Donald Trump‘s newest interview has everybody speaking — albeit for various causes. Trump spoke with Fox Information’ Bret Baier for the Tremendous Bowl interview, and there have been, as common, a ton of headlines that got here out of the alternate.
One phase particularly caught the eye of The View hosts on Tuesday’s (February 11) episode: when Donald Trump mentioned he doesn’t view his vp as his “successor” and the eventual nominee for the 2028 presidential race.
They began by reviewing footage of that much-fussed query and reply, and Sara Haines supplied her principle about Trump’s response first.
“I feel he’s obtained that free market concept of ‘Competitors works,’” she defined. “It’s identical to when he was asserting JD Vance. He needed everybody working for him. He needed all of the Republicans that had been keen to bend the knee, to exit and communicate and to stump for him. And so I feel what he’s doing is, ‘We’ll see who comes out first. It is likely to be my vp, may not be.’”
Sunny Hostin spoke subsequent and had quite a bit much less, let’s consider, sunny view of the scenario.
“I feel he’s doing one thing a bit bit extra diabolical, if I’m being sincere,” Hostin mentioned. “Consultant Andy Ogles, a Republican of Tennessee, on January 23 — simply three days after Trump was inaugurated — already proposed amending the twenty second Modification to permit Trump to serve a 3rd time period. I feel he doesn’t wish to succeed. He’s not going to say that JD Vance is a successor as a result of he thinks he’s his personal successor.”
Whereas Hostin agreed that it could be “laborious” to amend the Structure (it requires approval by two-thirds of each legislative branches and three-fourths of the states’ legislatures), she supplied, “There are a few ways in which he might attempt to get there. He might simply attempt to keep in workplace.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin then supplied her take, which was a slight alteration to what Haines mentioned. “This reply wasn’t shocking to me for 2 causes. Trump wants unfailing loyalty. He is aware of that if JD Vance comes up with like a Mike Pence second the place he’s weighing, ‘Is the Structure extra essential to uphold, or is being loyal to Donald Trump?’ he desires him to want that endorsement in order that he chooses loyalty to Donald Trump. But additionally, the second he says anybody is the inheritor obvious, he’s principally admitting he’s a lame duck,” she defined.
Nevertheless, Griffin additionally had her personal darkish learn on the scenario, saying, “I additionally assume he’s leaving a lane open in case any of these children have future ambitions.”
“Oh God!” Pleasure Behar exclaimed in response to the suggestion.
Griffin then continued, “The excellent news for individuals who don’t like Donald Trump is that this: He’s a singular power in Republican politics. Nobody will ever have as a lot energy over the Republican social gathering, the nation, the media the way in which that Donald Trump does. JD Vance won’t ever be as giant of a determine, even when he’s a future president.”
