 Trump: ‘Very disloyal’ if Pence, other Cabinet members run in 2024

Former President Trump said he would find it “very disloyal” if former Vice President Mike Pence or other members of his former Cabinet sought the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, seeking to send a warning to a number of figures weighing potential White House bids.

“Many of them have said they would never run if I run, so we’ll see if that turns out to be true,” Trump said Friday during a brief phone interview with Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade. “I think it would be very disloyal if they did, but that’s OK, too.”

Trump boasted that “the polls have me leading by 40, 50 points” and said he would decide on whether to pursue another presidential bid “in the not-too-distant future.”

The former president has not said whether he intends to run, but has openly flirted with seeking a return to the White House.

Most polls show Trump as the clear favorite to reclaim the Republican nomination if he were to run, but several other high-profile Republicans like Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, among others, are also reportedly considering a bid for the White House.

Earlier this week, Pence took several swipes at Trump, warning conservatives against veering too far toward “unprincipled populism” during a speech at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C.


Trump has been sharply critical of his former vice president for not going along with his plan to stop the certification of President Biden’s electoral college victory on Jan. 6, 2021.

A former assistant to Trump told the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 riot earlier this year that Trump called Pence a “wimp” during a call between the men shortly before the riot.

Since when were they loyal in the first place??  Let Pence run.  The only thing that idiot is going to do is pit the GOPe voting base against the Trump voting base, handing the election over to the DEMS.  Pence is a RINO and he has absolutely no intention of letting Trump get near the oval office again.

Pence is going nowhere. He's just being a fool.

....or ..... he knows that he can split the vote and basically hand it over to the DEMS.  Better than having the bad Orange Man leading again.

Lol, "Very Disloyal" .... after Trump spit at him the whole time after the election. Pence does not have the makings of what I call a true conservative, but there is a reason Trump picked him. He made the perfect "yes man".

   It was either Mike Pence or Chris Christy, they were the two top dogs on Trump's list for VP a week before the Convention. 
   The moment Trump 1 landed on the tarmac on July 14th in Indiana, and he kissed his ring his Career was over.

I don't see any disloyalty in throwing his hat in the ring to see if he can get the nomination. Anyone can run and having served with someone and thinking you can do a better job isn't disloyal. Pence is a fool though if he thinks the MAGA nation would ever support him or any other Pub that wants to return to the post WWII era where the USA was the global policeman. We are moving towards deglobalization whether the WEF, Rino's, or EU like it or not.
