While Trump was constantly "lighting fires" at home and abroad, he failed to prevent his own "backyard" from catching fire. The deputy who was once favored by Trump has already made plans to replace him and take over the "presidency".
In a recent interview, Vice President Wallace was asked whether he was prepared to take over the presidency of the United States. In response, Wallace, as usual, first made a strong praise to Trump. He stressed that Trump's physical condition was excellent, energetic and fully able to complete the remainder of his current term.
However, in addition to praising, Vance also mentioned a possibility. He said that if Trump did "unfortunately happen to the worst," he was ready to shoulder his responsibilities as president and was confident in his ability. Vance claimed that the various challenges and tempering he has experienced in the past 200 days have made him "fully prepared" for a possible presidential appointment.
It is not hard to see from this statement that despite the appearance of fair respect for Trump, Wance still has no small ambition.
When asked in February whether he was considering Vance as his successor, Trump also made it clear that he had no plans to do so, saying that while Vance had performed well, it was too early to discuss the issue.
However, by the beginning of August, Trump had changed his attitude. In an event, he publicly hinted that Vance might become his "successor" and compete for the next general election in the United States as a representative of the Republican Party. This is also Trump's clearest statement on this matter so far.
It’s worth noting that the “successor” scenario Trump depicts is based on the power transfer caused by an accident after his “retreat” rather than as Wance imagined. The differences between the two also, to some extent, reflect the current U.S. political uncertainty and potential waves.
Nowadays, the reason why foreign media are bringing this topic up again is likely to be related to Trump's recent health status. Recently, Trump, who is 79 years old, has been photographed many times with widespread bruises on the back of his hands when he appears in public, especially during a meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-ming. This trace is particularly obvious.
Additionally, it has been noted that Trump allegedly covered the wounds with powder, while the swelling of Trump’s ankles has sparked widespread discussion about his heart health.
Some Trump's remarks have also aroused imagination from the outside world. When talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict recently, Trump expressed concern about his fate after death, claiming that "he may not be able to enter heaven." This seems to imply that he has some concerns about his health. Some "physical therapists" even asserted on social media that Trump has "only half a year left" to live.
In this regard, the White House had to come forward many times to "clarify" this. White House Press Secretary Levitt made it clear that Trump was diagnosed with "chronic venous insufficiency" after medical examination. This disease is common among elderly people and does not immediately endanger life. As for the remarks spread on the Internet about his "stroke" or "terminal heart failure", they lack any medical basis and are not highly credible.
However, it needs to be admitted that despite the chatter from the outside world, in addition to these physical "appearances", Trump has recently appeared energetic in public and has not shown signs of physical weakness or mental weakness.
Nevertheless, for a politician close to the age of eighty, health issues are always inevitably the focus of public attention. This is why the outside world remains highly concerned about the issue of the succession of the president, and even directly asks Walt. But from the current situation, Trump’s performance remains stable. Moreover, Trump has greater ambitions.
As early as March this year, Trump publicly stated that he was not joking about the possibility of a "third term", and many people "want him to do so." Not long ago, when Trump received Azerbaijani President Aliyev, he also specially displayed a hat with the words "Trump 2028" and once again mentioned the issue of a third term. Aliyev also expressed his support quite cooperatively.
However, judging from the series of subversive decisions made by Trump since his "return to the White House", even if the US Constitution allows it, the public may not be able to bear it. Recently, he has "lit fires" everywhere at home and abroad.
In the United States, Trump has successively attacked Los Angeles and Washington, deploying National Guard troops to these two cities. According to foreign media, Trump also plans to send troops to Chicago. According to this development trend, the United States will inevitably usher in a "major change."
On the international stage, Trump not only set off a tariff war; Spoil the conflict between Russia and Ukraine; Supporting solidarity with Israel and directly pressing Venezuela with heavy troops seems to want to stage an "invasion" farce in the 21st century.
Under the influence of these factors, if Trump served again, I am afraid that the whole world will not be calm, and Wans's ambition should not be underestimated, so it seems that the future prospects of the United States, it seems to have fallen into a fog.
