He won't need one as he will be on Kanye's ticket as his VP 

Y'know, people laugh at the idea that Donald Trump----DONALD TRUMP!----would ever consider taking the number two role, behind Kanye West.

 

EXCEPT!

 

Vladimir Putin, a man Trump seems to admire and idolize, took the number two job behind Medvedev as a way to get around Russia's term limits. He put his own personal puppet in place until he could get the law changed, thereby opening the door to becoming the dictator he is today!

 

Donald Trump becoming Kanye West's VP seems like a crazy, incredibly unlikely notion........... until you realize there's a real life example of just such a thing happening,........ right there in Russia today!

 

If you think such notions are absurd, just remember..........

 

Donald Trump got elected President of the United States!

There is the possibility that DeSantis and Trump will make a deal. Trump will withdraw and DeSantis will pardon him. If Trump thinks he is the weaker candidate or his advisors do, I think there is a big chance such a quid quo pro might happen.

 

It would be illegal but the GOP controlled House would not impeach him.

I think not.

I assume DeSantis knows what happened to Gerald Ford.

Nixon did not have a cult following. I think neither can win a presidential election without the other on side and one of them has to give.

You're forgetting how passionate the opposition to Trump is. Trump's crimes are much more serious. To pardon him signals support for authoritarianism.

For DeSantis that would be a feature.

People are gutting  prematurely overly excited  by that trumpist demagogue. It is way way too early for his coronation. He is untested.

Incredibly, his security detail didn't check the guy out and tell Trump.

Desantis doesn't have the smell of a winner, IMO.  More like a New Jersey governor from the bad old days, soon to be publicly shamed.  Matt Gaetz had his case dismissed, I guess Matt's dad owes Ronnie a favor or two. 

A lot of long knives out on the right for the WH run.  We'll see lots of conservative carnage in the coming year, but Fox etc will not carry it, there will be 24/7 about a certain laptop.

IMO the top dogs of the pack are Pompeo and Flynn.

It really doesn't matter if he knew who Fuentes was or not. Trump knows that West is an avowed anti-semite.

   He is extremely lazy, read only tweets if even that, has a very short attention span, thinks he knows everything while knowing very little about anything except swindles and tax avoidance . . .

He had Rittenhouse visit him down there too, supposedly they watched that DeSouza movie together.  I think we haven't seen the last of little Kyle.

I agree it's possible, but I can't see Trump's ego allowing that.

Don't think Flynn - too associated, correctly, with the crazy right. If you are crazy right you need as a minimum the ability to wax lyrical and win over an audience like Trump. He hasn't got that.

[ozimoron]

On CNN TV just now. a reporter asked Biden what he thought about Trump having dinner with a white supremacist.

 

answer: "You don't want to hear what I think".

 

Trump would have used it as an opportunity to launch an attack. Biden just lets him dig his own grave.

 

If there was ever any debate that Trump supporters have to be racist to vote for him, this settles it.

Nick Fuentes Turns on Donald Trump, Calls for New 2024 Candidate

I don't understand this fixation white supremacists have with Nick Fuentes. I was surprised to learn today that he's just a 24 year old kid.  Who allows themselves to be led around  by a 24 year old kid with no life experience and no education? Brain dead morons.

According to this Trump found him likable...................lol

 

Trump at one point turned to Ye and said, "I really like this guy. He gets me," according to the source.

He's like 11 years too young to even run for Congress. They have that rule for a reason.

F---ing nightmare’: Trump team does damage control after he dines with Ye and white supremacist Nick Fuentes

 

"Trump then grew animated about Ye challenging him. “You’re not going to win. You can’t beat me,” Trump told Ye, the source said. “Nick, you work for the guy, and just because you work for him, you’re going to tell him he can beat me? You just got finished telling me I was the best president ever.” ????????????

I was thinking of the dogfight that will be the Republican Primary.  He's a bully, a miltary-type bully, he could intimidate his way to the nomination.  Check out vids of these shows he puts on with evangelical preachers, scary stuff.  But yeah, he's too extreme to win a legit election. I hope.

Defending fascist trump is a rough job but someone's got to do it. Or do they? We just had Thanksgiving. Might I suggest the time has come for Republicans to fully drop the Turkey, AKA The Biggest Loser.

Given Trump's own history of racism and anti-semitism it's a fair assumption that he found much in common with the juvenile Fuentes.
