If Trump suffers an incapacitating illness before he’s sworn in, will Vance assume the Presidency?

LINK?

If it’s official, can we walk around holding our chests pretending to die as a symbol of solidarity? This is in conjunction with the diapers, maxi pad on the ear and holding JDs cup of gunk.

Yes, Vance would take over

Nonsense, sadly.

Yes it’s true that story is going around. I just read it.

Stop making shit up.

If the rumor was posted by some random on X, bluesky, tiktok, or similar, it's a waste of time to even discuss it.

He already exhibits a lot of issues that could or would be the result of a stroke.

Sort of a Manchurian Candidate.

The man is not well. What the medical diagnosis is, we don't know, because the media did not "demand" it.

We're a nation of fools.

The story was going around in 2020 that trump had a series of mini strokes ( drudge)

If death or incapacitation happens before Dec. 17th when the Electoral College meets and officially picks the President, the party names a new Presidential candidate. The Vice Presidental nominee does not automatically assume the top slot.

If after the Dec. 17th EC meeting, the Vice President elect becomes the President-Elect.

No it was a big stroke.....a great big stroke.....the biggest stroke anyone has ever seen.

One can only hope.

R10, if the EC names a new candidate, does that candidate run in a new election? Thanks.

R11 It’s one of those thumb and index finger strokes.

Update

It’s a flair up of very painful and almost crippling bone spurs.

They’re so bad, you have to dodge a draft.

The electors who backed Trump won the majority.. I’m sure they would go with Vance even if Trump died today.

Don't know, OP, but would love to have to find out.

🎵 do you believe in magic?

But Melania has bustled into the kitchen and begun cooking up some nice healthy food for him! When a gal like that is willing to put her manicure at risk, you know the con-in-chief will thrive.

Unfortunately he will live to be 90. It will be a relief when he’s finally dead.

He’s been very quiet since the election. Holding court at Maralago and making cabinet nominations.

His approval is up to 54%, maybe because he has been so quiet. Hopefully he’ll remain quiet but I doubt it.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the left wing lunatics (his term for the half of Americans that didn’t vote for him).

Die, die, DIE!!!

how could one tell?

Wow, if that happens we'll have the first trans president in Vance!

I stuff my poosey with bread crumbs

I love door nuts....shit.....donuts.

OP, what's your source?

Kit, I have a friend who gets all her news from sources like Meidas Touch, Legal af, etc on YouTube. She says she saw it there, on one of those channels, which also noted he hasn’t been seen in several days and some other voice is posting on his TruthSocial page.

If true- it’s a stroke of luck!

Dare we hope it was just like the climactic scene in Scanners if true?

Dump has been laying very low lately, which is out of character. But he is pure evil and evil people tend to live forever.

That said, hope springs eternal! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, R28

My older brother thinks that Orange Turd will croak before the 4-year term is up.

I'd rather Turd just serve out his 4 years. If Vance ascends to POTUS (due to Turd's death), then he'll run as an incumbent and will have an advantage. I don't want that to happen.

Fresh slate in 2028.

[quote]Rumor is Trump has suffered a massive stroke.

How can they tell?

I wouldn't get too excited about that, R33. Chances are nobody will be running in 2028. Vance will be right where his backers want him to be.

P.S. We have another thread going that says Trump dined with Zuckerberg at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday night. Admittedly that could be stroke-inducing for many, but it accounts for his whereabouts till very recently.

Don’t get our hopes up (although Vance would be just as bad if not worse, but also easier to beat in future elections)
