> After numerous medical incidents interrupted his rally in Pennsylvania on Monday, Trump decided that he would halt the political programming and sway to music for 30 minutes instead. The clips of him awkwardly bobbing his head circulated on social media, prompting concerns about his health.
I’ve been hearing people say he stopped the town hall because of the medical episodes in the crowd, which happened because it was too hot in there…But that makes no sense. He didn’t end the town hall, he danced on stage for 40 minutes. How is getting people to dance supposed to help out an environment that’s already too hot???

If the 25th Trump, “Acting President Vance” would be the title right? APOTUS.

This is going to piss Trump off. Remember how upset he got when people were saying Bannon was really in charge and pulling the strings behind the scenes?

President Vance is trending as concerns grow over Donald Trump’s health following his awkward rally behavior. Critics, including Rep. Eric Swalwell, suggest voting for Trump equates to voting for Sen. JD Vance due to doubts about Trumps fitness. This has sparked discussions about Trumps lack of transparency regarding his medical records compared to Vice President Harris’s reported good health.
> "This is very sad for our former president. Donald Trump appears brain dead. I hope his family steps in to find him help," he said in response to a video of Trump dancing at the town hall.
> Other social media users suggested that voting for Trump will be like voting for Vance, citing concerns about Trump's mental and physical health.
People were getting overheated because there was no air conditioning. The campaign refused to open the doors for security. Huh? They have people who can monitor the one entrance, right?

Let’s think about this… If trump is elected then deemed unfit or passed away, j.d. becomes president. Scary thought.

The GOP will not be happy people are talking about this.
flylikejimkelly on
Is there some sort of psychological manipulation going on with him playing that music and being in their presence? I feel like this was more intentional than we think.
Black-Zero on
Theory is the GOP is secretly planning on ousting Trump as POTUS as soon as possible if he wins and get Vance in the big chair, by then claiming Trump is unfit.
Et tu, Brute?
CartoonistOk8261 on
Harris should just start campaigning against Vance and ignore Trump. that’ll really get him.
Sufficient-Alfalfa20 on
Vance is a puppet for Peter Thiel. If Trump wins it won’t be long before Vance and his allies 25th amendment him and then we are all fucked. Thiel will be the shadow president, Vance the useful idiot, and Project 2025 the rule of law.
Hope the Harris campaign hammers these points into voter’s heads. 🙏
DrayvenVonSchip on
It’s trending because it’s so obvious that Trump’s mental state is deteriorating. This is being brushed under the rug by media owned by the wealthy who want a Republican president. The hypothesized plan is keep Trump’s mental condition hidden until after the election and he is in office, then they’ll magically realize he is not mentally capable to hold the office and pull the 25th Amendment and have him removed from office. Vance, who is by far easier to control, then becomes president with someone equally horrible as vice president.
HelleEpoque on
More! Louder! The tangerine toddler needs this to invade his every conscious moment over the next few weeks. He needs to be constantly stewing over whether Vance is plotting to sideline him (spoiler: he is) or suddenly more popular than himself. He needs to know that everyone can see him breaking down and even his supporters are starting to look to the couch cuck as their new leader.
Legitimate-Relief915 on
There is no doubt in my mind that if Trump wins they will leverage article 25 before the end of the first year of his term to install JD Vance.
danarexasaurus on
Vance is the Trojan horse. They’re gonna remove Trump from power and put their plans into place.
Visual-Juggernaut-61 on
I’ve been thinking this for a while now. Vance doesn’t like Trump. People who’ve worked with Trump hate him. Tucker Carlson hates him. He’s turned on so many people and stiffed people he owes. His own supporters mostly think he’s a terrible person but only vote red because of the republican policies he tows with him.
I’m thinking there’s a lot of string pulling in the background to use Trump, and as soon as the election is over they’ll seat JD in there and fade Trump out. I wouldn’t be surprised if part of the project 2025 agenda is to suck Trump dry then toss his husk aside.
I can see the party going full on Vance and using him very shortly after the election if Trump wins. And nobody would be mad after a speech or two thanking Trump.
After the VP debate, I see Vance as a very different person than Trump, and he’s just playing along for the votes. Ain’t no way he’s really for MAGA, he wants to do his own thing and/or serve the dark republican goal of excising Trump and taking back the party.

It’s obvious to anyone with a brain. A vote for Trump is a vote for Vance.
Trump won’t make it another 4 years or the GOP will invoke the 25th admendement if Trump wins.
blackmobius on
It was a slip
The plan is to elect trump then let him have his play time to enact revenge or whatever. After hes worn himself out they invoke amendment 25, dump trump then president Vance follows through with project 2025.
Trump is basically done either way. He cant stay on task, he can barely function at a softball Republican interview, has an inability to golf or do anything at rallies, and is actively covering up a dementia diagnosis. If he doesnt win then its delay court and sentencing until hes too medically addled to do time. If not then he will be replaced with the good yes man Vance.
They are boldly telling you what they plan to do. Listen

Isn’t that the whole plan? Trump steps down after the convicts, President Vance does the presidential pardon and Trump gets off the hook.

The likelihood that Trump makes it another four years mentally and/or physically competent is near zero. Even without the symptoms that he displays, the likelihood that a fat guy who’s about 80 and doesn’t take care of himself remaining healthy (even if he was perfectly healthy right now) would be probably a coin toss. Eventual President Vance is a *high* likelihood if Trump wins.

Now you know why Vance became a Trumper. If Trump wins, there are myriad reasons why he doesn’t complete his term.

mvw2 on
Me listening to my Republican coworkers:
“Vance looked pretty good in the debate.” “I can’t wait to get Kamala, Joe, Pelosi, etc. out of the White House.”
Know what they don’t talk about?
Trump.
They don’t say anything good about Trump. They don’t say anything about Trump. They seem to ignore he’s even part of the equation. They talk about Vance and they talk about anti-Democrat all the parroted talking points. That’s it. Their game has nothing to do with Trump. Their game is purely anti-Democrat and merely use Vance as a justification point.
But ultimately why president Vance?
Simple.
That’s what Theil wants. Vance is there as a puppet. That’s his job. Vance’s job is to become president, not by votes, but by procedure. This means the whole goal is to carry the crap out of Trump across the finish line (looking exceptionally doubtful). And if he can pull it off, step two is to get rid of Trump, by any means. If this is by procedure or “natural causes.” we’ll find out. But the plan is to put Vance in the presidential seat.
After this, well, Vance has already told us all himself what the game plan was: gut the government, every single person he has the power to remove, every single person, and to replace each and every one of them with “their guys.” If you want to see what a real and proper coup looks like, vote for Trump. You will see Vance do it. You will see Vance single-handedly dismantle the entire federal government and turn it into a puppet regime. And he told is point blank that’s EXACTLY what he intends to do.
It’s just a question of if you want to wilfully ignore that fact and play your chances you misheard him.
This is no longer an election of Democrats vs Republicans. There are no Republicans campaigning right now. There is a puppet and Theil holding the strings. And you get to decide if you want Theil in the top spot of this nation. Place your vote however you’d like this to go down and take accountability for what happens next.

If he gets inaugurated on Jan 20, I’d be surprised he lasts a year before 25A produces President Vance. What an awful outcome for our country, democracy, and the world.
