagues much of the same thing. “I’m in, and I’ve been in,” he said in a telephone interview.

Noting that he and Trump see eye-to-eye on a number of issues, including border security, manufacturing and national security, Hunter said he also likes Trump for another reason. “I don’t think Trump wants my endorsement,” Hunter said, while also remarking that he has not heard from the candidate himself. “And that’s one reason why I like him,” he added. Trump said earlier Wednesday that “endorsements mean very little.”

Hunter, who got his first job in politics when he took over his father’s congressional seat in 2012, says he’s liked Trump from the beginning—if you can ever believe it.
