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.

“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.
