That's why Sarah Palin disappeared during Trump's presidency. At the beginning, she made a big deal out of visiting the White House and was a big supporter who was all set to be a gadfly for four years. Then, she vanished. It's my hypothesis that either:

1) Trump thought she was stealing too much of his spotlight, so he ghosted her, or
2) Trump hit on her in some way, and even she couldn't stand the thought of putting up with that.

Trump will never select a flame-thrower like Kari Lake or MTG for VP. Those two would hog too much of the spotlight and he can't stand that. I can't see him going along with DeSantis either, since DeSantis has his own loyal army.

Only one narcissist at a time can inhabit Trumpworld. He needs another boring fly-rest like Pence.
