This is incredibly bizarre. Just wild.

Then there's the rickroll:
"If you want someone to fight for your country, I assure you, he is your guy. He will never give up. And most importantly, he will never let you down."
Just read about this from Trump's 60 minutes interview:
“I don’t care,” Trump said on 60 Minutes when journalist Lesley Stahl asked him about Pence’s support of the war.

“But you’ve used that vote of Hillary’s that was the same as Governor Pence, as the example of her bad judgment,” Stahl pressed.

“Many people have, and frankly, I’m one of the few that was right on Iraq… He’s entitled to make a mistake every once in a while,” Trump said.

“But she’s not?” Stahl asked, referencing Clinton. “No,” Trump responded. “She’s not.”

You see! He's his own man he says what he thinks he doesn't sugarcoat it. He's a national hero!

I actually watched that interview. It didn't exactly come across as a partnership between Trump and that other guy that sat there and didn't say anything. Stahl would ask him a question about something he disagreed with on Trump and he would just smile and look at his master waiting for direction on what to do. It was pretty weird.
