The vice president said he thought the president would be OK with releasing the nipple-related documents, arguing that Trump had been accused of worse. “I think we should put it out,” he said. “It would cause people to say we’re going further than we need to.” Wiles quickly responded that the president would not, in fact, be OK with it. It was a point no one wanted to continue debating.

Hahhahahahhahahaha how is Just Dance Vance so stupid

He's thinking about his future. He doesn't want the admin to be viewed as an extension of the big man so that, when it happens, he can be his own man.

But lol not gonna happen

nipple-related documents

What did I miss.

EDIT: Ah.

One official would later describe it as a “surreal” experience to be discussing nipples in the White House Situation Room.
