President Donald Trump has instructed Vice President JD Vance on what to do if a foreign nation takes him out, an administration official claims.
The 79-year-old president has left his No. 2 a written note with “very firm instructions” for Vance to follow should he die, White House counterterrorism official Sebastian Gorka revealed on The New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast.
The topic came up when Gorka was asked if he was concerned about Trump being assassinated on his trip to China, which he largely dismissed before revealing that there are already instructions in place for that type of scenario.
“There is a letter in the drawer in the resolute desk that is addressed to the vice president, should something happen to him,” he said. “So that is the language of power that nations like China, Iran, and Russia understand.”
“We have protocols, trust me. Not ones I can discuss, but we have protocols,” he said.
We’re calling obesity and heart disease a “foreign nation” now?

Sorry President Narcissist, you can’t control things when you’re gone. And MAGA won’t have anyone to worship.

it’s most likely just a paragraph in all cap letters disparaging him for being a #2 instead of a #1. forever cucked by the world’s worst sentient pile of shit in human form.

Like everything else, this is PR manipulation. Shame on the daily beast for taking the bait. This dude wants to stay in the press as a political violence victim every week. It’s his only playing card to stay relevant besides racist red meat to his core supporters.

JD Vance would be more likely to find the letter if they hid it between the couch cushions in the Oval Office.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Everything Trump does is looking toward a legacy that will not exist. His monuments will die. The history books will not be kind.

Does he realize that if he dies, he’s no longer president, and nobody has to do what he said any more?

Step 1- please remove sensitive documents from all my bathroom closets. Top secret national security info is here, please SHRED!
Step 2 – it was all Obama’s fault, probably, and Joe Biden and crooked Hilary helped!

it’s going to be instructions to destroy evidence. and whoever finds it will do it because basically the entire administration is implicated in the greatest criminal conspiracy in American history.

I just assume every president has this.

I find this story suspect if only because it would have required trump to write letter.

China won’t assassinate their Nation Builder.
Trump’s the best thing to happen to China since steamed rice. He’s safer in Beijing than he is at one of his own rallies.
