MIKE PENCE FINALLY DROPS A DIME OR TWO ON TRUMP

 

MIKE PENCE FINALLY DROPS A DIME OR TWO ON TRUMP

In a shocking turn of events, former Vice President Mike Pence has finally dropped a dime on former President Donald Trump. Yes, you read that right. The man who once stood loyally by Trump's side has finally spoken out against him. And boy, did he do it in style!

On August 2, 2023, Pence took to the stage at the Indiana State Fair and gave a speech that left everyone in the audience scratching their heads. Was this the same Mike Pence who had spent four years nodding along to every word that came out of Trump's mouth?

In his speech, Pence made it clear that he was no longer willing to be a loyal foot soldier for Trump. He condemned Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and reiterated his support for the outcome. He even went so far as to say that he "did his duty" on January 6, 2021, when he certified the results, despite Trump's pressure to do otherwise.

Now, if you're anything like me, you're probably wondering what took Pence so long to speak out against Trump. After all, the man has been out of office for years now. But hey, better late than never, right?

Pence's speech was met with mixed reactions from Republicans. Some praised him for finally standing up to Trump, while others criticized him for breaking with the former president. But let's be real here, the only thing that really matters is how this will affect Pence's chances of running for president in 2024.

And let's not forget about Trump's recent indictment in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. In response to the news, Pence tweeted that "anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States." Ooh, burn!

But seriously, it's about time someone called Trump out on his BS. Our country is more important than one man's ego, and our Constitution is more important than any one man's career. And if Pence wants to distance himself from Trump in order to run for president, then more power to him.

In conclusion, Mike Pence may have taken his sweet time to drop a dime on Trump, but at least he finally did it. And who knows, maybe this will inspire other Republicans to speak out against the former president as well. One can only hope.
