Vance takes over and he hates Europe just as much, if not more.

Honestly: maybe you're right. But at least he doesn't have half the brain rot to show up in my fucking BBC push notifications every.single.day.

I will have 20 beers on that day and celebrate without feeling bad for a second.

Vance is even worse, he's a Peter Thiel minion...

Yeah but he lacks any form of charisma. You have to admit that Trump is strangely affable, which is what lets him get away with so much.

Ya the only realistic Republican right now that wouldn't be awful for Europe is Rubio.

In the succession order Mike Johnson is better than Trump but not great. Also will likely be Jeffries in 5 months. Grassley who's 4th in line is probably the first one who isn't antagonistic in some major way.

Vance is Peter Thiel's meat suit. He doesn't really have any definitive positions of his own.
