    The premise is ridiculous not just in that we couldn’t trust this coming from trumps own mouth, but also that it implies that a vice president has any control over any president, much less donald trump.

      Agreed. I mean I’m sure one of his biggest selling points to the Trump boys was that JD would have to eat a lot of shit to go from “Trump is America’s Hitler” to his VP pick. I’m sure Trump loves the idea that in taking the job JD would be publicly humiliated, it gives Trump a boosted feeling of superiority over him and feeds Trump’s narcissistic ego.

      Edit - oops extra word. =(
