One of Trump's strangest traits is the way he often commentates on his own actions as if he's a third party looking on from afar.
He's been doing it again all week as he builds anticipation for his vice-presidential pick expected before the Republican National Convention that begins in Milwaukee next week.
On Wednesday, he let the country into his deliberations when he said that it was "an issue" that one of the favorites — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum — had signed a near-total ban on abortion.
"It's a pretty strong ban. You know, I think Doug is great. But it is a strong, he's taken a very strong stance, or the state has, I don't know if it's Doug, but the state has, so it's an issue."
Trump was also asked about Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance's facial hair amid reports that the former president prefers his subordinates to be clean shaven.
"No, I've never heard that one," Trump said, adding that Vance "looks good" and "looks like a young Abraham Lincoln."
Vance and Burgum – along with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio — are considered the three top potential selections for Trump, but there's nothing the ex-president likes more than being unpredictable so he could spring a surprise.
The chance to be a heartbeat away from the presidency must be quite a lure considering what Trump's last vice president went through. On January 6, 2021, Trump ostracized his No. 2 for refusing to help him steal the 2020 election, and Secret Service agents had to spirit the Veep away from rioters who were chanting "Hang Mike Pence."
