  1. He knows he will because trump will be dead from congestive heart failure before Christmas. 

  2. I dislike Trump but he’s a force of nature. Vance sold his soul for power but he’s riding some else’s coattails. He’s no Trump

  3. It’s why he’s taking as many tax payer funded holidays as he can now. It’s why he had the meeting with Murdoch. He knows what’s up. He will have to do real work soon enough and be the puppet that he is for Thiel and co

  4. He wants to have that couch in the Oval Office all to himself

  5. Elon and Thiel didn’t buy the election because they are huge MAGA’s. They bought it because their preferred choice for VP was on the ticket. They feel he’s the right guy to establish some techbro led futuristic oligarchy.

    I imagine they are happy to have Trump hold on to power until Jan 21st 2027 then they’ll try to install Vance as he’ll be able to run for a full 4 year term 2 times giving him 10 years in charge.

    I don’t think these guys will be able to pull it off since they are all ADD/Aspergers assholes with no charisma. But they will try.

  6. My theory is that the next Trump will not be anyone from a Trump administration. Possibly not even from the Republican Party. To look like a tough guy to morons, it’s problematic if you’ve been their previous tough guy’s grateful fluffer for four to twelve years. 

  7. People need to be asking Trump this. Simply say things like “hey when you die in office, is JD Vance going to release the unredacted Epstein files?”

    The paranoia it would create would be so fun.

  8. This is the real reason musk stopped his 3rd party

    His boy is already locked in

  9. Man he is gonna be so pissed when he gets kicked to the curb for Trump Jr.

  10. He has the charisma of a bag of ham when the orange is gone he’s out

  11. He knows he’s chosen. Trump has maybe a year left, tops.

  12. breaking news: utterly sauceless man (who can’t take a vacation anywhere in the world without getting shit thrown at him) really thinks he’s gonna be respected as a leader if he ends up inheriting the presidency

  13. Trump will try to name his successor. It won’t be Vance.

  14. JD Vance has shown time and again that he is willing to do anything or say anything to angle for power. And he’s so excited that he’s *this* close.

  15. I don’t think Republicans even like him. He gets booed everywhere he goes! I know trump gets booed a lot but he also has his fans that really love him. I don’t believe JD Vance has that same following!

  16. Oh dear god, can some mod please finally ban the Daily Beast? Watch the video. This is sensationalist, Fox News-level bullshit.

  17. Oh, they’re talking about his successor now? That’s how you KNOW his health is so bad.

  18. Vance is just so genuinely unlikable. I think hes more dangerous than Trump but I also think the Magat base, the house, senate, or even the SC will tolerate a fraction of what they tolerated with Trump. Hopefully means they cut his shit off at the knees.

  19. I heard somewhere that Vance is always bringing in big sacks of burgers and fries to meetings at the White House

  20. The problem for JD is history. Charismatic political movements in which a single person represents themselves personally as the savior of a people and as embodying the hopes and dreams of his (it’s never been a woman in this position…it’s a man-thing, so sticking with ‘his’) nation in his person (“only I can fix it”) almost never translate their movement into a viable succession.

    The only two exceptions are N Korea (which became a totalitarian dynasty) and Spain (which ultimately turned to democracy shortly after Franco’s death when his planned monarchy didn’t work out). Absent a whole lot of violent political suppression, JD just isn’t that popular and nor are any of the Trumps.

  21. There is no cult of Vance. Everyone thinks he’s a total moron. He’s been forced on us by Thiel and Heritage Foundation. He’s not just a hypocrite he’s creepy, smarmy and wholly unlikeable.

    If they can’t get 2026 rigged then we will have a much bigger chance of having a candidate destroy him in 2028. But you can tell by the fact that he’s already taken 7 vacations this year that he’s already assuming he’s King of the U.S. and probably is poisoning Donold behind the scenes

  22. No one succeeds a cult leader. When Trump goes, MAGA will fall apart. I am *not* claiming that any of the GOP/Project 2025 bullshit will fall apart – not directly anyway. That is distinct from MAGA. MAGA was a means to that end. But MAGA as an organized movement is over when Trump goes.

    This is because they have no actual tenets they believe in – they only believe in Trump.

  23. i crack up at the idea that most of America will just support this guy after Trump is gone.

    JD Vance couldnt motivate me to make a ham sandwich lol

  24. Everyone hates JD Vance. He will just lose as a presidential candidate
