Donald Trump Jr. says his father may tap Tucker Carlson as running mate

ZERO HEDGE

President Trump’s son, Donald Trump junior has said that there is a good chance his father may choose Tucker Carlson as his running mate.

Speculation over who Trump will pick ramped up last week after he said that he has already made a decision on who his running mate will be.

When asked by Newsmax if the rumours of Carlson being the one had any validity, Trump Jr. said “I would love to see that happen. That would certainly be a contender.”

“That clearly would be on the table, right.” he continued, adding “I mean they’re very friendly, I think they agree on virtually all of these things,” including “stopping the never-ending war.”

Trump Jr. suggested several other names including Ben Carson and even Ron DeSantis, who Trump continues to call ‘DeSanctimonious’.:

 One person Trump Jr. was sure won’t be a contender is Nikki Haley.

“I think she’s being funded by Democrats, right? I mean, you see that. She’s got Democrat megadonors funding her campaign. The people who are getting her gains in New Hampshire are all Democrats,” he added.

“So, I probably see that as part of that sort of globalist Democrat, RINO tactic of dragging this out to make it harder for Trump to win a general,’ Trump Jr. further noted.
