Donald Trump wants to win the White House, he just doesn't want to do any work when he gets there

The Trump campaign reportedly asked John Kasich to be vice president, saying he would be in charge of all 'domestic and foreign policy'

So what would Mr Trump be doing, if he's not making any policy, a Kasich adviser asked. 'Making America great again,' Donald Jr said, allegedly ((Reuters))

With Donald Trump preparing to accept the mantle of Republican presidential nominee at the party’s convention in Cleveland, it has emerged that he may not actually intend to do much of the work required of a president, if and when he reaches the White House.

According to a story in the latest edition of the New York Times Magazine, the Trump campaign all but offered the job of US President to John Kasich, shortly after the Ohio Governor dropped out of the Republican primary race in May.

Mr Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr, allegedly called one of Mr Kasich’s top advisers to offer him the role of the property mogul’s running mate, promising to make him the most powerful vice president in American history.

According to the magazine’s unnamed source, “When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.”

Given that domestic policy and foreign policy together comprise, well, all policy, what (the Kasich adviser inquired) would Mr Trump be doing with his time, exactly? “Making America great again,” Donald Jr replied.
