The White House is facing internal turmoil, with Vice President JD Vance emerging as a key figure in the unfolding drama. Just 100 days into Trump’s second term, leaked messages from a private Signal chat have fueled speculation about Vance’s loyalty. In one message, he reportedly questioned Trump’s “contradictory foreign policy stance” on military action in the Red Sea, sparking concerns that he may be positioning himself for greater influence.

Political analyst Adam Boulton warns that Trump’s biggest threat may not be Democrats but his own Vice President. He points to Trump’s erratic behavior—such as “rebranding geographic landmarks” and halting foreign aid—as actions that could alienate Republicans. If Trump’s volatility continues, some may see Vance, “a younger, more composed figure,” as a potential successor.

Vance’s transformation from a Trump critic who once called him “America’s Hitler” to a staunch ally has drawn scrutiny. Some see him as pragmatic, while others question his ideological consistency. Meanwhile, experts warn that Trump’s leadership is weakening democratic norms, with sweeping executive orders and restrictive policies adding to concerns. If Trump’s presidency collapses under internal tensions, the 25th Amendment or political pressure could force his removal. Whether Vance would govern independently remains uncertain. As tensions rise, the real test of this administration is just beginning.
