According to a political analyst, Donald Trump may lose his position as US president if one event occurs.
And a surprising person could challenge him for president. Adam Boulton, a commentator on Sky News, has said that Trump could be his own worst enemy.
Even Trump’s most ardent supporters may get uneasy due to his radical policy changes, according to Boulton, particularly if the president’s choices put the US in an unduly difficult situation. Trump has issued many executive orders in the fewer than 100 days since taking office.
With tariffs on allies like Canada and Mexico, Trump and his de facto prime minister Elon Musk have been in charge of an offensive on global commerce throughout this period. The Trump administration has renamed the Gulf of Mexico, temporarily suspended help to Ukraine, and begun deporting many alleged Venezuelans to El Salvador.
According to Boulton, Trump’s relationships with his confidants in the White House may suffer as a result of this uncertainty. They may then turn to JD Vance, his vice president, to succeed the 78-year-old president.
Once referring to Trump as “America’s Hitler,” Vance now holds the second-most influential position in US politics. And, according to Boulton, he is in a unique position to remove Trump from office.
According to Boulton, “Should Trump become more of an unpredictable liability – tanking the economy with tariffs, say or pushing America into an armed confrontation with an ally – then Republicans, including cabinet members, may decide that his comparatively squeaky-clean family-oriented VP is a better bet to keep them in power.”
Given that he has shown the ability to shift his allegiances, it is still unclear whether JD Vance would be a better option for America. The ambiguity arises at a time when more and more analysts caution that the US is moving closer to dictatorship.
During Trump’s first year in office, things that would have looked improbable, even impossible, now seem to be becoming more realistic. With Vance in charge, this pattern could continue.
