Donald Trump’s return to the White House has already sparked controversy, with leaked messages from his inner circle raising doubts about his leadership. But there’s a new concern emerging: Trump’s biggest threat may not come from the opposition but from his own Vice President, JD Vance.

Veteran analyst Adam Boulton suggests that Trump’s unpredictable decisions, such as tariffs on key allies and controversial foreign policies, could make him a liability. In that case, Republicans may consider Vance as a more stable alternative to maintain power.

Vance, once an outspoken critic of Trump, has since become one of his closest allies. However, recent leaks from a private Signal group show Vance subtly questioning Trump’s inconsistent foreign policies, casting doubt on his loyalty. As Vice President, Vance could be next in line should Trump falter, but his shifting stance raises questions about his consistency as a leader.

This comes at a time when concerns about U.S. democracy are growing. Experts warn that Trump’s actions, including barring a French scientist over anti-Trump text messages, signal a move away from democracy. Some believe that Trump could be removed from office through impeachment, the 25th Amendment, or political pressure leading to resignation.

If Vance were to take over, it’s uncertain whether his leadership would be much different from Trump’s, given his strong alignment with the current administration. As tensions rise, all eyes are on Vance—whether as Trump’s loyal VP or a potential replacement.
