Here’s what Vance had to say.
Vice President JD Vance says he is fully prepared to lead the nation if tragedy ever struck, but he stressed that President Donald J. Trump remains in excellent health, full of energy, and ready to continue delivering for the American people.
Speaking to USA Today, Vance was asked if he could step up in the event of an emergency. His reply was direct: “Yes, things can always happen. Yes, terrible tragedies happen. And if, God forbid, there’s ever a tragedy, I can’t think of better on-the-job training than what I’ve gotten these last 200 days.”
Still, the vice president immediately reassured Americans: “I feel very confident President Trump is in good shape, will serve out his term, and will keep doing great things for the country.”
Trump’s Strength Defies the Media Narrative
At 79, President Trump is the oldest man ever sworn into the presidency. Yet, unlike Joe Biden, Trump’s energy and stamina remain unmatched.
“He’s got incredible energy,” Vance said. “He’s the last person making phone calls at night, and the first one up in the morning. Nobody can keep up with him.”
This message is in stark contrast to what Americans saw during Biden’s years of visible decline. While the media often speculated about Trump’s health, those closest to him continue to describe him as tireless, sharp, and unstoppable.
White House Shuts Down Rumors About Trump’s Health
Last month, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency — a circulation issue that is both common and manageable.
She said the president underwent extensive testing after mild swelling in his legs and bruising on his hands were noticed by reporters. Doctors quickly ruled out serious conditions.
“There was no evidence of blood clots, heart failure, kidney disease, or systemic illness,” Leavitt said.
The bruising, doctors added, was nothing more than “minor soft tissue irritation” from frequent handshaking and regular aspirin use.
In other words: despite the Left’s speculation, Trump remains fit, focused, and ready for the fight ahead.
The Trump-Vance Ticket Projects Strength and Stability
JD Vance, the third youngest vice president in U.S. history, represents a new generation of leadership. But he insists the focus is rightly on Trump’s drive and unmatched resilience.
“America has a leader who wakes up fighting for the people and doesn’t stop until the job is done,” Vance said. “That’s why I have total confidence in him.”
For conservatives across the nation, the message is clear: Trump is still the fighter America needs — and with Vance at his side, the future looks stronger than ever.
