I read this article when it came out and it's troubling. A couple of things strike my eye.
One being the timing of all this. Another being the fact he came out of nowhere. Third being his ties to some business ventures that really raise my eyebrows.
I'll explain.
First off Trump hadn't announced his VP- there were plenty of possibilities and Vance wasn't even in the pack of possibles that people were discussing. So out of nowhere.
Second came the assassination attempt and within 48 hours, 2 days, Trump announces it's VANCE.
Timeline here:
July 13 Trump survives attempted assassination (same day presumably after being shot at, he adds Haley to the lineup also very odd!)
July 15 Trump selects Vance and RNC convention begins on that note. Trump makes his appearance on Day 1 unexpectedly.
And suddenly everyone seems happy.
Including ones like Nikki Haley who I'd say trend more towards the Deep State, having stabbed Trump in the back in the past. She's one I'm actually quite suspicious of now. I used to think she was pro Trump but she isn't and I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.
It's fascinating that Trump adds her right after the shooting, and chooses Vance sometime in the 48 hours between being shot at, and arriving at the convention.
I'm equally interested in her speech, but also in the timing of Nikki's "support" for Trump and Vance! As seen here in one of the last paragraphs of this Politico article:
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/16/nikki-haley-rnc-2024-milwaukee-00168894
"
But Trump and his team changed course just a few days before the convention. Haley was added to the lineup the same day a gunman opened fire at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — killing one, severely injuring two and leaving the former president wounded but safe."
Trump is a courageous man, not someone to cave to pressure, even threats to his own life, but if his wife and family were threatened he might be vulnerable.
His life-- he would give for his country by the way I read him, but he is also very much a family man despite his marital woes. Even his ex wives were treated well and he loves his children and grandchildren deeply.
The Deep State doesn't play fair. They do play for keeps. Trump is well aware of what they did to his first term. I haven't forgotten how Covid caught him by surprise and suddenly he added Fauci, a man with financial ties to Moderna and ties to the virus lab of origin. As if he'd been pressured or conned into it.
One of the things that became obvious from the start of Trump's career is that Trump has the hearts of the American voter. Biden and the left are losing and the Deep State is discarding them, and I suspect they are doing the age old if you can't beat them, join them maneuvre. I think they've been aware of this possibility for some time.
I'm not sure if they planned the assassination- or if Iran had a hand in it thru Iran's operatives in the White House.
The Iran angle was brought up by Eric Stakelback.

That theory might or might not hold water.
Either way this looks like it had help from the White House by the speed at which they've tried to cover up.
Biden Administration hinders assassination investigation by Congress.
Either way they will have had a crisis (Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel's favourite saying, never let a crisis go to waste) that they can use to put pressure on Trump to accept a slight course correction at the convention, by making Vance the VP and adding Nikki Haley to the lineup in a peace making gesture to unite the Right.
Small details. But a slight course correction at the start of a voyage, so small, so insignificant can change the entire destination. I was worried about the other inclusive element, that prayer to a pagan "god"
GOP closed out Day 1 of its national convention with a prayer to pagan god ‘Waheguru’ Christian observers were troubled by the Republican Party allowi
Long story short, I'm uneasy, but that is nothing new. I've long thought that the deep state, the swamp dwellers, the globalists wouldn't just play on the Left wing side, that they were part of Trump's downfall during his first term and they have plans for him and his administration.
Since I also think that Luke 17 (not part of the Olivet discourse) mentions the time which I think is before the Rapture- in vs 26-29 days that talk about things going well, buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage, planting crops that this would fit a Republican govt far more than a Democrat. Not fitting with the economic crash that is coming (and would be quicker if Biden/Harris were reelected) and not fitting the very end of the Trib either. So I think it might refer to the time just before the Rapture.
Luke 17: 26-29 NIV
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
I think Trump is being allowed by God's hand to bring in some of the things that have to be in place for the Trib, and he may well extend a hand to protect Israel for the time being so that they can become the unwalled villages living in peace and security by the time of the Gog Magog invasion of Ezek 38.
Whether this has anything to do with this sudden insertion of Vance and Haley into Trump's plans for the RNC I don't know, but I wait to see what unfolds.
edited to add, I think he will try to avoid war with Russia and China but won't put up with any nonsense so if they want to finish Ukraine and Taiwan, they have to do it before November. ditto Iran.
If God allows it. And that is a big if. The Restrainer restrains till He is taken up out of the way.
Xi of China may have had a stroke but that is gossip for now. That might hinder the warplans because Russia and Iran would count on China helping out.
