I'm going to predict Trump picks Tulsi Gabbard as his VP

Why? She checks every psycho box and Trump cult members love her. As a former Democrat, Gabbard could be an effective messenger for disenchanted Democrats and independents who aren’t yet sold on Trump. Gabbard would also bring youth to the ticket.

1. She maintained much secretiveness . . .

. . . about her personal life and about her one and only adviser. I do not think there is any way her aloofness will pass muster with the public.

On the plus side from his perspective, but, she’s also insanely egotistical and will definitely want to take him down as soon as God forbid elected.

She is very power hungry and very persuasive. Be careful with this one. I could not believe she got elected here . Attended a community meeting and I watched her woo everybody when Some of us knew perfectly well what she was all about. Ugh.

But I think Donald would be looking for someone much more pliable than Tulsi. Could he be fooled? Oh yes, he could.

4. Hate to say it, but, Trump has an aversion to both men and women

with acne scars. Little things like that wouldn’t even bear mentioning, however, Trump is a major lookist- judges everyone else’s looks harshly.

Trump refused to appoint Nikki Haley secretary of state over her skin, book claims

https://www.yahoo.com/news/complexion-problem-kept-trump-choosing-165410427.html

“Trump often candidly criticized women politicians for their looks, saying Nikki Haley has a 'complexion problem' and claiming Nancy Pelosi got 'plastic surgery”

11. Well, it's crying a shame that not everyone is a perfect physical specimen like Dear Leader Kim Don Un.

Tulsi wasn’t there, but Scott, Vance, and a few others were.

13. I predict he fires one of his lawyers Friday afternoon.

but I also predicted Brexit would never ever ever happen, so guessing isn't really my thing. But I've just have this feeling since the gag order fines came down that Fri 10th, one of his lawyers will get their walking papers.

As to trump's running mate this go around, hell... I doubt he has any real firm grasp on who it is. I figure he's just throwing names out there to see which one sounds On Brand.
