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.

      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)

    He can’t wait to fuck those lovely couches in the oval office. Right now Donnie won’t let him.

    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.

    “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 can only get so erect. Realizing that this guy would be the Chevy Chase of Presidents and regime change in visual only, I’ll take it.
