As I said, Vance was asked if we were in the end times, not saying that Vance or anything Vance did. Vance's rambling answer came up with the little part about his actions specifically being responsible without that being suggested.

Like even if he were directly asked if he was causing the end times, that answer would have been batshit crazy, but even worse a prominent thought on that front is "I might be causing the end times, and that would be a decent outcome".

I don't understand about what any of that is supposed to "correct" for anti-Trump coverage, the coverage was absolutely accurate. That wasn't some scenario where the reporting manipulated the context to make him look worse, it was a very accurate reflection of his sentiment. If his answer didn't have "if that leads to the end times, ok", then fine ,the answer is just a generic "I don't know, but I'm doing my best", but the "leads to the end times" in the context is hard to take any other way than the unstated rest of what he perceives as "God's work" leading to the end times being prominently in his thoughts.
