Less than 100 days into Donald Trump’s second term, questions about his leadership are growing. But this time, the biggest challenge may not come from Democrats—it could come from within his own administration.
Political expert Adam Boulton believes Trump’s biggest threat is his own Vice President, JD Vance. If Trump’s unpredictable decisions—like trade tariffs, foreign policy shifts, or tensions with allies—start damaging the country, Republicans may see Vance as a safer alternative.
Controversial Moves Raising Concerns
Since returning to office, Trump has made several bold and controversial decisions, including:
✅ Imposing tariffs on key allies like Canada and Mexico
✅ Renaming the Gulf of Mexico
✅ Halting aid to Ukraine
✅ Deporting Venezuelans to El Salvador
✅ Making aggressive remarks about Greenland
These actions, along with his history of controversies, have created unease within his administration. Some insiders believe JD Vance could be a more stable leader if Trump’s position weakens.
JD Vance: Trump’s Ally or Future Replacement?
JD Vance, the author of Hillbilly Elegy, was once a harsh critic of Trump. He even compared him to “America’s Hitler.” Over time, he changed course and became one of Trump’s most loyal supporters.
However, leaked messages from a private chat raised doubts about his loyalty. In one message, Vance questioned Trump’s inconsistent policies, suggesting the president might not fully understand them.
Some conservatives see Vance as a backup plan if Trump’s leadership becomes too risky, but others question his true political beliefs.
Could Trump Be Removed From Office?
If tensions continue, there are three possible ways Trump could be removed:
📌 Impeachment: Congress could vote to remove him, but past attempts have failed.
📌 25th Amendment: If the Vice President and most of Trump’s cabinet agree, they could declare him unfit to serve.
📌 Resignation: Trump could step down under political pressure, similar to President Nixon during Watergate.
Would a JD Vance Presidency Be Different?
Even if JD Vance took over, he may not change much. He has aligned himself closely with Trump, so his policies could be similar.
Final Thoughts
Trump’s second term is proving just as unpredictable as his first. Whether he remains in power or Vance steps in, the White House will remain a center of controversy and debate.
