Trump Postpones VP Announcement Due To "Horrific Attack" In France
By Tyler Durden
With all the world’s eyes now firmly fixed on the south of France and the horrific ‘terrorist attack’ on Nice, Donald Trump has decided to postpone the announcement of his vice-president (until the next news cycle).
As Politico reports, Donald Trump will postpone the announcement of his vice presidential pick, citing the “horrible attack” in Nice, France, in which a tractor-trailer drove through crowded streets, killing scores.
Trump was scheduled to announce and introduce his selection Friday morning in Manhattan, but he tweeted Thursday evening that he would postpone the event.
In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow’s news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.

Another horrific attack, this time in Nice, France. Many dead and injured. When will we learn? It is only getting worse.

Trump was expected to reveal his vice presidential choice, widely believed to be Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, at an 11 a.m. news conference.
But, as The Hill reports, campaign manager Paul Manafort downplayed those reports Thursday, tweeting that Trump was still making the decision.
“A decision will be made in the near future and the announcement will be tomorrow at 11 am in New York,” Manafort tweeted Thursday.
