Discussing the health of the US President in an interview with USA Today, the Vice President said:
But he said despite recent questions about Trump’s well-being, the oldest president the 79-year-old president has taken office was healthy and had “incredible energy.”
The 41-year-old vice president is the third youngest vice president in history, but sometimes he said he can’t keep up with the president.
“He has an incredible amount of energy, and most of the people who work around the US president are younger than him,” Vance said.
“I think we are the last person he actually goes to sleep, he is the last person to call in the night, he is the first person to wake up and make the first person to call in the morning.
“Yes, there will be a terrible tragedy, but I am sure the President of the United States is in good condition.
“And if God forbids it, if there are terrible tragedy, I can’t think of better workplace training than what I’ve got in the last 200 days.”
Last month, the White House announced that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous deficiency. This is a circulation problem that caused swelling around the ankle.
They also said that the bruises seen in the president’s hands, which are constantly covered with makeup, were caused by “minor soft tissue stimulation due to frequent handwork and use of aspirin.”
Trump survived two assassination attempts during the 2024 presidential election.
His vice president is one of the most experienced people in history, serving in the Senate for just two years.
He works as Trump’s TV attack dog and his top messenger, traveling the country to sell the administration’s domestic policy agenda.
