Of Course Donald Trump Wants To Run with the QAnon Lady
In a party ruled by a base that’s dumb, racist, and crazy, Trump has found the ideal potential running mate in Marjorie Taylor Greene.
It’s 2025 and Donald Trump has been installed as president of the United States. A year into his (presumed lifelong) term as president, he fatally chokes on a Big Mac and goes to damnation — leaving his Vice President, Marjorie Taylor Greene, sworn in as president. I know how stupid that sounds, but the two have reportedly already been talking about the prospect of running together in 2024.
On a recent episode of the Daily Beast’s The New Abnormal podcast, Robert Draper, the author of Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind, said: “It’s been discussed repeatedly. Now, to be fair, I mean, how many of these conversations has Trump had with other people?”
Greene’s appeal lies in Trump’s desire to have someone that will “fight for him to overturn a presidential election.”
Draper, a reporter for the New York Times Magazine, added, “He has every reason to expect that Greene would be by his side and would be his proximate warrior.”
Draper knows this to be true because Greene told him herself that the two have spoken it — well over a year ago at that.
