Melania's Choice For Husband's VP Will Give You The Sickies

Former President Donald Trump's picks to assign for roles in his second administration are pretty frightening, with loyalty being the top priority. On Wednesday, we discussed Kash Patel, a potential choice to head the CIA if Lumpy gets his grubby hands on the White House keys again. "Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media," Patel said.

Lumpy aside, according to Axios, former First Lady Snuggle Bunny thinks former Fox News star Tucker Carlson would be a great choice as Trump's vice president.

But here's an interesting twist: Melania Trump is an advocate for picking Tucker Carlson, the booted Fox News star. She thinks Carlson would make a powerful onstage extension of her husband, a source close to Trump told us. The former first lady has made few campaign appearances this time around — but a Trump-Carlson ticket might encourage her to hit the trail.

Trump, asked last month about Carlson as a potential V.P., said: "I like Tucker a lot. ... He's got great common sense."

The idea of Tucker Carlson has been discounted by many people close to Trump because they assume he'd never pick someone who could outshine him. And Trump's staff is convinced (correctly) that Carlson can't be controlled. But the two men talk a lot.
