Donald Trump has left secret instructions for JD Vance in the Oval Office to be opened only if he dies in office. ‘Precise instructions’ written by Trump will be handed to Vance if the Vice President has to succeed him during his second term, counterterrorism official Sebastian Gorka said in a recent interview with the New York Post. Vance will also receive a handwritten letter from Trump, tucked away in a drawer of the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, laying out the rules of engagement for avenging the President if he is assassinated.
Trump has survived multiple assassination attempts and faced credible threats from the Iranian regime in retaliation for the killing of its top commanders. Gorka said protocols are in place should China or another foreign actor manage to ‘take him out.’ ‘We have protocols, trust me. Not ones I can discuss, but we have protocols,’ Gorka told the Post. Trump in January said he has left ‘very firm instructions’ for Iran to be ‘blown up’ if they manage to kill him: ‘I’ve left notification … [if] anything ever happens, we’re going to blow the – the whole country is going to get blown up.’
