Donald Trump Jr. recently claimed that his father, Donald Trump, was eyeing Tucker Carlson as a possible 2024 vice president pick, RadarOnline.com has learned.

In a surprising development to come after ex-President Trump won the Iowa Caucus in a landslide victory on Monday night, Don Jr. appeared on Newsmax to discuss potential running mates for his father for the general election later this year.

Yes, I know this is a POS news source. It does seem to be on-brand for the entire trump family, though.

    Jr is just trying to help Tucker remain relevant there’s just zero chance this happens.

    The veepstakes chatter has all been on women, mostly Kristi Noem the governor of South Dakota, Sarah Huckabee Sanders who is now governor of Arkansas somehow or Elise Stefanik a random NY congresswoman who has been sucking up to Trump for a long time.

        This is where I’m at, I’m voting for Biden obviously but all the folks that are super confident he’s gonna win confuse the hell out of me.

        Yeah this combination terrifies me. Both of these dipshits have a lot of overlapping supporters but not all of them overlap and the supporters of both tend to be extremists that will be motivated go out and vote and then do terrible things if they don’t win.

    He sees Carlson as weak and easily influenced. Carlson isnt stupid. Carlson has been typecast as an outsider. Carlson has been on a lot of JRE & friends podcasts which have a stronghold in modern media that caters to young men, conspiracy theorists, and GOP boot lickers.

    I think Bow Tie Tuck is a better pick than many realize.

      Great analysis.

      It’s so sunny they see him as an outsider. He’s the heir to the Tyson fortune. A nepotistic success story straight from the trump playbook.

    “He gives the best blowjobs,” Trump Senior explains, “the greatest most bestest bmowjobs. Better even than Pence did.”

    A crazy-ass VP candidate for a crazy-ass presidential candidate. Makes sense.

      They’re trying to promote eugenics and ethno nationalism… because if these two scrapes from the bottom of the genetic barrel get to come to power, I’m pretty sure people globally would instantly become pro-white genocide.

      Fuck, I’d line up in front of the incinerator myself.
