He’s trying to time it for immediately after Harris announces her VP pick. He wants to steal the news cycle from her.
I think the funny part is that he’s hated by both sides. A new Ted Cruz.
Well, if a loss gets pinned on him, he’ll be given the Liz Cheney/Pence treatment.
Is it because of all the couch fuckin’?
And the frogs.
Schumer is goading Trump into keeping him. He knows Trump is too prideful to let a Democrat be right about something.
This is actually a brilliant strategy then. It’s a lose-lose.
Plus any legal cases of you can’t change your nominee from Biden, weaken a lot if Dump switches his VP. Of course any case against not letting them switch out Biden is already dead in the water if heard by a rational non corrupt court… So nevermind actually
They’d argue that the people don’t directly choose the VP just the presidential nominee. In fact Vance wasn’t even on the ticket during the primaries.
Good point
He’s cracking yall
I love how they’re fucking with him. It’s going to cause him to do more silly shit.
Replacing Vance now would also undermine any argument they might make about switching the names on ballots for the Democrats. Those aren’t valid, anyway–Biden wasn’t the official nominee until the convention says so; nothing was locked in–but they would now lose the possibility of using it rhetorically.

I think you’re over-estimating their commitment to logic, consistency or reality.
They don’t, but it also has to sink in with the general public. When both sides are being switched out, there’s a very obvious argument against the claim.
That makes sense but MAGA has always leaned hard on the “but when I do it, it’s OK” rhetoric.
Biden wasn’t the official nominee until the convention
Even then, nothing prohibits him (or Vance, realistically) from resigning.
This is mostly just funny to watch.
There is a legal point where states won’t accept changes to the ballots. Also a practical one where there isn’t time to print new ones. Neither point has passed, of course, but Trump was trying to imply it was.
If Biden died on November 4th, he’d remain on the ballot the next day and - if he won the majority of the EC - Harris would be the presumptive President Elect on November 6th. If Vance resigned as VP, we’d see the same results under a Trump win. We have a clear order of succession and mechanisms for appointing replacements to downticket slots like VP per the 25th amendment.
The absolute worst case scenario is that Trump would force Vance to resign and then be stuck with a House/Senate picking his VP for him. But since he’s not even the President-Elect at the moment I don’t think that’s actually an issue.
never interrupt the enemy when he’s making a mistake
So, now that JD has provided contacts to the Silicon Valley billionaires and proven to be an iron ball on Trumps feet, he can be replaced?
I wonder how much dirty laundry he culd wash from all the stuff he has already seen inside the campaign…
Nope he made his bed, time to lie in it.
Or he could sleep on the couch…
Sticky.
Can’t wait for Trump to come out and say his campaign should be reimbursed for all dumbass merch they had made as well. What a clownshow.
My Pillow Guy for VP. C’mon it would be so much fun!
Couch-fucker to That Pillow Fucker… Yes i like this timeline
Right up until he gets elected… Then it’s not as funny anymore…
Hell yeah, that would be hilarious. Mike Lindell, the Jesse Ventura we have at home.
If you’re from MN they’re both at home!
I feel like that’s kind of harsh, to you know, the former governor. What has Lindell accomplished other than quitting crack a couple times
And Jesse might have some legit ailments from the military. He’s gone a bit cuckoo, but can still remain coherent.
Plot twist, that’s who Trump was actually trying to get but there was a misunderstanding when he asked for “that guy with the fucking cushions”.
“i said fucking cushions, not cushion fucker!”
It’s clear Trump picked Vance to counter Harris, so if she’s no longer the VP side of the ticket, Vance is literally pointless. Ohio was going to vote Trump regardless, Vance doesn’t bring any added votes that way.
He needs to wait and see who Harris picks as V.P. though.
According to Schumer, he only has 10 days to choose a replacement, which would elapse before the Dem convention.
That deadline is for Ohio ballot access, pretty sure they’d bend the rules for Trump.
Yep, pretty much every time we’ve assumed the rules are black and white, trump finds and exploits the grey. He’s pretty skilled there, in a slimeball sort of way.
Hey, with all this talk of unity and how the Democrats should be picking a Republican to run on some kind of centrist wet-dream ticket, how about the “liberal media” starts beating the drum for donnie to kick JD off the ticket and add someone like AOC to the ticket?
You know: for “unity”. For the tone - the Republicans should be utterly capitulating to the Democratic Party.
Why does no one in the corporate media ever suggest it is the Republican Party that should cave to the leftist majority in this country, but instead, the reverse is something that comes up. All. The. Time.
Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, denied the reports in a statement to Newsweek on Tuesday, "President Trump is thrilled with the choice he made with Senator Vance, and they are the perfect team to take back the White House. And any reporting to the contrary is nothing but ridiculous fake news from either nonexistent sources or individuals who have no idea what’s going on.
Saving this quote for when Trump replaces Vance.
They’ll just yell at you and call you “fake news”
that cheung dude is hilarious. it’s like exactly what trump would say except at twice the writing proficiency. so 6th grade level instead of 3rd grade
…and the same people who call the Democratic Party “chaotic” for replacing Biden with Kamala will have no problem shifting gears to adore whatever wretched troll they scrounge up to replace Vance.
