The VP is allegedly “moving fast” behind the scenes to seize power as an aging Trump continues to brush off rumors that his health is slipping.

The GOP is getting ready to show Donald the door. It was always their plan for him not to finish out his term. JD steps in, Donald gets pardoned for everything and anything, (and takes a few billion with him), - Bob's your uncle.

It's time we all rewatch "Death of Stalin" since it's (hopefully soon) going to play out again, for real this time, in our own country. Deputy Chairman Malenkov will be accurately played by JD "When I said no problem, I meant: No! Problem!" Vance. Steven Miller will do his Beria best.

If it DOES happen, predicting that: - None of the Trump teflon extends to JD, who has all of the dickishness but none of the charisma and gives off a "bully's toady friend" vibe. - Even if it's an obvious medical thing, MAGA will still completely blame him and go straight-up QAnon on him.

Some of Vance's strengths are his authoritarian demeanor & viciousness. That'll play well with most of MAGA. Though they'll miss Trumps "sense of humor" His other strengths are his forethought & his emotional intelligence of the MAGA mob That all makes him even more dangerous long term than Trump

Trump's rapid decline is not only sparking a scramble to consolidate power, it also means that Trump is probably not calling all the shots now. Sure, he's still a blustering idiot making lots of noise. But it's the likes of Stephen Miller who are really in charge. And that should scare everyone.
