Thursday

He sent J. V. on geo folks errands (Hungary & Islamabad) while taking Rubio with him to the Bro-land UFC fight (in Rubio’s home turf Miami). I’m not sure if they’re polling of course but J. V. was seen as the front runner if only for being VP. BTW Don Jr. was extremely popular and probably still is but he’s probably #3 right now.

Typical Trump

“If it doesn’t happen, I’m blaming JD Vance,” Trump said, somewhat in jest, of an Iran deal during an Easter lunch this month. “If it does happen, I’m taking full credit.”
