What Trump's Disastrous VP Pick says about his Decision-making
The vast ego and self-absorption of Donald Trump have been on display in three presidential campaigns. Whats apparent is that the Donald has the attention span of a hummingbird and a shallow understanding of deep issues.
Deficiencies of Trump as decision-maker are nowhere more apparent than in his selection of a vice-presidential nominee. The Trump campaign has found itself mired in controversy at statements by J.D. Vance. America is run by childless cat ladies, who are miserable in their own lives and the choices that theyve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.
Such sentiments, along with Vances proposal to fire every single midlevel bureaucrat in the federal government, have become fodder for the media and Democrats. The Trump-Vance ticket has earned the label weird, attached by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and gone viral.
By contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris has managed to be deliberate while having only three weeks to vet contenders and pick her own running mate. The Democratic nominee is interviewing the finalists, who can expect a stiff go-round. A former prosecutor, Harris showed her chops in Senate interrogation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh during the Trump Administration.'

(24,094 posts)do much vetting, eh, or it just goes to show how incapable he truly is. He's so narrow minded that this is the candidate he picked, to go against formerly Pres. Biden and now Kamala and her running mate? He picked a candidate that closely resembles him, and perhaps he picked him for Ohio votes. I don't know. IMHO, I think tRUMP screwed up, but I'm not going to tell him. You couldn't anyways, since tRUMP is always 'right'! Sarcasm here of course.

(imagine if Trump were actually smart - or a good politician? but then - without the middle finger, and the overt nasty character - is there really much else there for the fans to adore?)
