Trump's Obsession with Hot Wives Narrows Down V.P. Picks

Trump’s search for a vice president pick is heating up as the Republican National Convention draws near with contenders recently receiving vetting materials, according to multiple outlets that have shared the new nightmare short list.

Team Trump has officially requested materials from North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and Senators J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio, according to ABC, with inquiries sent to Senators Tim Scott and Tom Cotton, Representatives Elise Stefanik and Byron Donalds, and former Trump HUD Secretary Ben Carson. Cue the tea leaves:

“Trump likes people who are rich and have hot wives,” a source unaffiliated with Trump’s campaign but reportedly closely following the veep search told Politico’s Playbook on Thursday. If wife hotness is a major factor in Trump’s search, Stefanik may still be in the running on the technicality that she’s the wife—although lacking in the platinum-blonde, spray-tanned aesthetic common among women in Trump’s orbit.

Trump plans to announce his choice for vice president at the RNC in July. And while Trump is reportedly still working from a “fluid” list of prospective candidates that changes day to day and the Trump campaign hasn’t offered any insights, a request for vetting materials is as strong an indicator as it gets—stronger, at least, than guessing whose wife Trump thinks is hotter. Regardless of who he picks, Trump’s short list is a mishmash of far-right figures hiring white supremacists, pushing bigoted policies, and floating racist conspiracy theories that are a threat to democracy.

many others did. And vice president Pence was poor or at least not rich in the articles thoughts. Where do these reporters get this stuff. They must be bored to constantly write about trump 24/7.

Debate #1 in 20 days. What is his campaign theme? Has he had time to study the basics?

He really should look no further than Boebert and Greene. I hear one squeezes into a bikini and the other's just a good squeeze.

8. If that's the list, then it will make the Biden campaign's job of beating him easier.

Losers, all as far as national politics goes. With Rubio, he might as well be Ted Cruz. But God, I hope he picks Stefanik. I don't think there's a Republican out there better at inserting her foot into her mouth when it's open than Elise Stefanik. Or Donalds, for that matter. He doesn't have a clue how offensive he is to black voters and he keeps talking anyway.
