No proof other than intuition and common sense. Trump already called him out for trying to get votes in the primary because “The only way to help Trump is to vote for me”. I’ve seen his type before.
I also thought he may be a con man, as he was relatively unknown. I observed a couple of things which gave me pause.
I noted that neither Trump nor Vivek went after each other for all of the time Vivek was in the running, until that very last dust-up. It could very well have been theater.
What I noted mainly is the Lara Trump really liked him, and made a point at the start of an interview with Vivek, that she was the first one of the Trump family to meet him a couple of years prior, and introduced him into the family. She seemed to be very proud of that, as if she had discovered him or something. Then I thought that if he has been friends with the whole Trump family, as she said, for a couple of years or so, wouldn’t he be on the excrement list for turning around and running against Trump in the primary? I found that odd - and it brought me to my conclusion that he only ran for president to get himself out there....to become a known entity. The whole time he was campaigning I referred to him as Proxy Trump. He said everything that needed to be said, plus he had the freedom to say some hard-hitting stuff that Trump may have better left unsaid.
What I then noted was that immediately after the first loss, he got out right away, and, frankly, he didn’t seem terribly bothered by the loss. It was like he took the first off-ramp, as planned, and endorsed President Trump.
Another thing that made me rethink is that Laura Loomer likes him. She is pretty good at sniffing out the weeds....she likes him and interviewed him very favorably. Since he’s been out, it feels like he’s still out on the campaign trail....working to get President Trump re-elected, but I just get the feeling he has more than the normal interest in it.
I could be completely wrong, but that’s when I decided the whole Vivek run for president was to make him and his views well known, and even get him a “base”. If you think about it, if President Trump does want him for VP, it would have looked very odd choosing someone who was a complete unknown. Nobody had heard of Vivek until he ran for president. How foolish President Trump would have appeared choosing a complete unknown.
Vivek is also an outsider (like Trump), shrewd businessman (like Trump) and absolutely relishes calling out the fake news and the swamp (even more so than Trump). He communicates to a different set of people and is very quick on his feet.
Unless he is a con-man, I think he’s a brilliant choice for VP. Oh, he also checks one of the boxes, in that he’s not an evil white heterosexual toxic male lol. Very important.
If not Vivek, I’d have to go with Vance or Donalds. Definite thumbs down for Gabbard, Stefanik, or Noem. I do like Kari Lake.
