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.

    vance doesn’t have the capability to be the cult leader trump is. he’s a fucking joke (not to say trump isn’t). he’ll be torn to shreds, not just by normal people, but by troompa loompas as well. the people who fellate cardboard cutouts of trump are so fucking stupid that they have zero problem with trump having an immigrant wife, but big problem with vance having an immigrant wife.

    there might be some other reality in the multiverse where i actually pity vance and his inevitably terrible future-- but it isn’t this one

        Usha Vance is not an immigrant. She is the wrong color though.

        To MAGA crowd the latter dictates the former, legal realities be damned.

        lol you need to spend more time understanding how these people think:

        it doesn’t matter if you’re a “citizen” or you were literally “born in the states” . less than 100% white = immigrant. that’s it. unless you happen to reside in the upper echelons of the maga hierarchy–then anything goes, regardless of how contradictory it may be to everything else.

        i think one of the main things that normal people need to get started on is stop assuming that anything needs to make any sense to GOP.

        edit: i want to say: i love it when people downvote without replying. that just means you have no claims to counter my statements, and you hate it, but can’t do anything but click that down arrow, as if that makes your position valid or something.

        lol

        best of luck to you in the future

          I’ll respond. Your statement both implies and assumes an ignorance that was not even slightly represented in my comment. Your words are condescending and arrogant, with zero justification for being so.

          Let us know how that approach works out for you in life.
