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.
Two words: McCain/Palin
Hmm. Sarah Palin is only 60. Dan Quayle is older, at 77.
But it is possible that JD, at 39, might be their illegitimate love child.
Pretty sure Vance is the fly from the last VP debate.
As the prophecy foretold
Don’t underestimate Vance’s maniacal potential. He’s definitely more of a Cheney than a Quayle.
“You say tomatoe, I say tomatoe”
EDIT: Damnit. I got the 32yo joke wrong. It was Potatoe… 🫠
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.
JD is doing his best to upstage that act.
Really too bad the theater went to the dreamloungers. He’s too distracted to remember his lines.
Ugh. Up until he chose Palin, I would’ve been fine with McCain winning. I was for Obama, not against McCain, and then he went and f***ed it all up.

i love how vance went from never-trumper to fellating trump with the insatiable appetite of a pitbull in a NICU, even knowing full well trump would throw him out the window like a big mac wrapper without a second thought
There’s an axiom in the workplace. “A’s” hire other A’s, and B’s hire C’s. Kennedy picked LBJ, one of the savviest wheeler dealers in the Senate for his Veep; Nixon got Spiro Agnew, whose main qualification was that he was a pit bull.
Trump chose Vance and Pence for the same reason; neither could be a threat. Both took the job because they knew they’d never rise higher on their own.
LBJ was in on the hit.
What, he was.
There’s a non-zero chance that old, fat, hateful, felonious rapist dies in the next four years. There’s no way he could become president any other way. It’s not like the weird couch fucker had dignity before this.
they’re going to need to hire 24/7 security for his grave to keep people from shitting on it
Don’t tell them that, you’ll ruin the party I’m planning.
He already has the world’s best 24/7 security and people are still getting shots off at him. That grave is toast.
with the insatiable appetite of a pitbull in a NICU
I’m dying 💀
Big Mac wrapper really got me, beautiful imagery.
Really great writing OP
Don’t big macs come in boxes?
Isn’t a box just a cardboard wrapper?
I’m happy to say I have no clue, never had a big mac
I mean they have at least enough impact for your followers to try and murder your last one…
Well, regardless of who Kamala taps as VP, I’m pretty sure we don’t have to worry about them fucking the couch in the Oval Office…
So I’d say it matters.
Well now she could choose Vance…
He’s still with trump…
True, but for how much longer? We can only hope that trump goes through a few VPs before November.
Kind of funny since he’s currently running against a current vice president.
Yeah? Let’s ask John McCain.
That was bad, asked if JD Vance was ready to be president, Trump says he doesn’t matter.
To Trump, the question is absurd. To a narcissist, the world doesn’t exist or matter without him, so what is the point of planning for after he dies?
Dude was almost assassinated and says his pick as successor doesn’t matter. Dawg…
The weirdo almost assassinates himself with every hamburger he eats
Everyone is saying that donnie is too old to run and should just step down. After this, they are saying it even more.
Well they were saying that, and they still are too.
They used to say that. They still do, but they used to, too.
At the end he said, “if you like me i win. If you don’t like me i don’t win.”
I was shocked that he actually appeared to be living in reality for a moment.
This statement really captures how he has officially become the sad clown. Clowns are such weird people. To have one be so sad, and also so old, is very unappealing.
He’s old and weird.
The best endorsement this poor guy can get is “he’s not that important anyway” 😂😂 Old Weirdo accidentally gave his running mate the sickest burn of them all lol
Clearly, the VP of an 80-year-old presidential candidate isn’t a position that might come with some authority down the road. The Oval Office couches are perfectly safe.
The VP actually has a great deal of Constitutional power already, as the Constitution declares them to be President of the Senate, with the power to cast a tie-breaking vote. Their ability to be Presiding Officer of the Senate, I would argue makes the VP more powerful than a normal Senator. The fact that modern VPs choose not to use this power, I think demonstrates that the VP actually has a lot more power than people realize.
Grouchy old groper is embarrassed by carpet-bagging couch-fucker. News at noon.
Don’t forget dolphin-wanker
Laughs in McCain
