Trump pulls Vice President JD Vance off Iran negotiations

politicsNov 12, 202691732

President Donald Trump said on Nov. 12 he has directed Vice President JD Vance to stop working on efforts to resolve the war with Iran and instead give his "complete and total attention" to alleged crime and corruption in Democratic-run cities and states. Trump wrote "We don't need a deal with Iran" and said the U.S. already controls the Strait of Hormuz and holds "Hundreds of Billions of Dollars." The move followed a Wall Street Journal report that Vance was considering face-to-face peace talks with a senior Iranian security official and came a week after Vance blamed the costly Iran war for Republicans' midterm election losses. Trump said targeting alleged fraud in Democratic jurisdictions could "quickly" balance the federal budget and added "CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership's blood." Vance is viewed as a leading contender for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination; his office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Reuters noted it has not confirmed the potential Vance-Iran meetings, and the announcement marks a public shift from Trump’s recent suggestion that Iran might be more willing to strike a deal after U.S. elections.

AES should ask to swear in on the Quran Thomas Jefferson owned.

Fuck MSM8

People that have a problem with that can fuck right off.

If that is his holy book that's what he should swear on. Personally, I would choose to swear on a copy of the constitution.

JAYdee habibi will probably spontaneously COMBUST ! Right there, on national TV. This is one swearing in I really want to watch.

Trump has absolutely NO interest in governing anymore.His goal over the next 800 days will be to continue to enrich himself & family. His deportations and revenge programs will increase. He will continue to support Russia over Ukraine in this war.

JD Vance does the rare double of "insider trading" and revealing "a secret miltary operation." remember when they used to hang people outside a courthouse for this crap?

Trump says he wants JD Vance to investigate "Democrat run Citites and States" for corruption (ignoring that his regime has already been doing that for the last 2 years) and then adds "We don't need a deal with Iran" for some reason

@realDonaldTrump

I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive
Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue
States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters.
Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED
with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat
Leadership's blood! We don't need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We've got
their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we've got their Strait! Thank you for your attention
to this matter. President DJT

Trump rebuked JD Vance after he blamed Republican midterm losses largely on the Iran war. Vance’s apparent 2028 ambitions may be complicated as Trump insists he helped make the decision.

“We don’t need a deal with Iran" So many politically delicious layers here. Trump learned nothing from last week, and is charting a doubled-down course that will lead his party to ruin in 2028. And in doing so he just publicly diminished JD Vance. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/12/u...

Trump promised he’d get a better deal with Iran after he ripped up the JCPOA. Instead, we’re mired in a war with Iran that JD Vance and Trump can’t negotiate us out of.

LOL…Iran has held the US military to a standstill so Trump is giving up on the unnecessary war and charging “expert” JD Vance, to go after governmental corruption which for some reason is ONLY within Democratic cities? The clown show continues. Meanwhile, how much has Trump made in his second term?

Out today in The Hut: a Q&A w/ @mattgertz.bsky.social on how Fox & Friends landed at the center of the Anyone But JD movement. straightfromthehut.substack.com/p/jd-vances-...

Let’s get into the hosts here. This is the part I really nerd out about, and I think that people sort of think, “Oh, it’s just ‘Fox & Friends.’ How different could it be from the other Fox News shows?” Maybe we start with Kilmeade, then Ainsley Earhardt, then Lawrence Jones (the Steve Doocy replacement). What kind of vibe are they giving off about who they want for 2028, or the selective areas where they seem to be critical of a Republican like Vance, or anyone else around Trump?

I think Vance’s statement — coming out and basically attributing the entire election defeats that Republicans suffered to the Iran war — was, certainly for this group of people, a huge misstep. Kilmeade is the figure on Fox and France who’s been there the longest, since the very beginning of the show in the 1990s, and has a long-standing relationship with Donald Trump, dating back to the period in which Trump was making these weekly scheduled appearances on the show before his run for president. And Kilmeade is also a major hawk, someone who tends to look for ways to use military force. So he viewed, or at least portrays, Vance’s effort to blame the war as a betrayal of Donald Trump. And that is a good strategy for getting Donald Trump interested, because first and foremost, Trump is interested in whether people are for him or against him. Kilmeade refers to this as Vance “wildcatting,” going off on his own, and saying that this hurts the country.

Earhart also has a pretty close relationship to Trump, and I wonder if, to some extent, she’s giving some of Sean Hannity’s views — they just got married — in ways that he wouldn’t want to do directly, but she is very much pushing Ron DeSantis right now. That seems to be the sort of primary focus for her.

And Lawrence Jones, I guess is the least engaged on this.
