Donald Trump wanted daughter Ivanka to be running mate in 2016, book says

[JonLP24]

Donald Trump wanted to name his daughter, Ivanka Trump, as his running mate in 2016, according to a new book by former campaign deputy Rick Gates, reported by Bloomberg News.

“I think it should be Ivanka,” Trump is quoted as saying in Wicked Game: An Insider’s Story on How Trump Won, Mueller Failed and America Lost, which will be published on 13 October. “What about Ivanka as my VP?”

The news lands as Ivanka Trump, who with her husband Jared Kushner remains a senior White House adviser, is named in the New York Times’ bombshell report on her father’s taxes, appearing to have received “consulting fees” that helped reduce the family tax bill.

Ivanka has not served in elected office but is widely thought to have political ambitions of her own, possibly in the 2024 presidential race.

4. This is more important than you think!

Mike Pence was not even considered until Paul Manafort showed up. Manafort and his Russian connections got Pence on the ticket. From what I understand, Pence's brother is connected to Russia via Caterpillar. Pence was a flunky that couldn't get reelected as governor of Indiana, so his addition came out of the blue.
