Trump Secretly Stashed 'If I Die' Letter in Drawer, Aide Says

[Zorro]

President Donald Trump has instructed Vice President JD Vance on what to do if a foreign nation takes him out, an administration official claims.

The 79-year-old president has left his No. 2 a written note with “very firm instructions” for Vance to follow should he die, White House counterterrorism official Sebastian Gorka revealed on The New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast.

The topic came up when Gorka was asked if he was concerned about Trump being assassinated on his trip to China, which he largely dismissed before revealing that there are already instructions in place for that type of scenario.

“There is a letter in the drawer in the resolute desk that is addressed to the vice president, should something happen to him,” he said. “So that is the language of power that nations like China, Iran, and Russia understand.”

“We have protocols, trust me. Not ones I can discuss, but we have protocols,” he said.

In January, just before he launched his war with Iran, Trump said he left “very firm instructions” for Vance to blow up the entirety of Iran should he die.

4. +1000000000000000000

Fuck them all!

2. What would really happen...

8. While understanding the sentiment, those who practice the Craft

of the Wise who prefer not to be associated in any way with the orange creature.

16. Meant with all DU respect to all except the traitor.

Rather than cast aspersions on an under-appreciated group of people, I had hoped the catchy Hollywood score would express the public happiness that can accompany the end of an evil ruler.



Most importantly: I have nothing but respect for you and all good DUers, niyad. We’ve been brothers and sisters since the time Rehnquist and Scalia foisted Baby Doc Bush on us.

22. I do know and understand. That song captures the feeling even more

than "Celebration" or "Dancing In The Streets", which do not include references to the wished-for death of a super-villain. "No One Mourns The Wicked" isn't celebratory, and one cannot dance to the "Hallelujah Chorus".

So you are correct. "Ding, Dong" it is!

[malaise]

31. More proof that a picture

is worth a thousand words

[jmowreader]

18. One does have to wonder...

If the Munchkin City has its own infantry, why didn't they just deal with her themselves?

[Kid Berwyn]

29. It's what leadership is all about.

Imagine how much better the world would now be if he used his powers for good?

[mobeau69]

3. And he thinks cf would follow the instructions. LOL.

[niyad]

6. That part cracked me up!

[usonian]

5. Instructions not to bury him .....

IN A TAN SUIT.

[magicarpet]

13. trDUMP needs a dark navy blue suit coat and pants,...

,... the shitstains do not readily show up on the seat of his pants due to colossal leakage, runs, or a malfunctioning adult diaper.

7. He kind of gave the order some time ago that if Iran took him out, that the country

should be burned to the ground. So, I don't think there is any secret by what he plans for any country that takes him out.

[Irish_Dem]

9. So Trump is going to try to still control the world from the grave.

[yardwork]

10. He's not a king. It doesn't work that way.

I hate these people.

[C_U_L8R]

11. Not IF.... When.

It's inevitable, Donald.

[gab13by13]

12. Fuck him

He’s lying to get sympathy. His approval is down to 32, which means it’s lower than that.

Putin would never kill his best agent.

[Joinfortmill]

14. The ebtire world will celebrate!

[Raven123]

15. I'm skeptical that such a letter exists.

Maybe it’s because everyone in the story is a liar.

[PCIntern]

17. First of all, once you're dead, you're no longer President

so no order from you is valid as such

Second, I wonder if he thought about the fact that there’ll be a line of men who want a shot at his widow and her money. I’d recommend condom/rubber dam use in this case.

[dickthegrouch]

21. If it's actually addressed to the VP

Trump has no idea who Vance might nominate, or how long the confirmation process might take.

[PCIntern]

25. Point taken

[Efilroft Sul]

19. Dead man's switch for genocide, or malignant narcissism in apotheosis. Worst. American. Ever.

[jmowreader]

20. Let me ask: why would any foreign nation hostile to the US want to kill Trump?

If your goal is to weaken the United States, your best chance of success lies in leaving Donald Trump in office and letting him do it for you. If they bump off Trump, they're left with the much smarter JD Vance as president. I will admit that it doesn't take a hell of a lot for someone to be much smarter than Donald Trump - the dumbest cat I ever owned was smarter than Trump is.

23. OFFS

".... Piggy said he left 'very firm instructions' for Vance to blow up the entirety of Iran should he die." Not just firm, VERY firm!

How fucking stupid. Who is that supposed to impress? Or scare? "We can't kill Piggy because then we go boom!"

Start WW3 on Piggy's say so after death??

The ghost of Piggy past! 👻👻👻

[milestogo]

24. WHEN you die the world will be a better place.

[Goonch]

26. ;-{) HELL

[Demobrat]

27. As if Vance or anyone else will give a rat's ass

About anything having to do with the orange POS after he’s dead. They’ll be too busy partying.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

28. News flash: the instructions will have to wait a week for the nationwide celebration to start tapering off. NT

[Rob H.]

30. As if they're still going to follow his instructions when he's dead

It reminds me of a story I heard years ago about a man who wanted to be buried with all of his money so his wife wouldn't get any of it. She very cheerfully wrote him a check and tucked it into his coffin at his funeral.

[Buckeyeblue]

32. JD will thank whatever country is responsible--it's the only way he would get to be president
