Vance, in exclusive interview, says he's ready to be president while hailing Trump's health

WASHINGTON − The first time Vice President JD Vance walked into the Oval Office, he noticed the drapes ("dark and gloomy&quot – but he insists he’s not measuring them for a future turn behind the Resolute Desk.

“I've gotten a lot of good on-the-job training over the last 200 days,” Vance said in an exclusive interview with USA TODAY on Aug. 27, when asked if he was ready to assume the role of commander in chief.

His boss, after all, is the oldest person to have been sworn in as president of the United States. President Donald Trump was 78 when he began his second term in office.

“The president is an incredibly good health,” said Vance. “He's got incredible energy.”

Wipe the shit off your face Vance.

Vance is a devotee of Curtis Yarvin. Believe it or not he could be worse than Trump.

I'm guessing he's been in touch with his version of God. It's not too hard figuring out what he's praying for. Ping Tung Aug 2025 #8

Oh, FFS! He has gotten a lot of on the job training, my ass! He has been on vacation most of the time.

Where’s JD Vance? VP takes eighth vacation in seven months

Vice President JD Vance has been in office since January, and already he’s racked up more vacation days than most Americans could dream of in a decade. The man who built his brand railing against “elites” has basically become one — living like the very people he claimed to stand against.

His latest trip? A summer holiday in the Cotswolds, the region of England nicknamed “the Hamptons of the UK.” Vance rented a sprawling manor that goes for about $10,000 a week. Between his motorcades clogging tiny country roads and the protests that followed him across the pond, it’s safe to say his family getaway got more press than privacy.

But this isn’t an isolated incident. This is vacation No.8 this year.

Italy, India, Nantucket, Disneyland, Vermont, Greenland — wherever you can name, he’s been.

Subtract all the (long) weekends from that 200 days, then all of JD’s vacay, that leaves the time he bullied Zelensky in the Oval Office, and….I can’t think of anything else.

On another bright note, rumor has it he is having marital problems 🤔 I wonder why.

I thought with his Ivy League law degree he'd have read the 22nd amendment: he should be hoping the Donnie plausibly hangs on until the end of January 2027 - so Shady can finish out Donnie's term and run for two of his own. If Dear Leader is out of office before 2027, Vance only gets to fill out the current term and run for only one of his own.

Perhaps embittered by his unfortunate resemblance to an Andy Dick character, he is an affirmed racist and eugenicist.
