Former President Donald Trump continues to keep everyone on their toes with his silence on his potential running mate for the upcoming election, but recent social media activity has sparked speculation among his supporters. Observers on Truth Social noticed that Trump began following Dr. Ben Carson, a close ally and rumored contender for the VP spot. The rumors swirling around Carson, along with names like Senator Tim Scott and Governor Doug Burgum, have been circulating the conservative circles for some time now.
The intrigue deepened as internet detectives uncovered the curious link between Trump and Burgum, with the webpage TrumpBurgum.com leading directly to the official Trump campaign account. This kind of connection, while absent for other candidates, hints at a special relationship between Trump and Burgum, who has shown unwavering support for the former President since abandoning his own presidential aspirations earlier this year.
