The vice president said he ‘couldn’t think of better on-the-job training’ than his time in office

JD Vance has said he is ready to take on the presidency “If God forbid, a terrible tragedy happens” to Donald Trump.

In a wide-ranging interview with USA TODAY, the vice president said he was “confident” President Trump would see out the rest of his term, but added he has had a lot of “on-the-job training”.

He also insisted to White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers Trump was in “incredibly good health”, despite recent questions about the president’s physical wellbeing.

      “If Air Force One, carrying Mr. Trump were struck by a missile and blown up, that would be a tragedy.”

      “Fantastic,” exclaims Vance, “that’s right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a TRAGEDY?”

      “Well,” says the boy, “because it wouldn’t be an accident, and it certainly wouldn’t be a great loss.”
