Donald Trump won't commit to supporting Mike Pence if he runs for president in 2024

Trump said he would have to evaluate the future GOP field first, but he would give Pence "strong consideration"

"SNIP.....


President Donald Trump declined to endorse Vice President Mike Pence should he mount his own bid for the White House in 2024.

"You're talking about a long time. You can't put me in that position," Trump said Friday when asked in an interview with "Fox & Friends" if Pence would have his "automatic endorsement" if he followed in his boss' footsteps.

While Trump said he would have to evaluate the field of Republicans in five years, he added that Pence is a "very, very outstanding person" and that he would give his potential candidacy "strong consideration."

Pence, the former governor of Indiana, has not explicitly indicated he would launch a run for the Oval Office in 2024, although speculation has swirled about his future political ambitions. He has remained deferential in regard to Trump, serving as an obedient deputy who has remained quietly on the sidelines — but always on message — to a president who values loyalty above all else.

1. Ooh! I hope that crushes Pence's tiny little heart!

That would make MY heart soar!

[FakeNoose]

2. With any luck they'll have adjoining prison cells by then

Or the alternative:

[superpatriotman]

3. It will be Ivanka's turn then

How could he disappoint his little love?

[thegoose]

4. Because Fuckstick doesn't intend to leave

Hopefully, he won't even still be alive then. Bloated piece of shit.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. + 1

[Different Drummer]

12. This.

He can't be trusted to honor the 22nd Amendment.

[Blue Owl]

5. Pence is a candidate only a mother could love

n/t

[JDC]

6. Pence will go down in history as a nothing more than a toadie shit eater

And he will deserve it.

[Fullduplexxx]

7. His bail out plan is to resign and have pence pardon him

He'll wait on that before endorsing him

[kysrsoze]

8. He probably thinks Assface Jr. would/should succeed him.

[onecaliberal]

9. He wants shit stain jr to run.

[JCMach1]

11. Ivanka was the plan all along

[NCjack]

13. Most likely, Trump is planning to run for 3rd term, to run out the clock

on statute of limitations for his crimes. If GOP retains Congress, they will make him eligible for 3rd term.

14. Hmmph. And after all that good lovin' and smoochin' Pence laid on trump's ass...

I wouldn't worry about a "commitment" though. Anyone who believes Comrade Fishylips' "commitments" is too stupid to be president anyway. And Pence is ALREADY too stupid to be president!

[stuffmatters]

15. Trump will back candidate who pays him the most. True to form.

[nolabear]

16. He was picked because he's the only thing (or used to be) scarier than 45.

How many Democrats have said "Oh no! We don't want Pence as President!" True dat. But he's no longer useful in any way.
