Trump Sets The Record Straight On His Relationship With Pence

The New York Times recently published an article centered around President Trump’s relationship with Vice President Mike Pence.

President Trump’s post-midterm election news conference at the White House last week took a surprising turn when a reporter asked about locking down his 2020 ticket.

“Mike, will you be my running mate?” Mr. Trump asked Vice President Pence, who stood up, raised his hand, and nodded.

“Will you? Thank you. O.K., good,” the president said. “That was unexpected, but I feel very fine.”

But in private Mr. Trump is apparently not feeling so fine. In recent weeks, with his electoral prospects two years from now much on his mind, Mr. Trump has focused on the person who has most publicly tethered his fortunes to him. In one conversation after another he has asked aides and advisers a pointed question: Is Mike Pence loyal?

The article claims that Trump has asked that question numerous times, which is alarming many staffers. They say that’s an indication that Trump is getting sick of a person.

WELP. Trump addressed NYT’s article with some tweets. He wants the world to know that they are BFFs so CRAWL OUT.

The New York Times did a phony story, as usual, about my relationship with @VP Mike Pence. They made up sources and refused to ask me, the only one that would know, for a quote….

….I can’t imagine any President having a better or closer relationship with their Vice President then the two of us. Just more FAKE NEWS, the Enemy of the People!

You want to know what would be icing on the cake? If Trump posted a picture of the two of them at a milkshake bar. Two straws, one milkshake. Catch my drift?

You think I’m kidding, but I’m not. That would make my day.
