> Trump has pardoned a number of people who have donated large sums to his political campaigns.

It will be interesting to see how he'll be able to spin his well-documented donations to Democratic causes and sell that to the current administration:

"He personally gave at least $40 million to politicians and political action committees ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, mostly to Democrats and liberal-leaning groups, making him the second overall top donor to Democrats, only behind George Soros, according to the Center for Responsive Politics" [0].

By finding a way to get at least $41 million to the other side
You can call Trump "America's Hitler" and end up the VP pick. All that matters is bending the knee.
The question is, if he would see it really as an insult. Hitler was pretty successful in the beginning and did rise to the top against many odds and breaking conventions. (unlike Trump, he was not born rich, though)
