Speculation is growing that JD Vance could replace Donald Trump as President before the end of 2025, despite Trump currently serving his second term. Concerns have been fueled by recent controversies, declining public support, and questions about Trump’s health.

Trump’s unpredictable policies, including proposals like ending birthright citizenship, have frustrated many Americans. His associations with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein have also resurfaced, further damaging his reputation. Critics accuse the administration of selectively releasing Epstein-related documents, sparking backlash.

In a Truth Social post on July 19, Trump insisted he urged the Justice Department to release all grand jury testimony on Epstein, but accused critics of never being satisfied.

Political pundit Josh Greene suggested that JD Vance may soon step in. He pointed to Trump’s declining popularity, his controversial past, and a recent health diagnosis. “Between the Epstein scandal and chronic venous insufficiency—causing swelling in his hands and ankles—this is a very drastic situation,” Greene explained in a TikTok video.

The White House recently confirmed Trump’s diagnosis, calling the condition “benign and common” among people over 70. However, concerns persist about his ability to continue leading.

Despite speculation, many social media users believe Trump would never voluntarily resign. “His ego is too big,” one commented. Others worry that JD Vance would bring more of the same. “Vance is just Trump with newer batteries,” one user wrote.

Whether or not a transition is imminent, public unease about the administration’s direction appears to be rising as controversies continue to mount.
