JD Vance has sparked concern after giving an undeniably 'strange' response about Donald Trump's health.

People have been worried about the president of late after he was spotted with a 'large bruise' on his hand, which his team recently attempted to cover up with what appeared to be copious amounts of foundation.

As well as this, earlier in the summer Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition that occurs when your leg veins become damaged and can’t work as they should.

The diagnosis came around the time the president celebrated his 79th birthday in June. Trump was the oldest person to be inaugurated as president in January at the age of 78.

With all these factors in mind, his vice president, JD Vance, was quizzed about Trump's health and if he would be prepared to step up if needed.

"I've had a lot of on-the-job training in the last 200 days, but the president is in incredibly good health. He's got incredible energy," Vance, 41, told USA Today.

"While most of the people who work around the president of the United States are younger than he is, I think that we find that he's actually the last person to go to sleep, he's the last person making phone calls at night, and he's the first person who wakes up and is the first person making phone calls in the morning."

Vance did note that 'terrible tragedies happen', but he feels 'very confident that [Trump] is in good shape' and that he will serve the remainder of his term as president.

He added: "If God forbid there is a terrible tragedy, I can't think of better on-the-job training than what I've gotten in the last 200 days."

People have since reacted to Vance's comments and hailed them as 'strange'.

One person said: "Strange thing to say as the person who is VP, no?"

A second suggested that Vance was 'foreshadowing' and that his reply was 'ominous'.

Somebody else wrote on Twitter: "What an incredibly odd thing to say."

Another noted: "Interesting choice of words - the phrasing feels a bit ominous, but it’s standard VP talk about succession readiness."

"Why are they laying down that kind of groundwork," questioned a different social media user regarding the reporter's line of questioning.

White House physician Sean Barbabella previously described Trump as being in 'good health' and said that he's 'fully fit to execute the duties of Commander-in-Chief'.
