This is a direct admission that Trump is gonna die soon
Evil people always last longer than you think. I'm not sure whether Trump is actually evil or the evil is a byproduct of extreme narcissism combined with staggering stupidity.
I heard a theory the other day that the thing that makes Trump Trump is that he speaks on a fourth grade level because he's just that dumb. He politically engages people who are too ignorant and disinterested in politics to do more than check Trump's name and ignore other Republican candidates. I saw it here in my own state where was something like an 800k vote discrepancy between Trump and conservative Supreme Court candidates. It's why districts that Trump won by double digits flip hard for Dems in special election's and non-presidential elections.
What that means is, when Trump dies, the Republican Party is pretty much fucked if they haven't achieved full on fascism by then. I'm not smart enough to know whether that theory is correct, but I really want it to be.
Fingers crossed! JD will not be as batshit. He wants to keep the job and not get bounced from the top spot next election.
JD will not be as batshit.
Considering his connections to Peter Thiel I'm not so sure about that. But what matters is that he won't be able to wield the cult of personality that has formed around Trump the way Trump can.
Exactly.
JD is scary due to the thiel connection.
He's very unlikable though imo. He doesn't have the charisma trump has (not genuine charisma, but like an arrogant bullying charisma that MAGA is attracted to). Hopefully this alone would work against him.
He basically radiates the Jeb Bush please clap awkwardness at all times.
JD also doesn't have as much of the crazy vote. Some people find trump charismatic, and find he can do no wrong, while JD chaises that charisma while lounging on the couch like a Lay-z-boy.
I don't think MAGA holds Vance in the cult-likenregard they hold trump.
It's the chairisma
This is sofa king perfect.
He’s still batshit, just in a better-tailored suit.
The good news is the MAGA crowd don’t have fanatical loyalty to him.
What?
JD and his wife were groomed to be the Republican version of the Clinton's...
They were literally set up by the "Tiger Mom" who's an ivy league law professor, then the wife was given SC clerkships.
They are 1000x more dangerous than trump, in no small part because they won't be as blatant.
One last grift: on his deathbed, Trump received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahāda
Isn’t that his job?
Main job, really.
And fucking couches
Yes, but the fact he feels the need to say this aloud means it’s on his mind, and that’s potentially good news.
🤞
Wishing Mr. Vance a speedy transition to power. Preferably like, tonight.
Wishing for the rest of the world he has a speedy transition right back out of power. Preferably like, very slightly later, also tonight.
Just a quick reminder that the next person in the line to become president after the Vice President and the President are no longer able to perform the job is the Speaker of the House.
I thereby direct you to take a look at who the Speaker of the House is currently.
It's shit heads all the way down.
It is very unlikely to ever get to the speaker. Everyone in the line doesn't move up one. If trump dies, vance becomes president but Johnson doesn't suddenly ascend to vp. Vance selects a new vp that I believe needs senate confirmation.
Not really. Trump and Vance would have to both die at essentially the same time for the role to be given to the speaker. In any other situation, Vance would become president and then nominate a new VP.
Had me going in the first half, not gonna lie.
J.D. Vance isn't ready to run a Wendy's.
He is ready to run a couch store. Not to be left alone in one, though.
"Sir, this is a country...."
He means "I'm ready to do whatever Peter Thiel tells me instead of Chump"
it's his turn 🙏
“The president is in incredibly good health,” Vance insisted to USA Today. “He’s got incredible energy.”
And these assholes wanted to "investigate" the Democrats for saying this kind of thing about Biden? At least I've seen Biden ride a bike. Having a golf cart shuttle you around on a course ain't anything.
I'd love to see mr. "incredible energy" try to ride a bike right now, LOL.
I would not be surprised at all if Trump never learned how to ride a bike or swim.
Hint here could go one of two ways. First is that Trump's health is fully expected to fail soon. The second is that Peter Thiel would see Vance as being less of a problem to control, and would tell Vance to pull the trigger on the 25th amendment regardless of Trump's actual health.
That said, this article is a bit overblown. Vance was asked about the President's health, and gave a pretty standard line any VP would say in the same position.
would tell Vance to pull the trigger on the 25th amendment
The GOP need Trump to keep the rabid racists cooperating. That's their messiah.
You and I know that. Thiel and Vance might think they can control MAGA without Trump. They're wrong, but that's never stopped them before.
JD Vance fucked my couch
No shit, that is literally the job of the vice president
LOL that fat fuck Vance has zero charisma, therefore will not be POTUS. Americans want a celebrity.
Thats why he had to put himself next in line, because he could never win himself. Hes gonna do Trump like he did the Pope
Back to the kids’ table you little joker.
While leaving a rollerskate at the top of the stairs.
He's gonna use the death touch on him.
That was the goal from the start.
Translation: "I will take a break from all my vacations to start golfing."
I mean, that's his job, right? Like, his one definite real job? He's "ready"? I should fucking hope so.
