Trump finds out you’re cool, smart, edgy, and have the _right stuff_! Being Trump he doesn’t know your political leanings. He didn’t ask, no one told him. He calls you up and says “Hey, there, you smart, interesting person, wanna be my Veep?” Would you? ---

And immediately call for the 25th Amendment to be implemented. If the America-hating fuckstick could know about me and _not_ know that I pronounce his name “the America-hating fuckstick”, that’s pretty clear proof that he’s unfit to carry out the duties of POTUS. I’d then choose Gavin Newsom as my Veep, and upon his confirmation, submit my resignation. Wait, are we talking about him making me Veep on the spot, or him choosing me to be his running mate?
