Trump plans to saddle his veep with most of the duties of being president. Because why not?
Anyone looking to tune in to the Republican National Convention this week to hear from the man the GOP is seeking to send to Washington to run the country needs to adjust their DVRs, because that speech won't be given by Republican presidential nominee and apocalyptic circus peanut Donald Trump on Thursday. Rather, it will be given by the party's vice-presidential nominee, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, on Wednesday night.
So what gives? Well, it's not entirely surprising. See, Trump has, throughout his campaign, made it clear that he believes that being president is a really easy job - no sweat for him! But if you want to get a sense of just how easy Trump imagines the office to be, you should check out the Robert Draper’s account of how Trump came to select Pence as his running mate in The New York Times Magazine. It begins with Trump's eldest son making a back-channel overture to Ohio governor John Kasich, offering him the chance to be Trump's running mate:

I’ve always thought Pence would be an awesome president, so if true, let’s go do it.

Well, at least Pence has to stand for election to get the gig ... unlike val-jar.

I'm glad you mentioned broads (SNX).
Donald and Mike Pence are in the back of a limo driving to a rally.
Donald looks out the window and says, "Vavavavoom....a 42 Triple D. Check it out Mike."
Mike Spence looks puzzled and says, " That's odd. I don't remember a
42 DDD law in the Federal Register. I'll check it out later at the office."

President Trump (on Jan 21st) needs to enact an Executive Order
