In May of 2016 candidate Donald Trump was in search of a Vice President. Donald Trump Jr. was tasked with finding this person. According to an article of July 20, 2016 by Robert Draper of The New York Times, Trump Jr. spoke to an advisor of Gov. John Kasich during this search with a grand offer. Draper’s article states,
“Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?
When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.
Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?
“Making America great again” was the casual reply.”
So, where do decisions such as today’s policy reversal regarding transgender members of the Armed Services come from??? The person in charge of domestic policy.
Vice President Mike Pence of course! The most powerful vice president in history.
