Trump: "She'll lose the Palestinian vote if she picks Shapiro". [View all]

* I’m only posting this as information. Not trying to stir up support or non support for Shapiro. I’ll happily support him if he’s our Veep choice.

On CNN this morning about 5:15am as part of a story about the selection process, they carried the Trump statement giving his opinion about Harris choosing Shapiro.
Who knows why he would say this. Reverse psychology?
Trump just being Trump and enjoying playing pundit?

No matter his motivation, I did find it interesting that he said this.
Just passing that along.
Once again, I’m not advocating for or against the choice of Shapiro.
I only want Harris to make the best choice to help her win.
As we all here do.
