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

newsJun 22, 20261175,002

Vice President JD Vance told the daytime TV show The View that President Donald Trump "would respond" if Iran "trash talks" U.S. negotiators, saying the president must step in to "correct the record." The remarks came after U.S. and Iranian negotiators left Switzerland following "encouraging" talks that established a joint committee to oversee negotiations, created a de-confliction cell to try to end Israel's war on Lebanon, and included an agreement to allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspections. Vance's framing of diplomatic criticism as a provocation signals the administration may pair coercive rhetoric with negotiations, increasing the risk that public insults or threats could destabilize fragile channels intended to prevent military escalation.

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

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

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.

Shai Hulud 🇺🇸 & 🇳🇬 & 🇮🇳92

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.

Now you see why JD is hated by both sides.

The bird says, "Prosecute ICE"33

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

Berta Massaro 💙🌊26

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

Sonvar22

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

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

Sloane1120

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

OKNova16

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.

When 7th grade boys run the govt

Debra Meeks12

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

Granuailynn11

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

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.

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

Denverite10

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”

SwiftFischer9

“Us millennials” dude get the fuck out of here with that

Stop Peter Thiel8

The USA is being run by ignorant liars.

GoBlueHalimi8

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.

Marie*6

How's about a wise and diplomatic response instead?

MTfromCC6

Says the king of trash talk. Trump and Vance have spent 17+ months delivering tons of trash talk, and not just to Iran. To our allies. To American citizens who don’t support him. But not Putin and Xi.

profpolisci.bsky.social6

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.

ogdennutgoneflake6

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

Derson5

It is we not us.

Fvcking Hadit Uptahere5

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?

Atina67🇳🇱🇪🇺5

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

nycgeo5

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

Your Liberal Friend5

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

justbegreene4

A mouthpiece of babble & no actual clue!

T. Boone Doggle4

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

Kim Insley4

How cute he thinks millennials invented the term "trash talk". He's also an ignorant loser, but that's another topic.

Simply Susan 💙4

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

jtunes6.bsky.social4

JD is fascist-splaining the Iranians just like he's fascist-splained the pope.

Coastside Observer4

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

krileyoconnor.bsky.social3

Trash talk is just like locker room talk. Totally innocent and usually just banter.

A.W.3

Didn't Vance, while in Switzerland, tell Iran to ignore what DJT had said as it was only rhetoric meant for his MAGA audience? Shouldn't someone quote him, and ask him if he's just talking to the MAGA audience now?

Chris Plourde3

Vance admitting MAGA America acts like a schoolyard bully is...refreshing.

LesnielBC 🇨🇦🇩🇰3

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

Victoria Stewart3

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

Jayme Ruimveld3

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

Lisa3

This government is a humiliation to the nation. And they think we’re “respected again”. We’re a laughing stock and a pariah, being left far behind by every democratic country who has rightly decided to just bypass us.

arcite.bsky.social3

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

Nonnie Ida3

Can someone move us back into the right timeline?

Menen Kim3

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

Charlie Mas3

What untrue statements have the Iranians made? What threats have the Iranians made? I know the untrue statements that President Trump has made. I know the threats that President Trump has made. Should the Iranians not respond in kind as you are telling them President Trump will?

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.

christy14.bsky.social2

The disgrace and humiliation of hearing Vance refer to them as "you guys". He did it on multiple occassions. It makes me cringe.

lillians2

My God...he is soo bad at this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They manage to reduce everything to the level of 12yo boys on the playground

* Iran's established strategy of retaliating against Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) energy facilities has already proven highly credible, as seen during the intense 2026 maritime conflict where Iranian drones and missiles successfully struck critical infrastructure across the region. *

I do so love watching millennials trying to talk tough. It's cute. Kid, I grew up with parents who didn't know if I was alive or dead until it got dark outside.

nemiesis.bsky.social2

JD reminds me why I don’t miss the corporate world, just dudes who sit around & trying to be relatable while coming up with dumb ideas & using catch phrases, if I ride a scooter through the office & use a backpack as a briefcase I am cool when I say we need silos of integration to boil the ocean.

ajparkes.bsky.social2

Is there any actual agreement? Inspections, ceasefire agreement that includes Israel, opening the Strait? Where are with this mess?

Katie Oliver2

OMG if Vance actually said these words to Iran he reinforced what they already know, what a total buffoon he is.

Tickles La Rue2

That whole answer seemed to exist only to point out that he is a millennial. Dude, trash talk isn't new for you. And you may be younger than Trump, but you are just a new version of short sighted and slightly stupid.

Caleb Mercer's Desk2

A little bit of threatening? What if Iran said the same thing Trump said?

The Mighty BMz2

Oh Lord, someone duct tape his mouth.

themedici.bsky.social2

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

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???

patientp.bsky.social2

We should be able to expect that the President will act like an adult not a middle schooler. These are serious times and this administration has no serious people.

Muad Lib2

Trump threatens Iran, Iran responds, VP clown says ‘Hey Iran! You can’t respond or there’s gonna be trouble!’
