Vance did note that ‘terrible tragedies happen’, but he feels ‘very confident that [Trump] is in good shape’ and that he will serve the remainder of his term as president.
He added: « If God forbid there is a terrible tragedy, I can’t think of better on-the-job training than what I’ve gotten in the last 200 days. »
People have since reacted to Vance’s comments and hailed them as ‘strange’.
One person said: « Strange thing to say as the person who is VP, no? »
A second suggested that Vance was ‘foreshadowing’ and that his reply was ‘ominous’.
Somebody else wrote on Twitter: « What an incredibly odd thing to say. »
Another noted: « Interesting choice of words – the phrasing feels a bit ominous, but it’s standard VP talk about succession readiness. »
« Why are they laying down that kind of groundwork, » questioned a different social media user regarding the reporter’s line of questioning.
White House physician Sean Barbabella previously described Trump as being in ‘good health’ and said that he’s ‘fully fit to execute the duties of Commander-in-Chief’.
Americans have shared their thoughts on if Donald Trump should run for office again.
While it’s currently impossible for someone to run for office for a third term, Trump has been teasing the idea ever since he became president again in January.
