Trump Announces Pick on Truth Social: JD Vance

How long will it be before the left claims that the thumbs-up gesture is a "well-known symbol of white supremacy," and racist black TikTokers start claiming "the thumbs up was a sign that masters had just used their thumbs to gouge out slaves' eyes"?

They keep claiming that with "Good Morning," just completely making it up that "Good Morning" was slavemasters baiting slaves after having tortured them all night.

Strangely, social media companies never ban that as poisonous, hate-speech disinformation.

Update: Hot off the Truth:

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.'s book, "Hillbilly Elegy," became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond....

Today is not just some isolated incident.

The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs.

That rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempted assassination.

David Axelrod
@davidaxelrod

If @JDVance1 is on the short list for VP, this Tweet, sent an hour after the assassination attempt in PA, ought to disqualify him in the eyes of the Trump campaign.

Wrong vibe in that moment. And as we now are learning, the gunman's profile doesn't seem to match Vance's premise. But at least wait and see!
Trump probably doesn't want a shoot-from-the-hip VP.

LOL, the left continues pushing their Assassination Prep (as Mollie hemingway calls the left's dehumanization of Trump and incitement to "kill Hitler") while telling the right to "lower the temperature of the rhetoric."

The rest of this post is now irrelevant, but here's what I wrote a few minutes ago:

This last tidbit -- about Youngkin speaking tonight -- may indicate that he's the nominee.

The American Conservative @amconmag

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin will speak Monday evening at the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin, two people familiar with the plans told 8News Virginia.

On the other hand, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the night for the Vice Presidential candidate to speak usually on the penultimate night, that is, Wednesday night? Trump is a maverick, though, so that tradition may mean very little.

I mentioned this in the sidebar: A commenter posted that oddsmakers have increased the odds that Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin is the pick.

I prefer Vance, but Youngkin is governor of Virginia, and Virginia is a swing state whereas Ohio is not (and hasn't been for years). Polls show Trump tied with Biden in blue Virginia. Well, two polls showed Trump tied there, but a NYT/Siena poll just dropped showing Biden with a three point lead, 48-45.

It's close.

If you take Virginia from Biden, it's over. I think it's already over and you don't have to scheme to take Virginia, but the old idea that you pick a governor to swing a state would suggest Youngkin is the better candidate.

This is a terrible, terrible idea, obviously:

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson

I have just heard from a TOP Source that RFK Jr. is in Milwaukee meeting with Trump right now on the Vice Presidency. Trump has yet to decide his VP.

Trump is ahead, he does not need to pick a lunatic leftwinger to win. Let's not forget that Trump is himself 78, and overweight-- and he has assassins gunning for him. The Vice President may well become President (unfortunately).

I don't believe this claim. It sounds insane. Who knows, maybe Trump knows that while conservatives appreciate Youngkin, we know he's a corporate moderate from the despised capital class of the party, and he's faking us out by talking about RFK Jr. so when he names Youngkin we'll say, "Whew, at least he picked a Republican."

Trump will announce his pick at 4:30, commenters are saying.
