Former President Donald Trump is approaching the end of his search for a vice presidential running mate, a process he likened to a “sophisticated version of ‘The Apprentice.'” Despite the urgency with the GOP convention in Milwaukee starting soon, even Trump’s top advisers claim they are unaware of his final choice.
