JD Vance says Trump will respond if Iran 'trash talks'

newsJun 22, 2026522,005

On television Vice President JD Vance said President Trump would "respond and correct the record" if Iranian negotiators "trash talk" U.S. negotiators during talks in Switzerland. Those Switzerland talks concluded with Iran's top negotiators departing after what both sides called "encouraging" discussions and with the two governments establishing a committee and a "de-confliction cell" intended to halt Israel's war on Lebanon. Vance's remark signals a willingness to answer rhetorical attacks with official pushback and risks complicating the nascent mechanisms meant to reduce escalation between the United States, Iran, and Israel.

JD Vance: "What we told the Iranians yesterday is that when you guys engage in what us millennials might call trash talk, you can't expect the president of the United States not to respond and not to correct the record." (Trump threatened to assassinate Iran's negotiators yesterday ... )

Trump has never “corrected the record” in his life

Someone please wake us up from this nightmare.

Vance: "... you can't expect the president of the United States not to respond [to trash talk]" Yeah, about that.

so very mature - i sure want somebody on the emotional and rhetorical level of a highschooler to run a country.

Shai Hulud 🇺🇸 & 🇳🇬 & 🇮🇳65

Trump corrected the record by threatening to kill the negotiators. Ok then

The trash talking and running mouth is Trump. HE IS INCAPABLE OF SHUTTING THE FUCK UP He has destroyed relationships with allies all over the world because he is such an arrogant, ill informed asshole.

Keals35

You can tell this administration has no strategic sense when they push this smarmy idiot out to do damage control.

Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot33

Now you see why JD is hated by both sides.

Anu31

Is he trying to prevent a war or win a 2012 Call of Duty lobby? Because treating global security like a gaming chat is wild.

tomwellborn3rd21

Hate the Iranian regime all you want, I do, but do not let contempt fool you into underestimating their negotiators. World class, patient, ruthless, surgical. Underestimating them is how amateurs get fleeced at the table.

Sonvar19

You see trash talk just means insults and Trump was jsut outright threatening people. Because whatever Trump does is totally fine to the GOP.

What US millennials might call trash talk has no place in diplomatic relations and for this clown to suggest as much is a reliable insight into his character and unsuitability for senior office.

The bird says, "Prosecute ICE"17

"What us millennials call trash talk" Yes, this is how normal human people speak.

Mo ⚓ 🧶15

Just a lil ole trash talk…. and btw, that term has been around way before millennials.

Berta Massaro 💙🌊15

As if. (as *we* boomers might say)

Sloane1114

millennials? Is this a campaign speech to remind voters of how youthful he is? And BTW, 1960’s trash talkers want a word..

Karen but not that kind12

Wrong. Yes we can expect our leaders to not “trash talk” Of course trump is trash so what else would we expect. Vote them all out. Save America.

Afabulous5011

He is the second most unlikeable, awkward person in the planet, currently.

OKNova10

If those are the rules, then it is within Iran's right to threaten the same against Vance and Trump. JD is an a**hole. An abrasive, self-serving a**hole who is on the wrong side of history. Our leadership in America lacks honor. Lacks dignity. Lacks humanity. Zero capability to function with others.

Mr. 🅱️10

Why does everyone from the U.S. just lie and lie.. and puff up Trump. Stop! It’s so gross. And everyone knows we’re full of shit. No one buys it and everyone is done with us.

Debra Meeks9

"Trash talk?" From the Iranians? What the sam-hill is threatening to "assassinate Iran's negotiators?" Idiotic?

Bethanne Wills8

When 7th grade boys run the govt

alt-DUP8

Thank god there's a grown-up in the... never mind.

Stop Peter Thiel7

The USA is being run by ignorant liars.

Denverite7

Quite literally the 1st clause of the MOU said there would be no threats “To refrain from the threat or use of force against each other”

Ido Amir7

I had no idea a person could be this embarrassing.

Protector 57637

When the Iranian negotiators are the adults in the room that should be a concern. The US negotiators are the absolute worst ever assembled and at such a critical juncture in our world economic history. The world oil reserves are within 4 weeks of running dry. Expect 100% increase in fuel costs.

Granuailynn6

“Us millennials” doing “hello, youths” esp since the PedoPOTUS is a Boomer🙄 ffs bsky.app/profile/gran...

Jo6

My guy, don’t reference trash talk if you’re gonna sound like a fucking martian while doing it. This is how I know your “simple living country boy makes good” shtick is full of shit. This kinda shit would’ve been bullied out of you in the 80s & 90s if you were actually country

Derson5

It is we not us.

GoBlueHalimi5

Yea, don't you love it when your friends trash talk you and threaten to kill your entire family like Trump did when he threatened to wipe out their civilization? It's akin to locker room talk.

profpolisci.bsky.social5

This guy has had nothing to do for a year and a half except try to get better at this. Yet it’s still little JD in the donut shop.

Marie*4

How's about a wise and diplomatic response instead?

Judy Weston4

America has no leader. A leader unites people, not terrorizes them. America has a weak, pathetic, inept narcissistic bully incapable of adult conversations. Vance, dating back to his hillbilly stories, is an opportunistic fraud & a horrid spokesperson. Meanwhile, Trump and cronies are profiting BIG.

Atina67🇳🇱🇪🇺4

FFS! The only one with trash talk is that orange asshole in the White Trash House.

nycgeo4

The president is a demented octogenarian with no bowel control and the VP is the “shovel guy”

William Peter MacMason4

the 21st century version of a fake folksy try-hard is very cringey

brucy4

Of course this violated what we in Gen X call "the agreement".

Ryan Paige4

This JD Vance guy is so fucking weird. He is, as a millennial might say, so very cringe.

Clare4

US millennials. It's like he's trying to crash a lunch table by saying "us cool kids." HE'S. SO. WEIRD.

Fvcking Hadit Uptahere3

Is it really too much to ask that the fucking president of these united states act like an adult rather than a five year old spoiled brat?

T. Boone Doggle3

Millennials created trash talk? Thanks for the dorksplaining, supply teacher Vance!

Simply Susan 💙3

"You guys" and "trash talk" really? The subterranean level of dumbing down is appalling. It's insulting to the Press and American citizens.

Nonnie Ida3

Can someone move us back into the right timeline?

ogdennutgoneflake3

MAGAts are unfit to govern. These lightweights have no understanding of diplomacy.

Alyssa Shanahan3

We millennials don’t claim you

P Collirigger3

Throwin' a little terrorism back at them.

Cath RN, PhD3

This guy needs to grow up & stop groveling. JD & Moses Johnson are the biggest liars & the face of the GOP. Talks were going fine. It’s market manipulation. Oil rose after IQ47’s threats. Brent crude climbed as much as 2.2% at the open to $82.30 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate was at $77.

Claire from Ohio3

Actually, you can expect that of the president of the United States.

danesinc 🇨🇦🇺🇦2

A millennial trash talker talking about a baby boomer trash talker.

Colleen Goos2

I raised a Millennial, she most certainly is not like JD. I don't know too many Millennials who are.

LesnielBC 🇨🇦🇩🇰2

Talk about a crisis of masculinity. The entire Trump admin reeks of it. Weak weak weak

Victoria Stewart2

“You can sexually assault women ie grab them by the pussy”= locker room talk. “Kill the negotiators” = trash talk

Jayme Ruimveld2

He’s a charmer, that one. Also, no one cares that you’re a millennial, JD Vacation. 🙄

justbegreene2

A mouthpiece of babble & no actual clue!

arcite.bsky.social2

Iranian negotiators are perfectly aware the entire US negotiating team are clowns.

themedici.bsky.social2

"Us millennials"? Where the fck did this hick learn English?

Your Liberal Friend2

Omg, everytime he opens his mouth the world gets dumber.

The Mighty Jungle💙💛2

OMG -- Your boss, Trump, is the king of trash talking and threatening to obliderate Iran. Do have ANY self-awareness at all???

Coastside Observer2

So Vance mansplained to the Iranian negotiators that they should expect Trump to respond to any provocation like an ignorant middle-school bully.

Menen Kim2

Vance is even more incompetent than Trump to sit in office and I didn’t think that was possible

purplepolitics1.bsky.social2

He is so out of touch that he thinks “trash talk” is his generation. Already proving he is a weak candidate.

Aval2

Nobody needs to be at this level of discourse when talking about ensuring peace and cooperation. Stop it.

Kristy K.2

Vance is the most Boomer Millennial in history.

Rhonda Jones Levy2

Threatening to assassinate another country's negotiators is way beyond trash talk, J.D. Vance has no inner compass. He's a mouthpiece for evil nonsense.

Dirk Straun2

But we don't have a president. We have a petulant child with narcissism issues.
