It’s too bad he’s a traitor. It had a nice ring to it, everybody said so. Do we have a Spence? Maybe a Dense?” “Mr. President, the closest I see is Vance.” “Trump-Vance. I like it. It’s close don’t you think? He’s said some nasty, nasty things about me. But, Trump-Vance? I like it. He’s saying good things now, isn’t he? He’ll do the right thing, he knows what happened when the last guy didn’t do the right thing. He wrote a book, they’re telling me nobody is reading it. Everybody still reads Art of the Deal, imagine that? Vance, Pence, Vence, Pence, we should say it like that. I like it.” permalink fedilink source parent
