Former President Trump showered Vivek Ramaswamy with praise when asked in an interview if he'd considered the 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur for vice president.
Why it matters: It's the most Trump has weighed in on Ramaswamy's presidential candidacy, revealing his openness to a significantly younger and arguably more radical anti-Washington unknown.
Driving the news: Trump called Ramaswamy "smart" and "young" and "full of talent" when asked by conservative talk show host Glenn Beck what he thinks of a "Vice President Ramaswamy."
"He's a very, very, very intelligent person. He's got good energy, and he could be some form of something," Trump said of Ramaswamy. "I tell you, I think he'd be very good."
The exchange came less than a week after the first GOP debate, which Trump sat out but promised to watch for potential vice presidential picks. The intrigue: Trump, in the same interview with Beck, seemed to acknowledge Ramaswamy's tendency to drive controversy, urging him to reign it in.

Great movie
That whole drama with nomination and "no I'm not one of you" lawsuit. Sounds like movie script stuff, doesn't it?
He had already said he wasn’t interested in VP.
Like Nick Saban said he wasn't interested in the Alabama job, when he was still with the Dolphins.
Great memory, and analogy! Phonypharmy would love to be VP, but I think the plan may be even for Trump to drop out and try to drag him across the line as his replacement. But based on their bromance they are definitely in cahoots.
“I’m running to be Vice President”, said no candidate, ever.
True, but no candidate has ever sucked up to a supposed opponent, and had that opposing candidate gush about them too, the way these two are carrying on. It's gotten uncomfortable at this point, kind of like when people know there is an affair going on in the office.
Hardly a decision. He just said nice things about him. What did you expect? Some negative rant?
If Trump pucks him. He would accept.
He lied when he said he wouldn’t accept
It’d be a horrible choice by Trump.
Towards the end of this year, a black woman is going to be a big help for Trump.
Maybe by being his VP running mate???
agreed. Sen. Ron Johnson would be my pick
If he has proposed to disenfranchise voters under 25, he isn't going far enough. I would like the voting age to be raised to 29.
I have, indeed, read many threads about Ramaswamy on FR and have learned that he is an anchor baby, an illegal alien, a Godless pagan, a polytheist, a puppet of George Soros, a puppet of Big Pharma, a WEF agent, a Trojan horse, a Trogen horse (from Trogen, Switzerland) and a Communist. Sounds bad!
I am convinced that he is NOT ELIGIBLE.
HE IS NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
HE HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO CLEAR THIS UP.
Makes me even more suspicious.
Soros brother funded his schooling.
There are photos of Ramaswamy with WEF founder.
He is a first generation America who has ties with India.
He is not to be trusted at all.
Trump been bent … this guy has changed compleat Lu in 6 mos … he’s worse than desantist …
I think she wants to run for Senate.
She got a bit too graphic in a statement about Trump, so she can’t be VP.
She would be a good Senator, but should have won her run for Governor of AZ.
If not for fraud, she would be Governor
Hell no and I mean NO
Trump always says that kind of stuff. He’s not going to pick a guy like that.
You don’t have to love Vivek, but also, don’t believe the propaganda...

If he is lying, he is the best liar I have ever heard.
Ramaswamy might be a great guy. But he will not help Trump win in any swing states. And you can’t govern if you can’t win in the first place.
