https://www.rawstory.com/trump-mar-a-lago-2669314905/Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) revealed Wednesday that former President Donald Trump had spoken with a gardener at Mar-a-Lago to help him decide on a vice presidential running mate
Vance made the admission during a Michigan rally after he was asked how he would handle disagreements with Trump.
"You know, it's funny, when the president, the only conversation that he and I ever had about whether I might become his vice presidential nominee was the Saturday before the convention," Vance recalled. "And you know what the president told me? He said that he talked to everybody about who his vice presidential nominee should be."
"And I think that's one of the great things, is he's willing to take feedback," he continued. "And he even said that he was talking to the Mar-a-Lago gardener about who the vice presidential nominee should be."
Okay I totally believe this could have happened. But I have a couple of questions.
1) Why would Trump tell Vance this?
2) Why would Vance think this is a good thing?
3) Was Vance even the gardener's pick?
The crazy just gets crazier.

OP
Maybe he's talking about the kid with the lawnmower. He can't distinguish reality from fantasy anymore.

It would seem we need to break out the meme of Trump yelling at the kid mowing a lawn again.

Vance is a liar.
A conversation between two liars is worthless.

(51,206 posts)19. Yet another bullshit story. I'm sure the only thing Trump has to do with gardeners is trying
to find undocumented ones so he can pay them nearly nothing.

I think I should do such and such. What do you think, gardener?
Im sure you know best, Sir

Well, replacing the late, great Hannibal Lector with Chauncey Gardener is a step up, I guess.
