Speaking about the President’s work ethic, Vance praised Trump’s ability to remain highly active and engaging. He underlined that his own experience in office so far has given him the right kind of preparation to step in if ever required.

Speaking to USA Today on Thursday, Vance said, “The President (Donald Trump) is in incredible good health, he’s got incredible energy.”

“While most of the people who work around the President are younger than he is, I think we find that he actually is the last person who goes to sleep, he’s the last person taking phone calls. He is the first person who wakes up and the first person making phone calls in the morning,” Vance said.

“So, yes, things can always happen, terrible tragedies happen, but I’m very confident that the President of the United States is in good shape, he’s gonna serve the remainder of his term and do great things for the American people,” the US President said.

“And if God forbid there’s a terrible tragedy, I can’t think of a better on-the-job training than what I’ve got in the last 200 days,” he added.
