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.
