Trump fires Carson from VP team

[240 is Back]

Confirming who was on the list was NOT a smart move on Ben's part....


Last week, Armstrong Williams (his business manager and close confidant), told The Daily Beast that Carson left the team of his own volition. Carson had bigger and more important things to do, according to Williams, like preparing Trump for his meeting with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.
But three sources close to the Trump campaign said Carson didn’t leave on his own. He was pushed.

According to sources close to Trump’s campaign, Carson was demoted after Trump specifically wanted him to head up the VP selection team. He submitted names that he thought would be valuable picks and inevitably lost his top spot days later. Carson allegedly called Trump afterwards and was angry that the situation played out like this.

Carson still trying to remain relevant.  HAHAHAHA

Was he dumb enough to reveal the names on the list...

Or, more likely, he was just lying on the fly, as he did frequently during the campaign.  His tales about "oh yeah, I was in an armed robbery" when gun issues came up, even though there was zero record of an armed robbery at a national franchise (not to mention he was a vegan at popeyes chicken?) 

Likely, he just made up the VP confirmation statement on the fly, to see his name in the headlines again.

Trump with a nice little "You're Fired" movement to help keep the juices flowing.

Well played.

Makes you wonder how stupid someone must be to have "drafted" this compulsive liar to run in the first place.

But hey....  he's going to make an impact and is just the type of guy we need "to be involved in making policy".

only the devoutly stupid supported him to begin with.   The rest of us knew he was full of shit.
