I don’t think Trump would ever share the ticket with such a blatant attention hog. He won’t want anyone who needs the spotlight as much as he does. It wouldn’t be very long before she’d annoy him by stepping between him and the nearest camera or saying something more appalling/lamentable/cringeworthy/illegal and thus drawing more coverage than him. He needs someone boring and stable. Pence fit that before.
He’s like a smelly piece of cheese that goes on a bland cracker, not another smelly piece of cheese.
Also, other than Trump and the like, it’s not acceptable to criticize people for their looks. Trump does criticize people for their looks. He will want someone who “looks the part,” and that person will have to be at least somewhat photogenic. In his mind, his ideal candidate is a hot 35+ year-old woman, who is utterly subservient to him, agrees with everything he ever says, and serves as arm candy for his public appearances (while giving him hope that he might be able to fuck her). Kristi Noem And Kari Lake come to mind. Truth be told though, it doesn’t matter who he picks. His MAGA faithful will vote for the ticket even if he ran with Jane Fonda. It’s possible that Marge is delusional enough to think Trump might pick her. It’s also possible that she knows he won't but knows also that this idea being floated will give her additional fund-raising capacity.

does he know that this doesn't work?
His base doesn’t care. This is extreme virtue signaling about sticking it to China.
Now DeSantis has to one up the insanity.

Mercantilism is undergoing a resurgence globally in the mining and high tech sectors. The U.S., Canada, China, Indonesia, Germany, Mexico, and many others are implementing policies for promoting access to and control of natural resources and domestic production from those resources in the name of national security and national economic well being. On this issue, the Biden administration has been laying the groundwork for a more mercantilist future. It's going to be an interesting time as many of the biggest mining companies operating in the U.S. are foreign owned. Will mercantilism be the driver for long, long past due mining law reform?

Again, he is doing this for attention. The more mad liberals get the happier he is.

Yea, but as someone learned somewhere between 1935 and 1945, these things have a tendency to gain its own momentum and take on a life of its own.

The only thing tariffs did was cost the US taxpayer more money. It didn't cost China anything because they just raised prices to offset the tariffs. Someone in Congress should introduce a bill that requires any sort of tariffs to be approved by Congress. Allowing the President to arbitrarily decide to impose tariffs gives the President the power of a king, emperor, or dictator. It's a form of taxation without representation.
Not everyone is Hitler. Regardless, Republican voters are the problem, not the politicians. Republican voters are the ones who want this.
Trump was different for one primary reason - he is a lifelong criminal. This made his administration very different because he ran it like an organized crime family and he was personally very concerned about going to prison if he lost power (and rightfully so).
This doesn’t mean DeSantis is not a bad person or that he wouldn’t be a bad president, and sadly some of the criminal elements Trump introduced are likely to be carried forward, but it’s important to recognize they are different.

trump doesn't understand how tariffs work, he thinks the target country pays them which isn't true, those buying the products pays them.

It's kind of funny that he's making all these promises about what he's going to do as if he weren't president for four years where he didn't do any of this shit.

They believe the constitution only protects them and the conservative who share their views. Everyone else in the country has no protection under the constitution in their eyes.

Oh no, no, no.
He will be exempt because he is President he doesn’t need to follow laws. You & I will carry that burden.
Now related: Trade is one area the former President is at least partially correct. We need to give tax monies to companies like intel who can make all the chips we need on US soil, it will take a while to ramp up but it is certainly possible. Intel would also need some kind of pricing regulation too. We all need to get off the cheap Chinese tech crap for our own good, we need to accept some things will be more expensive while we rebuild our middle class. Problem is the former President is a typical republican and isn’t capable of building anything that will last it will all be simple Band aid patches that won’t last.

I thought he declared his spat with Disney was over and past history (and that Disney should withdraw their lawsuit against him and his stooges). DeSantis wouldn't lie to us, would he?
