It's important to remember that Donald Trump knows nothing. He is never going to research any issue, beyond asking “the best people” their views.

Asked by Harris Faulkner if JD Vance is ready on day one, Trump answers: “Historically, the vice president, in terms of the election, does not have any impact. I mean, virtually no impact...Virtually never has it mattered.” — Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) July 31, 2024 on Twitter

He is asked a question of concern to voters—the only concern voters have about a vice president is Could they be president?—and he answers the only question he cares about, How does this affect me? And look at the phrases he uses. To me it is clear that he is regurgitating points made in an internal conversation about his bad VP pick. Someone on his team has told him those points, to talk him out of dumping Vance. Since Trump knows nothing the only response that comes to him is to repeat what a campaign advisor told him.

In the first question of the same disastrous interview Trump showed he knew nothing. I posted on Mastodon:

Trump knows nothing. He skated to the height of white leadership on bullshit. This works because whiteness is built on bullshit. The legacy media all fail to zero in on it because their existence depends on the same bullshit. Black women are the anti Trump. So far I've seen just one clip of Trump at National Association of Black Journalists. He doesn't know what DEI is, that's clear. Not surprising. He hasn't had to know anything to be the leader of the whites. Can whites ever do better?
