You can speculate on that, but history would demonstrate that you're probably wrong. Hell, Trump tried to get his own VP assassinated last time.
I'm sure they think they can control Trump, but as we saw from 2016 to 2020, they can't. That's especially true at Trump's age and with his cognitive decline.
Trump also famously told his VP picks in 2016 that they would run the country, he just wanted the title and perks of the presidency.
That was 8 years and 3 swaying Ave Marias ago, I doubt he is more motivated to do the job now.
Fair point.
