Theory: No matter how sick he gets Trump will never hand over power to Pence

[TeamPooka]

Trump would be too afraid that he would never get it back because Pence would just keep it.
Because that's what Donald would do in the same circumstance.

2. it will only happen if he's in a coma. and even then Trump's team tries to find a doppleganger

like the movie DAVE to take his place.

6. I love that movie.

But, if the MF gets intubated, pence will be sworn in.

If he is put on a ventilator Pence will be made acting President.

5. I agree. He has defied every other norm, why would he

7. I agree. I don't think people understand what you are referring to

but it's something Bush did when he was getting some medical procedure . Cheney was given power during this time.

That's different than the VP becoming president becsuse the president died.

9. that's correct. a temporary transfer. but others are correct too. if he's intubated Pence

will assume control.

10. Pence can take over without it

if the situation demands.

11. It's not really up to him, is it?

If he becomes incapacitated, there is a protocol for that kind of thing. He does not have a say in it.

13. Melania will scratch Pence's eyes out if he gets the power. or fuck him.
