Here's a thought...
Let's say someone - like JD Vance - wins the presidency on an 'I'll resign on Day 1 and nominate Speaker Trump to take my place' ticket (assuming the succession rules are changed too).
Why would he? Why would someone willingly give up the unchecked power of the most powerful person on the planet?
We've seen just how completely broken the U.S. is now, effectively having a king thanks to the Supreme Court. The first 'official' act of this new President, before they chose to resign, would be to release the Epstein files, arrest Trump, and put him on trial for all of his crimes.
That way they keep all of this unchecked power to themselves.
I think if "JD" "Vance" were to actually do something like that, he'd have to watch out for the actual Deep State that would be aching to do a JFK to him because of their absurd loyalty to Orange Jesus.
That's what I would've thought...
Though would the vehemently anti-paedophile Deep State suddenly forget about Trump when the Epstein Files are released?
I'm genuinely not so sure their blind faith in Orange Jesus will remain resolute when even MTG is demanding their release.
You're asking why?
Because Vance is a fucking cuck thats why.
