Here's the thing. When Trump starts saying he's not dumping someone, he's dumping someone.Trump was asked during an interview with "Fox & Friends" about rumors that former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley might replace Pence as his running mate in the next election.
"Mike Pence — I know I’ve seen this rumor that keeps popping up, and Nikki would be great, but Mike Pence has done a phenomenal job as vice president," Trump said. "He’s our guy, he’s my friend, and look, we have a great team."
"Mike Pence is a great vice president," he added. "He’s our man 100 percent."

Haley is widely considered a likely future GOP candidate for higher office. She has in recent media appearances tied herself closely to Trump and gone after his detractors in what GOP strategists interpreted as an effort to position herself for a possible 2024 White House run.

In this specific case, he has to say this about Pence, because Pence is involved in the Ukraine scam, but the impeachment and trial are going to be over by the time of the 2020 election. At that point, there will be no danger of Pence being called to testify and possibly derailing Trump's presidency. THEN we'll see if he still keeps Pence on the 2020 ticket.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
