Any photos of him animated after the meeting? I'm having great fun at his expense along with the rest of the modern world, but seriously - is he OK?

(34,440 posts)there was NO advantage to him of jumping into the fray today. Just sitting there silently may have looked weird, but probably was the smartest thing for him to do given what was transpiring.

(3,426 posts)And that means sit in silence. There is no way to fallow up on a Trump dialog, nobody adds into what Trump has to say because even he doesn't know what he's saying until he has said it. And Pence knows the last thing he wants to do is interrupt Trump in the middle what ever he is putting down in his words .
You have seen how Trump deals with those that try to get into Trump's spot light. Chris Christie is/was one who just couldn't seem to get enough of Trump's abuse. And Pence ,he can't risk verbal abuse by Trump in public domain, or even in privet setting,say if the media were not there.

(3,426 posts)Trump cannot be made out to look like a fool ,so he has his own fool to fool around with. You might just know in Trumpy world that is what Pence is therefore ! No doubt Trump will have a dinner with a few invited guests one none other than Chris Christie. And Trump will have Pence And Christie sitting facing one another. Trump will insist they both have the meat loaf ! And he will wear that insidious smile he puts on . Yes if Trump convinced himself Pence did him wrong, than Pence will be taunted good by Trump because Trump will be compelled to strike back.

If he says something it's his fault that it didn't go well. If he doesn't say anything it's his fault that it didn't go well.
Trump is the show. Pence did exactly as he should have except for being there in the first place. The only reason he was there was for blame when it went bad.
