As the days move us closer to the RNC Convention, the chatter about who will eventually be Trump's VP pick is heating up. Now, we have news Trump met with three of the top contenders this weekend.
🚨Just in: President Trump has held private meetings in the past 24 hours with VP Finalists Doug Burgum, J.D. Vance, and Marco Rubio. However, no VP offer has been made yet.

This is getting exciting!
NEWS - Within the last 24 hours, former President Donald Trump held private meetings at Mar-a-Club with Sens. J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, multiple sources tell me, @Santucci & @rickklein

These three seem to be the top choices at this juncture, but there may be a trick or two up Trump's sleeve. He always like to put on a show and entertain.
I hope it's Marco. https://t.co/D1PFv9Qb3G

If it is Marco, the fact they are both Florida residents will immediately become an issue. There are suggestions of ways they can work through that legally, and Trump does own multiple homes in multiple states. As a reminder, Marco Rubio is currently a Senator in Florida. He is also fluent in Spanish and well liked in the Latino community. Trump may see him as an asset in attracting Hispanic voters who have slowly been shifting right.
One last round of humiliation for Little Marco https://t.co/09yt4eI3Tk

Others think this may just be an opportunity for Trump to snub Rubio publicly, one last time. As a Floridian and longtime Rubio supporter, I hope not. He has been a good and loyal Senator and represented our state well.
None of them would be the right VP: Burgum is too old for '29 to '37, Rubio would be eaten alive by Xi and Putin, Vance has almost no experience. De Santis is the man! Or Scott or Donalds or even Haley. Don't make the mistake Biden made - a VP who can't win next time. https://t.co/SSRINBg8TR

Still others had suggestions that didn't include anyone on Trump's current short list.
I hate to add to the distress, but Taylor Swift also debuted a new dress for Fearless and one for TTPD. RIP everyone's Mastermind scores. https://t.co/eUjgP5kOiX

Taylor might be Biden's choice as she is an outspoken Democrat. She might be the only person who could actually help Biden win.
Feels inevitable he’ll say “JD you’re fired” given how he’s set this up https://t.co/WznzFJutSj

There were suggestions Trump have an 'Apprentice' like show the first day of the Convention where he had the possible contenders go through tasks and then announce a winner. It would be hilarious.

JD Vance will have to switch High Schools if he isn’t chosen for VP. https://t.co/6ciQclwLXg

To be fair, it is nothing but a popularity contest and who can bring more to the ticket. It certainly didn't help Kamala's popularity though.
Hopefully Trump is trolling and he’s not picking any of these guys https://t.co/zBUHKqLUyz

Knowing Trump, that's totally possible. Maybe at the end we will get the Trump/DeSantis ticket so many Republicans wanted.
How in the HECK is Burgum even an OPTION?!?!

SMH.
Trump is moving farther and farther left with his current advisors. https://t.co/SuAfo2NbRe
The Burgum option is also very confusing to me, other than the fact he is rich and knows many other rich people. You have to have lots of money to win a campaign against the Democrats who have Hollywood and most billionaires in their pocket.
Trump will go rogue https://t.co/oIWnlkPT68

Honestly, I believe this, as well. I think he knows who his pick is and he has kept it well hidden. I believe we might get a YUGE surprise at the convention. Fingers crossed it is a fabulous choice and we finally get the 'red wave' we've all been waiting for.
