[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-19 I predict trump may need to make Don Jr the VP. Here’s why: Calculated Risk! Donald Trump excels at taking them — the wins are big enough to increase the gamble. But he also hedges his bets. During his presidency he would float 2 answers to problems all the time, one would be loud and boastful trump, the other an escape hatch in case the 1st was debunked. Even when all the responses were lies, he often had contradictory responses loaded and ready. Open Fighting Trump pits everyone around him against everyone else — rule through chaos. The 2024 Gamble Trump has consolidated power and allegiance at an unprecedented scale. Through years of abuse he has a willing media and ratings hungry media addicted to his antics. Wholesale brokering of the country to foreign bidders has kept his bank accounts flush. But all of this is not enough and his mental abilities are failing — biggly. Live by the sword, die by the sword. If you are Trump that constant fighting protects you as long as you retain ultimate power at the top. But with failing mental ability you are an easy target and the list of people who want to take the throne are seemingly endless, You cannot trust anyone. Any VP pick you make just might be setting the table for your removal. Trumps instincts will force him to go with Don Jr. he can control him and count on that ability to control him. He is already showing his hand with how he is fucking with the GOP and who might get the tap on the shoulder. He hinted at his staged event in Detroit that Byron Donalds and Ben Carson are potential picks. While it is obvious he’d go through with those picks like untaxed tips in Nevada, it demonstrates the formula. Lead everybody along and wear them down, then make sure he is protected and strengthened by his choice. The weaker he gets — and he is getting weaker — the more he will be forced to go with Don Jr, and he has strung so many investors in his campaign from the upper class that they will sanction the choice to protect their investments. If the Heritage Foundation lackey gets the pick — will Saudi investors get their deals honored, what about the Russians or the Chinese (tic toc deals). Divided allegiances, cut throat infighting, and all his other tricks are what keep him afloat. he cannot make VP pick that benefits his enemies, and everyone around him is a potential enemy.
