Trump may have joked about this to Thiel, but the likelihood that he would appoint someone so unqualified and who is a gay German libertarian rather than an American conservative is about zero. Thiel has very little in common with the people on the list of well-respected conservative judges Trump has said he’d choose from. I suspect the HuffPost is just trying to take away one of the best arguments Trump has for getting conservatives who personally dislike him onto his team.
“the HuffPost is just trying to take away one of the best arguments Trump has for getting conservatives who personally dislike him onto his team.”
And, most importantly... it’s a clickbait headline!
Donald Trump has made it clear he will nominate Peter Thiel to the Supreme Court if he wins the presidency, Thiel has told friends, according to a source close to the PayPal co-founder.
Yeah, these unnamed sources. And your points are excellent. Trump jokes a lot, Trump tosses out ideas like confetti sometimes. And the HuffPos is just trying to discourage Trump supporters, simple.
is he even a lawyer?
That's my guess as to the origin of this nonsense.
