President Trump describes potential successors, mentions Rubio and Vance - NBC News



President Donald Trump tells Meet the Press in an exclusive interview that “it’s far too early” for him to know who could succeed him as the head of the MAGA movement, but names Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance as potential successors, without committing to either one.

====================

The president is an idiot. He doesn't even know whether being ineligible for a third term is a constitutional prohibition.

Is that he either will not leave office, or it will be MTG. This country is actually dumb enough to elect her. They elected this clown.

It’s all carrot and stick with him — and when they’re all excited and have promised allegiance to him, whack!

In other words, ETTD

that if he can make weak, subservient poltroons like Vance and Rubio compete for his favor and his blessing as his potential successor, they'll keep sucking up to him - sucking hard enough to bend light. And they'll do and say whatever he wants.
