That’s it, right there. He thinks he can become the MAGA figurehead. He’s always been a “the ends justified the means" kind of guy.
I don’t find the incredible to believe at all. He’s always been playing some sort of theocratic take over long game. Remember he is when Trump acted crazy, he’d whisper to staff to keep their head down, keep their eyes on the prize, stay the coarse? Yeah, well none of that was about loyalty to or admiration of Trump. It was about using him as a stepping stone to a Christian Nationalist state.
Does anyone actually believe Mike Pence ever once looked at Donald Trump and saw a Christian brother, a fellow man of God?
Come on. Be real.
