Probably because he’s a sieve. He’s the jo that leaked the McLame statement.
BTTT.
Agreed, he will be setting appointments, making sure lunch is available and other such stuff. He knows he is on very, very thin ice. This is something that he should not screw up....but if he does, will be dismissed once the pick is made. Even if he does a good job, they can simply say, he was working on the pick, we have the pick and now we don’t need him any longer.
The press will be focused on the pick, not the jackass who publicly lied to create a shit storm.....unless of course that was the plan all along. I believe sometimes Trump throws rocks at bees nests just to see who gets stung. The press now thinks he is a leaker and maybe he will leak stuff to throw them off the trail. Trump does love screwing with the press.
I trust Trump.....few others.
