EXCLUSIVE: Top Picks for Donald Trump's Running Mates

President candidate Donald Trump has garnered a lot of attention over the past several months. He has drawn large crowds full of supporters, been widely covered by the media, and gotten people in both major parties talking.

But, there is a very high possibility that he will become the GOP nominee for the general election. Political analysts and normal people alike have been speculating who he will choose as his running mate. However, we here at the Freudian Slip have some prime selections for Trump, and hope that he will take them into consideration.

1. That guy who took that one economics course that one time in college freshman year*

This kid has got it down pat. You can really count on him to know what he's talking about when he's talking about the intricate complexities of politics. Who cares if he hasn't even picked up an economics textbook in 15 years? It only takes once.

*Alternatively, that one guy who took a political science course once.

2. Barack Obama

This guy actually has experience. He's all ready to go. He knows how to run the country, has dealt with opposition from both sides, and he’ll win the favor of those who love a kind face that isn’t screaming in theirs. That way, if Donald Trump dies in office or something, boom: Obama.

3. A piece of French Toast

So yummy, so warm, and just as inexperienced. French Toast adds the sweet, yummy goodness that Donald Trump needs, with a nice cinnamon twist. The major difference between him and Donald Trump is you wouldn’t be upset if you found French Toast on your breakfast plate.

4. Sarah Palin

She’s loud, she’s boisterous, and she barely even knows what she’s saying! It’s a perfect match for Donald because they’re the exact same person, except one likes to wear shiny hair, and the other is Sarah Palin. And nothing makes a campaign stronger than the former Governor of Alaska. Just ask John McCain!

5. The dollar bill you found in your pocket after running your pants through the wash.

It's old, worn and barely legible, but it represents the hope that we might find some money somewhere to help us if we just keep looking. It’s almost like what’s going on with the economy. We’re just looking for that crinkled dollar...or 14 trillion of them.

6. Donald Trump

There is no bigger “fuck you” to the political system than Donald Trump having himself as a running mate. This seems very much like him - he likes to put his name all over buildings, parks, wives. So it only makes sense that the second half of his political campaign would be himself. If he dies, there will just be a whole “Weekend at Bernie’s” thing going on.

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
