Introducing President Mike Pence
President Mike Pence? Does Donald Trump even want to be president? An alleged inside account of Trump’s son approaching Gov. John Kasich’s camp on a possible vice presidency calls into question Trump Sr.’s interest level in governing, according to a report in The New York Times Magazine on Wednesday. “Did [Kasich] have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history? When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy. Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of? ‘Making America great again’ was the casual reply.” While Donald Jr. disputes the adviser’s account of the conversation, it would echo comments made by Trump’s chief strategist Paul Manafort in May: “He needs an experienced person to do the part of the job he doesn’t want to do. He seems himself more as the chairman of the board, than even the CEO, let alone the COO.”
