At Dinner Honoring Mike Pence, Donald Trump Touches Many Bases.

[elleng]

'President-elect Donald J. Trump, in a free-flowing speech Wednesday night at a dinner honoring his running mate, Mike Pence, jabbed at his new Republican allies and his critics alike, questioned the ethics of “super PACs” and talked about creating a “merit-based” immigration system.

Mr. Trump credited Mr. Pence with helping to bring critics around to the ticket.

“They all liked Mike. They were a little bit, you know, a little concerned with me,” the president-elect said, drawing laughter from the crowd of about 500 people, which included donors, cabinet appointees and other supporters.

Mr. Trump said that his aides told him that he was not required to be at the dinner, but that he thought he had to be there to honor a man whose role on the ticket he described as one of his best decisions.'>>>

2. His aides told him he "was not required"

Trump can't pass up being the center of attention.

4. Oh, I found it puzzling that he went to a dinner honoring someone else.

i couldn't imagine him letting someone else be the center of attention.

3. These guys really love to celebrate themselves, don't they?

I won't be surprised if Drumpf does another victory tour after the coronation.
