What Trump's Disastrous VP Pick says about his Decision-making

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The vast ego and self-absorption of Donald Trump have been on display in three presidential campaigns. What’s apparent is that “the Donald” has the attention span of a hummingbird and a shallow understanding of deep issues.

Deficiencies of Trump as decision-maker are nowhere more apparent than in his selection of a vice-presidential nominee. The Trump campaign has found itself mired in controversy at statements by J.D. Vance. America is run by “childless cat ladies,” who are “miserable in their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.”

Such sentiments, along with Vance’s proposal to “fire every single midlevel bureaucrat” in the federal government, have become fodder for the media and Democrats. The Trump-Vance ticket has earned the label “weird,” attached by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and gone viral.

By contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris has managed to be deliberate while having only three weeks to vet contenders and pick her own running mate. The Democratic nominee is interviewing the finalists, who can expect a stiff go-round. A former prosecutor, Harris showed her chops in Senate interrogation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh during the Trump Administration.'

1. Yes, 'Cat Lady Vance' is going to have to live this down for a very long time. Obviously tRUMP didn't

do much vetting, eh, or it just goes to show how incapable he truly is. He's so narrow minded that this is the candidate he picked, to go against formerly Pres. Biden and now Kamala and her running mate? He picked a candidate that closely resembles him, and perhaps he picked him for Ohio votes. I don't know. IMHO, I think tRUMP screwed up, but I'm not going to tell him. You couldn't anyways, since tRUMP is always 'right'! Sarcasm here of course.

2. what Vance illustrates (again) is that the chief consideration is

found - in giving the middle finger (ever and always), to the 'opposition'. It's a gut level MO. And a signature move by this rather limited political populist.

(imagine if Trump were actually smart - or a good politician? but then - without the middle finger, and the overt nasty character - is there really much else there for the fans to adore?)

3. He lied to us (again) when he said he'll only hire the best people.

And the GOP doesn’t give us the best people. They’re criminals, they’re rapists…they’re weird.
