Trump thinks Tim Kaine did a terrible job as governor — of New Jersey
At a press conference Wednesday morning, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump criticized Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential candidate, Tim Kaine, for how he governed New Jersey
.“Her running mate, Tim Kaine, who by the way did a terrible job in New Jersey ― first act he did in New Jersey was ask for a $4 billion tax increase and he was not very popular in New Jersey and he still isn’t,” Trump said.
Except Tim Kaine was the governor of Virginia. Tom Kean, a Republican, was the governor of New Jersey from 1982 to 1990. They are different people.Kean, now 81, has been critical of current New Jersey governor and Trump ally Chris Christie. And he wrote a whole book, The Politics of Inclusion, about how Republicans shouldn’t divide people, which is kind of Trump’s thing.

He may not know much about Hillary's running mate, but at least he chose his VP because of Pence's agreement with Drumpf's positions:
We are so screwed if Drumpf gets elected.

And THIS MAN wants to be President !

Dear Governor Pence,
You may want to google the term Faustian Bargain *
*What the hell, I'll do it for you.
Faustian bargain
An agreement, bargain, or deal in which a person sacrifices or abandons his or her moral, ethical, or spiritual values in favor of wealth, power, or other benefits.
As I recall, such arrangements are rather fraught. Just sayin'.

Drumpf is also lambasting his old friend Michael Bloomberg since he spoke at the Democratic convention saying that he favored Clinton over Drumpf. Nothing gets the Donald's ire up more than someone that disagrees with him.
Donald Trump now hates Michael Bloomberg because Bloomberg was mean to him
One of the more effective speeches during the Democratic convention came from former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
In many ways, Bloomberg is what Donald Trump wants to be: a very rich guy who runs a media company and who converted that wealth into political power. Of all of the rich New Yorkers involved in the 2016 campaign, Bloomberg is the richest, worth some $40 billion, four times what Trump says he's worth and 13 times what Bloomberg (the media company) estimates Trump is actually worth. (Hillary Clinton, by contrast, is a lowly millionaire.)
Bloomberg is an ideological centrist in a way that now seems almost quaint, and his endorsement of Clinton on Wednesday night was more an anti-endorsement of Trump. He hammered Trump, questioning his actual wealth, calling him a con man and a hypocrite, and suggesting that Clinton deserved votes because she is "sane" and "mature."
And on Thursday, as Clinton was preparing to accept her party's nomination, Trump got mad about it.
Trump says he wanted to 'hit' some speakers at the Democratic convention
At a rally in Davenport, Iowa, on July 28, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said he wanted to "hit" some speakers at the Democratic convention so that "their heads would spin, they'd never recover." (The Washington Post)
At an event in Iowa, he started talking about how he wanted to "hit" the Democratic speakers at the convention who were disparaging him. The choice of words was awkward, but it seems clear he meant it in the way he's used it throughout his campaign: To go after them with verbal or tweeted insults.
"I was going to hit one guy in particular, a very little guy," Trump said, making a clear reference to Bloomberg's stature. "I was going to hit this guy so hard his head would spin and he wouldn't know what the hell happened. He came out of nowhere!"
Trump continued to assail Bloomberg on Twitter on Friday morning, starting off with another joke about his height.
If Bloomberg were to run again, Trump wrote, he "wouldn't get 10% of the vote." Interestingly, a poll conducted in New York state in March showed Bloomberg beating Trump in a three-way contest with Bloomberg running as an independent. In New York City, Bloomberg got nearly twice as much support.
As BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski pointed out on Twitter, Trump's attitude on Bloomberg's final term has changed pretty substantially of late. Here's Trump tweeting about Bloomberg during the latter's final term.
And shortly before he left office.
And, of course, praising Bloomberg for giving him a project.
The project in this case was a golf course in the Bronx, called Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point. Built on an old landfill, the course briefly had a problem with excessive methane output.
All of Trump's tweets above came before Bloomberg denounced him on television. As we've seen so many times in the past, nothing changes Trump's opinion on someone faster than their expressing a negative opinion of him.
Bloomberg has not yet been baited into tweeting a response, which no doubt comforted Clinton.

What a jerk ! ! ! What an irresponsible, unreasonable way to respond to others. This guy would be an embarrassment and a disaster as president.
