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.

If God forbid, a terrible tragedy happens

Yeah, right. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if JD Vance has is eye on the oval office. Remember, he was an adamant anti-Trumper at one point. Sure, he ended up caving and kissing the ring, but maybe that was just a ruse. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump didn't make it all the way to the end of his term and Vance ends up being sworn in as president. That might be what some people have wanted all along.

He's all in with Peter Thiel. It is definitely the plan.

"terrible tragedy" ...yeah

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that's a weird way to spell "New National Holiday".

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

he's finally gonna kill him

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Thoughts and prayers, bruh.

Can his baby face with his baby mouth fit Putin's dick? Putin's is very use to Trumps mouth right now and he might not be able to nut with his baby mouth.

I seriously hope they don't announce his death on labor day and then rename labor day to fasict-pedophile-rapist day

Will the loser take more vacations and flood the Ohio River Valley?

[–] Joker@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago

It wouldn’t be a tragedy and it wouldn’t be terrible. I am confident it will be a worldwide holiday.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

“Don’t you think he looks tired?”

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So something terrible must happen to both at the same time. Noted.

Translation: JD has selected a window

EDIT: Plot twist: the window is the roof

"god forbid" more like "hope he hurries up". And also "why not make it a combo meal"

[–] if_only@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Sounds like something a vp who's poisoning the president would say

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

It's "when", and would be anything but a tragedy.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

How about when a wonderful "tragedy" happens?

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah, anything Vance says is about the most non-information a statement can be. The only thing to conclude from it is "Vance talked".
