Trump says ‘you’re voting for the president … you’re voting for me’ when asked about vice-presidential pick
Donald Trump has said that vice presidential picks have “virtually no impact” on elections when asked about JD Vance’s fitness for office, in an apparent attempt to downplay his running mate’s role on the Republican ticket.
Trump made the comments during a combative interview at the annual convention of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) in Chicago. Asked by the Fox News journalist Harris Faulkner whether Vance would be ready to take over “on day one, if he has to be”, Trump avoided answering directly and instead downplayed the significance of the Vance’s role.
I have a hard time believing Trump would be the pushover Bush was. Though he is easily manipulated, so maybe.
He’ll support any policies that will yield him money or fame. The entirety of his person is for sale.
But he would also lose his mind if everyone was saying that JD Vance and Stephen Miller were really running the show like everyone did with Cheney and Rove.
