Moslems ruin everything.

I was so excited to find this out today.

Fox News:

Donald Trump postponed a news conference scheduled for Friday to announce his running mate after the deadly truck attack in France — though the Associated Press reported that he’s already offered the job to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

A Republican with knowledge of the process told the AP that Trump made the offer on Thursday, before Pence traveled to New York.

And while Trump said he hadn’t settled on a “final choice,” campaign chairman Paul Manafort told Fox News on Friday that he thinks Trump has “reached a decision but he isn’t prepared to announce it yet.”

He predicted an announcement this weekend, ahead of the Republican convention that kicks off Monday.

Trump, though, made clear that he was scrapping plans to announce his pick Friday in the wake of the attack in Nice.
In a phone interview just after the announcement on Fox News’ “On The Record with Greta Van Sustern,” Trump said “we’re living in a whole different world and there’s no respect for law and order.”

“There’s no respect for anything or anybody And this has to be dealt with very harshly,” he told Van Susteren.

Trump said that as president, he would not allow people into the country from “terrorist nations” and would implement “extreme vetting.”

Earlier on Thursday, sources familiar with the Trump campaign’s vice presidential selection process confirmed to Fox News that steps are underway for Trump to name Pence as his running mate.

This comes as Pence gave his most public signal yet that he’s preparing for the announcement, abandoning his gubernatorial bid in Indiana. Sources say Pence, who faced a Friday deadline to make a decision, will not run for re-election.

The Trump campaign still insists an offer has not formally been made to anyone — and nothing is final until the presumptive nominee announces his running mate.

But all signs seem to point to Pence.
