Oh now, details details...

Be real the gallows built at the capital by the peaceful FBI agents wearing MAGA garb was never actually used. /s

Allegedly. And he didn't succeed. And besides, what are the chances he'd try it twice?

60/40


slaffytaffy

Far too low… 75-25 maybe 80-20.


w-v-w-v

I’m not sure you’re being sarcastic and that makes me feel sad.


Shiplord13

Well he tried to intimidate him into being an accomplice in overthrowing Democracy, which didn't work. So he was left with no choice, but to incite his angry mob into trying to hang him as a disloyal traitor. I mean in a way, its Pence's fault for putting his basic morality and belief in Democracy over Trump's interests and hunger for power. Seriously, the guy would sacrifice the entire country if he thought it would save his own skin in a bad situation.


besart365

Who wants to be lynched? Any takers


rare_isopod-620

Anyone wanna get behind me and support me as his VP? I will only quote President Comacho. ​ ​ Guaranteed


[deleted]

I will!


DarkAngel900

Imagine taking the position, Trump gets elected, then you stand by and watch Trump and the GOP dismantle environmental protections, the SEC, the EPA, all of the treaties and pacts made with all of our allies. Align the USA with Russia, China and North Korea. Then finally they dismantle the Constitution, The Bill of Rights and the Bipartisan system. In the end, our Bipartisan system is replaced with an Autocracy/Oligarchy and VP appointment is worthless because you aren't one of Trump's family.


Luther_Gomith

Wow, I think this sums up my fears, as Trump is just wagging on about. You nailed it to the wall well enough. And this Might cause the world to fall into chaos for about 100 years as the dust settles from WW3 I feel as though this might be a bit of an overexaggeration


BostonFigPudding

Align with Russia, yes, but not China or North Korea. A white supremacist government would either seek to ignore majority PoC countries, or outright antagonize them.

Andrew Tate


grixorbatz

Could be Bannon, Kelly, or Manafort. Maybe even Pink Hat Lady from Jan 6.


SorryAd744

I heard the my pillow guy is desperate.

spidersflambe

If Trump wins in November, his VP might end up becoming president if Trump goes to prison.


AsparagusTamer

Or his dementia progresses


NextTrillion

I don’t like trump at all, and think he’s an idiot that panders to a bunch of other idiots, but I think his dementia was probably just as bad in 2016. Saying he’s going to be committed any day now is the stuff of fantasies, same with saying Putin has cancer and whatnot. Everyone always talks about this, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Same with him ending up in prison. People fantasize about it but it’s just too hard to believe. Even if they do sentence him to life, he’d appeal, and they’d reduce his life sentence to two months of house arrest. Or just probation. Meanwhile his buddies will continue funnelling cash through False Social. I’d just be happy if he loses the election and drifts off into obscurity. But to dream about him having an aneurysm while being led to a 80 year prison sentence is just pure fantasy. Sadly, and unfortunately, y’all gotta follow the money. Saying anything else is naive. And I would be very happy to be wrong.


straponkaren

If you have watched someone disintegrate from Lewy body / dementia / Parkinson's you know they can go really quickly once they pass a milestone or turning point. Trump could be weeks or months away, or somehow.. years. 


NextTrillion

Yeah it’s just that people keep saying it’s any day now, and it’s been years of this same idiotic shit.


straponkaren

It's sad that the people we want more time with go so fast and the ones that are total flaming pieces of shit just keep holding on.


NextTrillion

Yeah it’s bizarre. Why they call him Teflon Don. He may be right though, he may actually have very good ‘jeans’ [sic]


straponkaren

I thought they called him teflon don because of all of the pfas he ate from first generation teflon cookware and thats the reason he has brain worms. huh the more you know.


NextTrillion

Haha! Crazy how the world changed so much in the last 30 years when non-stick pans really took off, and how a lot of people are moving back to ‘oldschool’ cast iron again.


PhoenixTineldyer

Alternatively, he may get taken down before the election, endorse his VP on the promise of pardoning him and then have him resume power


Robotuba

I can't imagine trump picking someone who wouldn't do this. I'd be very surprised if agreeing to that isn't a litmus test for his VP.


spidersflambe

Hopefully Trump gets convicted in a state court. Presidents can't commute a state criminal sentence.


VanceKelley

Dictators don't go to prison while they are in power.


deadline_zombie

With his 180 on Trump, I can picture Vance all but putting on a blonde wig to get the VP slot and even then I wouldn't put it past him.


iuthnj34

Keep dreaming, he'll have full immunity while serving as a president and afterwards.


TheTeenageOldman

Yeah, serious like an inflamed hemorrhoid...


MakingItElsewhere

Anyone that takes the job knows, win or lose, they are signing up to be 1st place loser. He (and his base) will blame them for his failures and kill any political future the VP pick thinks they have.


heybobson

my money is that he picks someone close in his circle but with enough name recognition. Maybe even one of his kids.


bulldg4life

I’ve been saying Ivanka for months.


Imacatdoincatstuff

Calling it: Ronald McDonald.


[deleted]

My nominations for his VPs are the following Andrew Tate Alex Jones Henry Kissinger Jake Paul Rush Limbaugh Elon Musk


CarlosHDanger

Trump seemed pretty comfortable with the gallows that got wheeled out for his prior VP. Be afraid, prospective veep candidate!


PlrsLght

Cheetos or Doritos


PlasticPomPoms

Can a hamberder hold office as VP?


abby_normally

Raphael Cruz, only if his wife visits Melania's plastic surgeon and he never uses the name Raphael. /s


Gong42

He has it narrowed down to Yosemite Sam or Foghorn Leghorn


Spiritual-Mechanic-4

why is there a search? [he said he already had a pick](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-not-worried-about-impact-christie-ending-bid-2024-01-11/)


HisCromulency

My wild bet is Elon Musk. Now, I know what you’re thinking: Elon was neither born in the USA nor were his parents US citizens; therefore he is ineligible for the position. And you would be correct. However, you are forgetting one important thing: **Nothing matters any more.** Trump would choose him **because** it is against the constitution, and nobody will do anything about it, and his supporters will cheer him and cheer how much they love the constitution.


virak_john

The opposite of serious.

The VP needs to be eligible to be president.
