‘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

'Scrap the Lease!' Trump Pushes US Ownership of South Korea Lands, Ignites Fury Over 28,500 Troops

US President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by suggesting that the United States should own the land where over 28,500 American troops are stationed in South Korea, instead of continuing under the current lease arrangement. Speaking with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House, Trump emphasized the massive investment made by the US in building military bases and hinted at renegotiating or taking full control. The proposal raises questions about the future of US-South Korea relations and strategic military deployments in the region. #Trump #SouthKorea #USForcesKorea #MilitaryBases #InternationalRelations #Geopolitics #USPolitics #AsiaSecurity #WhiteHouse #DefenseStrategy ~PR.274~HT.408~

‘Biden Enabled North Korea’s…’ South Korean President Makes SHOCKING Claim About North Korea’s Rise

In a fiery White House exchange, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung sided with U.S. President Donald Trump as both leaders accused Joe Biden of enabling North Korea’s nuclear rise. President Lee told Trump the Korean peninsula was “stable” during Trump’s first term, but claimed North Korea advanced its weapons program significantly under Biden’s watch. Trump immediately seized the moment, declaring, “They would not have done that if I were President,” to which Lee replied, “I completely agree with you.” The dramatic on-camera moment is fueling debate in Washington and Seoul, with critics warning that such public criticism of Biden could inflame U.S. domestic politics and reshape Korean diplomacy. Supporters of Trump, however, hailed the remarks as proof that his strongman approach had kept Pyongyang in check. The sharp rebuke leaves Biden facing fresh questions over his North Korea policy. #Trump #DonaldTrump #PresidentLee #SouthKorea #NorthKorea #Biden #NuclearWeapons #WhiteHouse #TrumpVsBiden #USPolitics #KoreanPeninsula #BreakingNews #TrumpSpeech #NorthKoreaThreat #GlobalSecurity #Diplomacy #TrumpLeeMeeting #Trump2025 #BidenFailure #TrumpHeadlines ~ED.420~HT.408~
