‘I Am Ready To Be President…’ JD Vance SHOCKS World Amid Donald Trump’s Health Issues

In a stunning political moment, Vice President JD Vance declared he is “ready to become President” if tragedy ever strikes Donald Trump’s presidency. His remarks come as speculation over Trump’s health intensifies, after viral images showed swelling in his legs and a deep bruise on his hand during a meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. The White House insisted the marks were caused by forceful handshakes, daily aspirin, and a benign condition — chronic venous insufficiency — common among men in their 70s. Still, the images fueled heated debate over Trump’s fitness. While stressing confidence that Trump will finish his term, Vance said his 200 days as Vice President have been “the best training possible” for the highest office. His dramatic statement has added fuel to Washington’s anxieties as questions swirl about succession, leadership, and America’s political future. #Trump #JdVance #WhiteHouse #TrumpHealth #DonaldTrump #BreakingNews #TrumpBruise #USPolitics #Washington #Presidency #TrumpSpeculation #AmericanPolitics #VicePresident #TrumpNews #TrumpSupporters #TrumpIllness #Trump2025 #TrumpCondition #JDVancePresident #PoliticalDrama ~ED.420~HT.408~

Triple Threat to Trump—Kim Jong Un Joins Putin & Xi At China’s ‘Victory Day’ Parade In Beijing

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will stand alongside Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping at Beijing’s massive “Victory Day” military parade next week, marking a rare international appearance for the reclusive leader. China’s foreign ministry confirmed Kim’s attendance, calling it a symbol of the nations’ “traditional friendship.” The parade, marking 80 years since China’s war against Japan and the end of World War Two, will showcase thousands of troops, tanks, aircraft, and new anti-drone systems. For Xi, hosting Kim and Putin in Beijing is a major diplomatic win, signaling China’s central role in global geopolitics at a time when US President Donald Trump pushes for talks with both leaders. South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung has also been invited, raising the possibility of a rare North-South encounter. The spectacle will be closely watched as China displays power and positions itself as the key player in Asia’s balance of power. #KimJongUn #Putin #XiJinping #ChinaParade #BeijingParade #NorthKorea #Russia #China #VictoryDay #MilitaryParade #Geopolitics #WorldWarTwoAnniversary #GlobalTensions #SouthKorea #USChina #KoreanPeninsula #ChinaShowOfForce #KimPutinXi #BreakingNews #InternationalRelations
