  • Gaffe-prone former Alaska governor has heaped praise on Trump recently
  • In interview, she has fawned over Trump, praising him for his 'strength'
  • And The Donald has said he would love 'special' Palin as his running mate

Sarah Palin could be joining Donald Trump’s presidential ticket in a dream celebrity pairing for the Republican Party.

The gaffe-prone former Alaska governor has heaped praise on Trump in recent interviews, adding that he is doing a great job of ‘shaking it up the way it should be’.

Now, it appears Palin, 51, could be entering another presidential race, returning to the same role she had in 2008 alongside John McCain – but this time as Trump’s running mate.

Scroll down for video

Sarah Palin was asking Trump how he deals with media bias when she congratulated him for 'schooling' anchor Jorge Ramos, branding him a 'dangerous activist' for shouting questions at Trump

Sarah Palin was asking Trump how he deals with media bias when she congratulated him for 'schooling' anchor Jorge Ramos, branding him a 'dangerous activist' for shouting questions at Trump

Speaking to Extra TV, Palin said: ‘He is just getting crucified out there just for telling the truth. He’s doing a good job of that.’

She added: ‘He’s leading other candidates and having to talk about the issues that average Joe Six-Pack American wants to hear and wants to talk about.’

The Donald sparked rumors last month by saying he would ‘love’ to have Palin as a running mate.

‘She really is somebody who knows what's happening and she's a special person.’

And Palin fueled speculation further by deflecting questions on whether she would like to join the Trump ticket.

Trump also spoke about a tax crackdown on hedge fund managers and pledged to simplify the tax code for the middle class, who he said are being 'treated horribly'

‘Well, there are so many good potential female running mates out there, and male running mates,’ she said.

Republican Party strategist Rick Wilson described the Trump and Palin's pairing as a 'singularity of celebrity politics'.

'Donald Trump is not a rational political actor and so the things you might expect of a rational political actor are not the sort of thing you should expect of Donald Trump, he told The Telegraph.

'So the truth is that any damn thing is possible with that man.'

Palin also leapt to Trump’s defence recently, when she hit out at Univision anchor Jorge Ramos during an interview, branding him a 'dangerous activist'.

Speaking about Ramos being ejected from a press conference for shouting questions about immigration, Palin told Trump: 'You sure schooled that radical activist. He's not doing that again.'

Palin made her remarks while asking Trump about the unfair treatment she claimed conservatives receive from the media, asking him whether he felt he was treated badly over the incident.

Trump reminded Palin that he is currently suing Univision for $500million after cancelling his Miss Teen USA pageant following his remarks on Mexicans when he launched his campaign.

He added: 'The press was actually quite good to me on that one, he was screaming and ranting and raving. I actually didn't know who he was at first.

'I would gladly have answered his question but he spoke out of turn. He was hurting the rest because the room was packed and they were waiting for questions.'

During another bizarre exchange, Palin asked Trump how he became 'strong' enough to deal with harsh questions - including when he was asked about his favorite Bible passage.

He replied: 'I love the Bible, I'm a Presbyterian. They were hitting me with questions one after another and then they said “what's your favorite verse?”

Among the other topics up for discussion were the Bible, which Trump said he loves more than his own book, and veterans, who Trump again pledged to protect

'That's a very personal thing, I don't like giving that out to people I hardly know. There are certain things that you and myself and a lot of other people like to keep personal.

'But I love the Bible. Somebody once held up The Art Of The Deal and I said "that's my second favorite book".'

The former running-mate to John McCain was quizzing GOP frontrunner Trump as part of a segment on One America News this evening.

As well as reiterating his pledges to properly support American veterans, Trump also spoke about plans to decrease taxes for the middle class.

The business mogul, who has previously boasted of his wealth, said that he would back a crackdown on hedge fund managers, who he says make huge profits 'but are hardly paying any tax'.

He added: 'We have a complex tax code that nobody understands. People have to spend tremendous amounts of money for accountants and lawyers.

'I'm in favour of simplifying the code and getting rid of reductions. You have to simplify the code.

'We have to help the middle class, the country was built on the middle class. They have so much to do with what we have now and they are being treated horribly.'

THE QUEEN OF BLUNDERS: SARAH PALIN'S BIGGEST GAFFES

Sarah Palin's (pictured with former running mate John McCain) campaign in 2008 was filled with gaffes

Sarah Palin's vice-presidential campaign in 2008 was riddled with highly embarrassing blunders - mainly for her running mate John McCain.

She notoriously failed to name a single newspaper or magazine that she reads in an interview ith Katie Couric.

Palin said: 'I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.'

But when Couric pressed for specific publications, Palin flubbed: 'Um, all of 'em, any of 'em that, um, have, have been in front of me over all these years.'

In another notable faux pas, she floundered through questions on the price of oil and the economy in Thanksgiving interview - in front of a man chopping off turkey heads.

Geography is definitely not Palin's strong suit.

In October 2008, she told supporters at a fundraising event in San Francisco: 'They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan.'

Palin waded into the controversy over a mosque planned near Ground Zero in New York in 2010.

She took to Twitter to say: 'Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate.'

The tweet was later deleted, likely when she realized 'refudiate' is not a word.

In a radio interview in November 2010, Sarah Palin was asked how the United States should respond to the escalating tension between North and South Korea.

She replied: 'Obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies.'

My problem with Palin is a singular issue. Why would a potential US government official wear a flag demonstrating solidarity to another nation?

I wonder if Trump is going to bow down to Israel covering up his infamous hair-doo with one of those ridiculous Jewish skull caps, too?

First, I see two flags there. Second, do you think the Vice-President sets foreign policy?

Quit playing possum, Jethro. It is ONE flag united.

Being a potential US government bureaucrat at a top level places her opinions into influential spheres of all sorts, to include the perpetuation of dual citizenship that the US government should clearly rescind.

It is one pin with two separate and distinct flags. And this means what again?

I see. Give me one of Joe Biden's opinions that Obama implemented.

According to Palin during an interview when she was still the Governor of Alaska and was asked why she had the flag of Israel flying in her office along with the US and the Alaska flags,she said she flew it to show her support of/solidarity with Israel. It's the "Born again" in her.

yes or no?

If you are,do you believe that the Jews are God's Chosen People,and that Isreal belongs to them and that makes Israel more important than America?

Yes,or no?

God has long spoken on Israel and claimed it as His. I realize that it's easy to *assume* you're playing dumb.

As to the second part of your "GOTCHA!" question, no American -- whether Palin or myself has ever claimed OR said that Israel is "more important than America," Magoo.

Do you support Radical Islam over Jews? YES OR NO? And aren't you the moron who actually claims that there's "NO difference between Muslims and Christians"? YES, you are. BUSTED.

So much for possessing a molecule of sanity.

When was the last time God made a personal appearance?

A total lie. It is said in fundie circles every day of every week all over the country. You either believe that to be true,or you do not believe the "word of God" is more important than national loyalty. Which is it.

And aren't you the moron who actually claims that there's "NO difference between Muslims and Christians"? No,I have not and you can not produce a quote from me where I have made that claim. Like most "true believers" you want to edit truths to make them into lies to further your own personal "truths".

I have said there is NO DIFFERENCE IN THE MINDSET OF FUNDIE MUSLIMS AND FUNDIE CHRISTIANS,and that is 100 percent true. The same can be said about the mindset of communist true believers. The ultimate goal of all is to force everyone else to comply with their viewpoints using the force of the law or the point of a bayonet,and to imprison or murder anyone that refuses.

So much for possessing a molecule of sanity.

I am sane. YOU are the one that is a religious loon. You love your "GOD" so much you are willing to lie to make him stronger.

YES, you are. BUSTED.

One of us is,anyway.

Damn shame you didn't learn that.

But you don't actually believe that.

If you did you would complain that Lebron James is not allowed to play on the WNBA.

Any man and woman could get married. That isn't discrimination. But your parents didn't raise you right. That is for sure. That is why you became an activist for perverts.

Your mommy must have said don't make fun of billy even though he is wearing a dress. Then you said sure mama a boy wearing a dress is just equal rights.

You're a pitiful creature. I pity you.

I pity you out of love. I hate when people who have good qualities like you do, can get something so wrong as to call evil good. You make a virtue out of being a sicko pervert. You cloak perversion and mental illness in equality.

Well it isn't fair that you aren't President. It's not equal. Poor petey.

You were indoctrinated by libtards. We aren't "equal"... we never were. We don't treat people "equally"... we treat people FAIRLY based on what they bring to the table. Anything other is LIBERALISM. Shame you never were raised better... too many faggots in your wood pile.
