A White House official has revealed that President Donald Trump has written Vice President JD Vance a letter in the event that he should be assassinated.
Sebastian Gorka, who has led the Trump administrations counterterrorism strategy this term, said there were multiple protocols in place in the event that something happened to the president, including the existence of a personal message to the vice president.
We have protocols, trust me. Not ones I can discuss, but we have protocols, Gorka said, speaking to The New York Post podcast Pod Force One on Wednesday. There is a letter in the drawer in the Resolute Desk that is addressed to the vice president should something happen to him, Gorka said.
In January, Trump said he had left very firm instructions in the case that he should be assassinated by Iran, following death threats. Ive left notification
[that if] anything ever happens, were going to blow the the whole country is going to get blown up, the president told NewsNation. The president did not mention any letter he had written to Vance at the time.

Vance wouldnt even have to read the letter, but if he did, he could still say, fuck that shit, Im the boss now.

(7,221 posts)all my life. You're following the best grifter, war criminal, pedophile, rapist, bigoted and lowest-life all-around guy so act like you are entitled to it.
By the way, the stupid MAGAts don't like you and won't follow you like they followed me so watch your back as I've seen to it that they can all be armed to the hilt, even the insane ones. In fact, your so disliked by everyone for being dumb, you might as well quit while you still have a job.
I hope you know that I only picked you as my running mate because I knew you were dumber than a door nail and would do everything I told you to do. You'll make a great slave one day. And remember that when your wife has had enough of you and puts that axe through the back of your head and tells everyone you were acting suicidal and carried it out, people will believe her.
Nobody is afraid of you like they are afraid of me. That means your cabinet will be located in a room where they will lock you up in it.
Lastly, after I am gone, I have ordered my minions to release the "Easy-Boy Files" with pictures of you and your couches going full blast.

(26,524 posts)There are no pens and pencils in the White House since he could poke his eyes out with them.

So, he would have had to message it to himself, or someone to edit --- I mean print.
But here's the kicker. He doesn't give one damn about anyone but himself.
IT'S ALL ABOUT HIMSELF.
So, it's a dictated eulogy for Vance to read. And here it is in full.
Donald Trump was a warrior, a warrior for humankind and a preacher of the gospel of justice for all nations. He was a reforming character of the highest order, and his historical fate was that he functioned in a time of unequaled brutality, which in the end failed him.

Quotes
General Ralph Landry: You know, when they forced Khruschev out, he sat down and wrote two letters to his successor. He said - When you get yourself into a situation you cant get out of, open the first letter, and youll be safe. When you get yourself into another situation you cant get out of, open the second letter. Well, soon enough, this guy found himself into a tight place, so he opened the first letter. Which said - Blame everything on me. So he blames the old man, it worked like a charm. He got himself into a second situation he couldnt get out of, he opened the second letter. It said - Sit down, and write two letters.
