It has been suggested that Donald Trump may not be president by the end of the year.
Trump started his second term as president in January, and in his short time as POTUS, has caused many controversies.
From his 'Big, Beautiful Bill' and his fallout with Elon Musk, to his links to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and that meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, the president has been no stranger to causing a stir.
His alleged ties to Epstein has proven to be a big issue for Trump, particularly in light of his administration seeming to cherry pick which files they're releasing on the convicted sex offender instead of just publishing them all.

But in a move to try appease his nay-sayers, Trump recently called for the justice department to release all grand jury testimony in the Epstein case.
He announced on Truth Social on July 19: "I have asked the Justice Department to release all Grand Jury testimony with respect to Jeffrey Epstein, subject only to Court Approval. With that being said, and even if the Court gave its full and unwavering approval, nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. It will always be more, more, more. MAGA!"
Despite his apparent efforts to keep people happy, some political commentators think his ties to Epstein could be Trump's downfall and see him replaced by JD Vance by the end of 2025.
TikToker Josh Greene shared his thoughts on why he believes this will happen in a video that's been viewed over 275,000 times at the time of writing.
Greene noted that what he was saying was just speculation but insisted that there were 'signs' that Trump won't finish his second term as POTUS.
"His popularity his plummeting right now," said Greene.
"Vance is removed from the Epstein saga — at least to some degree," he added.
As well as Epstein, Trump's health could work against him too following his recent chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) diagnosis. Cleveland Clinic states that it occurs when your leg veins become damaged and can’t work as they should.
"He is not in good shape," Greene said of the president.
People were quick to share their own thoughts on the matter, with many suggesting that Vance would be no better than Trump.
"He’s just as worse," wrote one person. A second added: "Vance is a danger to the USA, just as bad as Trump if not worse."
Others pointed out that it's highly unlikely that Trump would voluntarily step down as president.
Someone insisted: "There is absolutely zero chance Trump would ever resign."
Echoing similar sentiments, another wrote: "I think Trump's ego is too big to resign."
