President Donald Trump said that he’ll stand by his man Mike Pence in the 2020 campaign.

Trump said in an interview on Fox News on Friday that Vice President Pence will remain on the Republican ticket. “He’s our man, 100%,” Trump said.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has been discussed in media outlets as a possible replacement, given her recent book tour during which she engaged in a spirited defense of Trump.

Trump put those rumors to rest Friday. “Nikki would be great but Mike Pence has done a phenomenal job as vice president,” he said. “He’s our guy. He’s my friend.”

1. Which means he's doomed.

[tblue37]

20. +1. nt

[ewagner]

21. +1000 Kiss of Death....

plus....

Nikki is cuter...

[JDC]

28. Exactly

[tclambert]

29. Maybe he's going to replace him with Ivanka.

Perhaps the real reason Trump changed his official residence to Florida is so he can appoint one of his kids (or Jared) as his new running mate. (The Vice President must come from a different state than the President. One of those obscure Constitutional provisions.)

30. That was my first thought

when I heard Trump changed his residence.

[Botany]

2. AKA Pence is gone

n/t

[dewsgirl]

3. Which tells me he's a goner.

[Traildogbob]

4. 100 percent

Pence WILL be on the ticket, with Nikki Halley as his VP. Trump will be a weight around their necks, will be given full immunity to leave, Pence Pardens, and Russia continues in control with Fox. MAGA! 🖕🏽Fuck the country I served. A real shithole of a country, and the shit within the hole is the GOP and Fox.🐘🇷🇺💩🔥🇺🇸

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Exactly what I was gonna say!

[Traildogbob]

12. God's second choice

The cult will only get bigger. We will need more baby cages tho. After birth, they are as useless as an unpackaged extremely rare comic book. That Jesus ticket with Fox and Putin, (and Tulsi) will be impossible to beat. Democracy is dead, just like all the soldiers that died for the dream and promise.

6. "I don't know that gentleman as he works in another part of the building."

Anybody seen the Vegas odds on this?

I bet they just changed. You're expendible, Mikey.

[Brainfodder]

7. I love the pessimism, Mike we aint even glad we knew of ya, that is a pathetic legacy!

/well earned by the ignoramus!

[Maeve]

8. Watch your back, Mikey!

[lagomorph777]

9. Of course he is; Sondland made clear that Pence is part of the Ukraine plot.

So he's very much Trump's (Putin's) man.

[gab13by13]

10. Trump says that Pence is the man because,

Nikki Haley turned him down.

[Nitram]

11. Ofcourse he's "our man." He knows too much to fire.

[irisblue]

13. 1944 FDR replaced Wallace with Harry S Truman, last time a VP was replaced

Even in '12, Woodward, himself, published that Obama would replace Biden with HRC.

Course FDR was an honorable American and a true POTUS, not a client/property of Putin.


And of course apricothellbeast is an unstable ass

[montana_hazeleyes]

14. Looks like we mostly had the same thought. lol

When I saw the title my thought was, Well, he's done!

[mpcamb]

15. Ok, Mikey, you can take that to the bank!

[malthaussen]

16. So, Mr Trump is going to fire Mr Pence?

Who gets the job, David Duke?

[eppur_se_muova]

17. Was he waving a large brown envelope when he said it ?

Did it have "evidence" written on it in fat black Sharpie ?

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Good. Everything Trump touches..

..you know the rest.

[Moe Joe MoFo]

19. Start Packin,' Mike

The Don just kissed you on the forehead!

[Hekate]

22. Uh-oh. Mother better start airing out their old house back home!

[machoneman]

23. So says Target#1 to Toady#1!

LOL

[NCjack]

24. Nikki, get on your running shoes -- looks like you got the VP slot for 2020 campaign. nt

[usaf-vet]

25. Oh I'm going to bet on that. What are the chances Trump is lying?

Pence better gather up mother and start looking for a new place to live and haunt.

[sandensea]

26. Sure. Putin hand-picked him

So we can only infer the boss hasn't changed his mind.

"Pence is easy. You throw a little money at him (or his dimwit brother), and he be gud boy."

[C_U_L8R]

27. Don't go fishing, Mike.
