As Vice President JD Vance holds meetings in Pakistan, President Trump is posting about the war on Truth Social. His latest post attacks the media for reporting anything other than Iran is “LOSING, and LOSING BIG!” He bragged about efforts to kill Iranian leaders and what he says is the U.S. military’s success in damaging Iran’s Navy, and missile and drone factories.”
“The only thing they have going is the threat that a ship may “bunk” into one of their sea mines which, by the way, all 28 of their mine dropper boats are also lying at the bottom of the sea,” he wrote. “We’re now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to Countries all over the World.” His claim about clearing the strait of mines could not immediately be confirmed.
I’d hardly call this throwing Vance under the bus, but then I’d hardly consider Daily Beast journalism, so it tracks.

>President Donald Trump has undermined his vice president while he is in the middle of peace talks, ranting on Truth Social about how supposedly successful his war with Iran has been.
“The Fake News Media has lost total credibility, not that they had any to begin with,” Trump, 79, wrote in a Saturday morning rant. “Because of their massive Trump Derangement Syndrome (Sometimes referred to as TDS!), they love saying that Iran is “winning” when, in fact, everyone knows that they are LOSING, and LOSING BIG!”
Trump went on to claim that Iran’s “Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft apparatus is nonexistent, Radar is dead, their Missile and Drone Factories have been largely obliterated along with the Missiles and Drones themselves and, most importantly, their longtime ‘Leaders’ are no longer with us, praise be to Allah!”
Has Vance even said thanks and praise be to Allah once? During this entire meeting?

Coming up next, Trump will shat his pants – literally and figuratively – for the whatever thousandth time and demand Vance make it look like Trump is super cool and very tough.. which we know is impossible, so Trump will “fire” the vice president because why the fuck not he can do whatever the fuck he wants in this methed up clown rodeo we call the United States in 2026.
Like any mouth breathing moron that signs on to work for Donald Trump, he will be used as a human shield until he’s become so unpopular in the court of public opinion, and broken the law so brazenly, he becomes a liability to Trump instead of a depreciating asset. Disposed of without thought and some other power hungry piece of human garbage will take his place.

And in the process throws peace-loving, prosperity seeking Americans under the same bus. Trump and his sycophants are evil pricks.

There is no room in Trump’s narcissism for Vance to have any success ending Trump’s optional Iran war.

Considering that Trump was ready to let a literal mob kill his VP at the end of his first term, anything he says or does shouldn’t come as a surprise to Vance. Remember them chanting “Hang Mike Pence?”

It is inevitable that Trump sees Vance as his biggest threat. There will be a breaking point where Vance has to officially step into position. If he approaches this while Trump has access to a phone, Trump will destroy all of his credibility. Likely Trump is going to attempt to install Jared or Junior as his successor by bringing up something damaging to Vance.
Vance wasn’t hired to be a successor, he was hired to be a non threat to Trump. Had he put someone ambitious like MTG as VP, she would have assassinated him and pardoned herself the second she took the oath. That is something Trump would have done. Pence and Vance are milquetoasts that could never even attempt the job and he will turn on Vance as he did Pence.
There are so many ways that this will likely come to a head soon and it will be messy. Trump has already turned his loyal hoard into mass violence. He has always sold out what isn’t his for his short term gain.
I’ve given up on an Emperor’s new clothes moment years ago, but health issues are likely going to bring change in the coming months.

With some help and practice, you can hone your journalistic talents… or maybe just buy a Thesaurus.
Everytime I see “bonkers” in an article title, I know who wrote it, and it just makes me take you less seriously. This isn’t a novel headline: you just found a way to use the word “bonkers”. Again. And again. And again…
Edit: Note to Editors…yes, we notice this lazy shit, and it is obvious that you aren’t even trying.

I hope so.
