President Trump has largely abandoned the tradition of one-on-one lunches with the vice president, according to The Atlantic.
Instead, Trump reportedly invites aides to lunch meetings with Vice President Pence.
During those meetings, a big-screen television is tuned to cable news, according to the news outlet, which added that Trump frequently yells at the TV and will break from the lunch to discuss a response with aides if he sees something on screen that angers him.
Trump often brings up Pence's endorsement of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the 2016 Indiana primary, The Atlantic, citing unidentified sources, added, noting that the president has told Pence he is in Trump's debt for sparing him a reelection fight for Indiana's governorship.

(24,264 posts)period of history and then go back to their regular ambitions to be President some day, Cruz, Rubio, even Pence are in for a rude awakening.
The GOP is trump's now and even if he loses in 2020 he ain't giving it back.
It will be passed to Ivanka and Don Jr.
Trump wants to pass it to Ivanka but the GOP base LOVES Jr.
He's a dickhead like his dad so he's their guy.
Every Republican in office today that thinks they can be POTUS someday is wrong.
There are 5 Trump's in line ahead of them all now.
That's what they get for playing nice with him.
