JD Vance has said he is ready to take on the presidency “If God forbid, a terrible tragedy happens” to Donald Trump.
In a wide-ranging interview with USA TODAY, the vice president said he was “confident” President Trump would see out the rest of his term, but added he has had a lot of “on-the-job training”.
He also insisted to White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers Trump was in “incredibly good health”, despite recent questions about the president’s physical wellbeing.
It is very normal to talk about this.
He was specifically asked about the President’s health in an interview, and gave a bog standard answer any Veep would say.
People are reading too much into this. Trump’s health certainly isn’t good, but he’s not likely to pop off this week.
It’ll be nice if I’m wrong.
“That’s what the constitution would ask of me, so yes, obviously. I don’t understand why you’d even ask me this.”
I gotta wonder why he said that, especially in light of all the rumours surrounding orangeman’s health.
Could be Vance is giving America a head’s up of things to come.
What are you even saying, there is no reason, this is NORMAL. I too keep declaring regularly to my family that I am ready to step up and inherit my dad’s house
and live there instead of my shitty flatshould ThE uNsPeAkAbLe happen. This is to reassure my dear family of my loyalty to my dear old dad and my confidence in his health, obviously, may he live to 150. Normal People Things.🫠
I don’t do this, not least because I am in no shape to take care of a whole-ass house lol
Probably just answered the question the reporter asked?
We can only hope that trump does end up dying soon and this comment sparks some massive conspiracy and the right turns on and subsequently eats itself
Until we hear about sofa island.

Not the president we want, the president we deserve (also, you can’t gain access to the country if this pic of him is on your phone)
All the more reason to download multiple copies
They only need Trump to stay alive long enough to consolidate power. Then it’s phase 2. And it doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks as far as “respect” or “like” them. The long term plan is privatize everything completely moving the seat of power away from government altogether. We’re well underway.
They may think that, but it doesn’t work that way. They need a singular leader to unite the base. Once that’s gone, they’ll fracture fast.
What comes next is probably closer to European liberalism. Better social safety net, but capitalism mostly goes on. The US doesn’t have a groundswell of support to be any more anti-capitalist than that.
Agreed. This isnt a collective conservative front like the Tea Party. This is worship of a singular figure head. Once he’s dead it’ll crumble
Ahhh, but you forget two things.
One, cults usually outlive their founders, even cults of personality.
Two, Unitary Executive Theory. The Trump admin has been working overtime to try and figure out ways to rule by decree, and I think they’re absolutely willing to Hail Mary with Vance. If Trump dies, I can see them trying to quite literally just decree laws and dare the various, rapidly dwindling levers of power to stop them.
Nope, they don’t outlive their founders much. The few that do are exceptions.
There are cults of personality and cults of idea. Every once in a while, a cult of personality can outlive its founder by turning into a cult of idea. Mormons and Scientology are examples. This is hard to pull off, though. Most end up more like the Oneida cult, where its founder fled the country and it fell apart almost immediately.
The cult I was in, Jehovah’s Witnesses, was never really a cult of personality (IMO). Russell didn’t exercise particularly strict control over the group to begin with. Rutherford clamped down, causing a few splinter groups (a few of which are still out there). He turned it into a cult of ideas, and it outlived him without much issue.
As for unitary executive theory, it’s irrelevant. It only works for Trump because the congressional GOP doesn’t do anything against him. There is strong, aggressive debate among themselves, though. They could barely agree on a Speaker. Vance would weigh into it without the benefit of a cult of personality behind him.
They will become “The Fractured But Whole”
Guys I’m starting to think something tragic has or is about to happen…
What part would be tragic?
Going from raging pantshitter pedophile to a dedicated P2025 patsy.
I’ll take the patsy with no charisma.
But he’s a patsy who has not been president before meaning it could be another eight fucking years of this bullshit without any fight from the American public
Eight is hopeful. They’re trying hard to rig those elections and expand their terms.
That Vance would become president.
All the alcohol we would be drinking.
TRUMP IS DEAD, TRUMP IS DEAD shout it from the rooftops!
Lol they gonna kill taco
Pretty sure Vance isn’t planning to kill him until after January 20, 2027.
To be fair he did not say that unprompted. A journalist specifically asked him if he felt ready to take the president’s place should something happen. And it is downright misleading from the article writer’s part to not mention that detail.
Before i got laid off leadership said everything is fine. I didn’t believe it then and this is way more obvious.
He’s going to kill Trump just like how he killed the pope
He can’t wait to fuck those lovely couches in the oval office. Right now Donnie won’t let him.
He’s going to pope trump
“If God forbid” *fingers crossed* “a terrible tragedy happens” …
Maybe a terrible tragedy should happen to the couch fucking popekiller.
* fingers crossed *
“If Air Force One, carrying Mr. Trump were struck by a missile and blown up, that would be a tragedy.”
“Fantastic,” exclaims Vance, “that’s right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a TRAGEDY?”
“Well,” says the boy, “because it wouldn’t be an accident, and it certainly wouldn’t be a great loss.”
Imagine all the conspiracy theories from the maga crowd if Trump were to die.
Q is kill
no
“He’s got incredible energy, and while most of the people who work around the President of the United States are younger than he is, I think we find that he actually is the last person who goes to sleep, he’s the last person making phone calls at night, and he’s the first person who wakes up and the first person making phone calls in the morning.
Because everyone else is a hardcore alcoholic…
If Trump has the most energy out of all his staff. That’s not a good thing for trump, it’s a bad thing for his staff.
Same bullshit as when Biden was in office, like, I’m pretty sure they were saying the exact same thing when he was in office.
The man saying this has NEVER worked a labor job, saying it about a man who has never SEEN laborers. Trust none of what he says, for he has never walked a minute in your shoes.
I mean. He was a marine.
He knows what hard work looks like, he’s just a lying asshole.
“enlisted in the United States Marine Corps,[15] serving as a military journalist with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing.[16] During his four years of service, he was deployed to the Iraq War in 2005 for six months in a non-combat role, writing articles and taking photographs” - Wiki
They still go thru normal bootcamp and training…
There’s not many “easy” jobs in the marines
no different than the final days of Stalin, Tito or Franco.
it doesn’t really help when he spends half his time golfing tho
Couchfucker is gonna use the 5-point palm exploding heart technique on Chump.
