I see one of two things happening now:

Jerry, my boss will work hard to come up with a paper trail and try to get me fired by second guessing and blowing every little thing I do wrong, real or imagined, out of proportion.

Or the VP told Jerry that I am doing a good job and leave me alone.
You can't possibly be naïve enough as to think that it was going to end any other way, did you?

Start looking for a job, now.

Is there anyway you can get transferred to a different manager?

Well gosh darn, good luck getting out of that hole.

You're either a really bad troll or ignorant.

Jerry's going to fire you and the VP's going to back him up.

Update your resume. Now.

Yes, we need some back story on this character, and the new character of the big boss.

Looking forward to the next installment.

Are you seriously so stuck on some fantasy that you would even consider the VP told Jerry to leave you alone? It doesn't work that way.

And Jerry doesn't have to work hard to come up with anything. You've proven yourself to be a problem employee by going over his head.

Stick a fork in it, you're done.
