President Donald Trump said Thursday at a Fox News Town Hall he has no plans to replace Vice President Mike Pence as the two were friends.

Trump named Pence as one of his closest friends at a Fox News Town Hall meeting in Scranton, Pennsylvania on Thursday. He also said that replacing Pence on the Republican ticket in this year's upcoming election because that would be a "great act of disloyalty."

Trump's comments came after CNN political analyst Paul Begala made the prediction on Monday that Trump would "dump" Pence and replace him with Nikki Haley, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

Begala called Pence's replacement a "certainty" Monday during comments made to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) during a panel discussion.

1. Oops. White bread meet toaster.

[captain queeg]

2. If Trump said that, Pence is toast

[EndlessWire]

42. LOL! n/t

[Grokenstein]

3. Translation: The knife is out and raised overhead.

I wonder if Generalissimo Corpulente will be stupid enough to try and name Junior as Pence's replacement.

[GoneOffShore]

6. I was just about to say that

[tblue37]

38. Or Ivanka. His advisors will tell him the ticket needs a woman. nt

[patricia92243]

4. Translated: Pence will be fired soon.

[cstanleytech]

14. Want to bet that he will probably continue to tongue Trump's ass like the other Republicans?

[Ninga]

29. Yep. He's toast.

[GulfCoast66]

45. He can't be fired as a constitutional officer.

But trump could pick a different running mate for the next election. I think he will. But it won’t help him and make him look desperate.

[dewsgirl]

5. Trump says words, nothing he ever says should be lent any

credibility whatsoever.

[duforsure]

7. Coming from this country's most prolific liar and corrupt president

Who promotes putins Ukraine propaganda knowing its false, and now promoting with putin misinformation on the corona virus wants you to believe him when he speaks. People are seeing again trump promote the putin lies , so if he claims pence is his pick , doubt it, he's a serial liar. Just like his claims on the corona virus, all BS. Which is partly why Wall Street keeps dropping so much , they can't trust him either with anything he says or does.

[htuttle]

8. He's a goner

[denem]

19. +∞

dodo

[gab13by13]

9. Niki Haley makes sense for Trump, Pence does not.

[beachbumbob]

10. the trump kiss of death is coming for pence

[EndlessWire]

44. LOL! n/t

[Eugene]

11. Great act of disloyalty? That has never stopped Dump in the past.

[dawg day]

12. Ask his wives.

[sarge43]

22. Moron wouldn't know loyalty if it walked up and bit him in the ass.

Pence better start collecting cardboard boxes.

[cstanleytech]

13. "that would be a great act of disloyalty" Says the man who has cheated on all his wives.

[Paladin]

15. Pence and Mother better be packing their bags. (nt)

[Jarqui]

16. Penca very probably kept notes and evidence

Trump's loyalty has always hinged on whether the other guy has dirt on Trump.

After what we've seen, Pence would have to be really stupid not to gather up dirt to protect himself. Maybe Pence is stupid but I suspect at least one of his advisers can join two brain cells and figure out how to protect Pence.

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Translation: Pack your prayer rugs, Mike.

You're done.

[keithbvadu2]

18. Didn't he also pledge loyalty to his wives?

Didn't he also pledge loyalty to his wives?

[bucolic_frolic]

20. Pence will take Corona blame by July

Definite, carved in granite

[FreepFryer]

21. Pence will be forced to announce he is stepping down 4 a stronger ticket w Nikki Haley

Trump loves to humiliate.

[marble falls]

23. Note to Mike Pence: pack your Disney back pack, Donnie says he 'supports' you.

[Wounded Bear]

24. Pence better brush up his resume if Trump is saying this...

[world wide wally]

25. He only said it was "a great act of disloyalty".... He never said he wouldn't do it

If Nikki "gazes" at him the way Pence does... it will be divorce time for Melanie.

[Javaman]

26. 3...2...1... nt

[ouija]

27. Wonder

What reason Pence gives for stepping away from VP and saying it was his decision alone?

[Javaman]

28. spend more time with mommy. LOL nt

[Gothmog]

30. This means that Pence is doomed and will be replaced on the ticket soon

[The Genealogist]

31. Pence? Isn't he one of the covfefe boys?

Look out, Mike. Dainty Digits is about to give you a one way ticket back home to Indiana. Guess it is time for you to start dreaming about the moonlight on the Wabash.

[CanonRay]

32. The dreaded vote of confidence

[Miguelito Loveless]

33. So, Pence is gone

Got it.

[ScratchCat]

34. Its already been decided

that Nikki Haley is taking the slot because they see it as the only possible way Trump can win re-election at this point given they understand a fair percentage of 2016 Trump voters wont be voting for him this time.

[BlueIdaho]

35. And?

Fatso’s loyalties change faster than the weather.

[Moderateguy]

36. I do not see Trump's racist base voting for Namrita Randhawa

[Hestia]

37. Buh-Bye Pence - when your name is called out, you are gone, frog marched (or is it Pepe marched)

out of the WH.

The reason Ford was VP is there was a backroom deal for him to pardon Nixon as soon as he was sworn in, which happened. Would Haley do it if Pence is gone? Is she really that stupid or just blood thirsty?

[helpisontheway]

39. If Pence is smart (and I doubt it) he would have all kinds of evidence to bring Trump down with him.

[Maeve]

40. Did Niki say no already?

Or will he force (Not-worth-two)Pence to resign to spend more time with Mother?

[Sunlei]

41. President Trump what did you promice Nikki Haley?

*everyone knows Pence is your personal 60 year old vulture*

[louis-t]

43. And your point would be?

He's the most disloyal man on the planet.

[GulfCoast66]

46. I think pence is gone but not for Nikki.

His base hates her for the following reasons.

-She is a women and a fair percentage of his bat shit crazy religious supporters can’t abide a woman in a position of authority over a man

- she is a person of color. A good bit of his base believe in some crazy Natural Birth of the interpretation of the constitution. I don’t really understand it but apparently unless you family has been here since the founding and have always been citizens(White) you are not qualified.

- although identifying as Christian her family is Hindu and she still honors there holidays. This makes their head explode.

- and the main reason- she took down the Confed flag from the statehouse. The hate her and will never forgive her for that.

These people may only make 1-2 percent of his base, that losing that much much means he can’t win.

On her side, while she did agree to serve as his UN ambassador she got out real early before things really went sideways internationally. Like she saw it coming. I think she has ambition for the future and is smart enough to know tying herself any tighter to trump will slime her for life.

He will pick a bomb thrower like Meadows or Nunes.

[Totally Tunsie]

47. "Mike who? Nah...I really didn't know him."

"He was just some creep who followed me around the White House and licked the dust off my ass."

[WestLosAngelesGal]

48. I don't think he would be replaced or fired, simply because...

... oh, the book deals he would get.

[truthisfreedom]

49. He sent him to AIPAC to get coronavirus.

Hopes and prayers, pence. Hopes and prayers.
