I love how JD fails whatever he touches…he is such a grifter!

I’ve been confused about this the entire administration. Negotiating with foreign countries is the responsibility of the State Department. Where is Lil Marco, and what is he doing if not his job?

Opening up more gifting room for Trump and Jared.

I mean… after his visit, the Pope died, Orbán lost the election, and the first negotiations already failed. And now Trump sidelines him. What a streak.

and another one goes under the bus – but unlike Hegseth – Patel – Noem – Bondi etc. – Vance is an elected official and cannot be fired – but at this point he’s got about as much chance of getting elected in his own right as Gerald R Ford had ..

1 Vance is a whatever you want donut order. He has no charm.
2 Anyone with bibi/trump looming over their shoulder would probably fail at negotiating
3 The JCPOA originally took 20 months to make
4 trump prob wants vance close to trump bc he’s prob worried about vance using the 25th to remove him

There is no way Iran will take this negotiations seriously… they already really don’t trust Jared and Witkoff, doubt they would even attend this meeting

JD Vance is the person in class who aces all the tests where all that’s required is memorizing facts, but when it’s time to break into groups and problem solve with critical thinking, he shrinks into the background and has little to say.
He’s an overachiever, a fast riser, a title accumulator. That’s where it ends. He’s not a leader, he’s got negative charisma, he’s not a talented political operator, and he’s shown no capability to *get things done* since he’s emerged as a political figure. He’s a tryhard, a poser, and an empty suit. His top attributes are being an asshole on social media, slickly changing his (public) positions to ladder climb, and keeping his sugar daddy (Thiel) interested enough to keep writing checks.

Vance kept fondling the couches and it was distracting

I have heard the theory that the plan is for Vance to take over from Trump at some point. Probably after the midterms. Trump sidelining Vance is a sign that this is just not going to happen. Trump is a malignant narcissist who is going to try to cling to power until the day he dies. I just don’t see Trump quietly ceding power. Especially to someone Trump views as a flunky like Vance.

For once I can’t blame him. Would YOU want to talk to JD? I wouldn’t.

JD is disappointed he got stuck with a bench, not a nice soft and yielding couch. Benches leave splinters in awkward places.
Middle-Mix-7711 on
Vance got benched because last time he went he left a sticky mess on all the couches. They are still cleaning those couches and requested he not return.

That’s weird. Nytimes says JD Vance is leading the talks again. BC it went so well last time
Ok_Surprise_4090 on
Donald Trump is an awful negotiator, the only thing he knows how to do is threaten… which is why it’s hilarious that JD Vance is somehow *worse*.
As soon as JD Vance walks into a room everyone becomes inexplicably pissed off.

Benched bc he messes up the couches

Cuck bench activated.

I hope JD is at least turned on by all the humiliation because I have no clue what else he’s gotten out of his vice presidency.
SergeantBeavis on
Trying hard to be objective here, this is the first 1/4 way intelligent move Trump has made in this debacle. As others have stated, everything Vance touches just turns to shit. I was wondering, from the beginning why Rubio hasn’t been the negotiator, but I suppose Trump thinks Marco will give up too much as he’s an actual negotiator.
Now out of this fantasy thinking, this cluster f is becoming a bigger cluster f by the day. We now get to see the new and amazing ways the new clown will screw it up.

He’s a guy Trump would have verbally humiliated if they were in primaries against each other in 2024

They call him a master negotiator. You have to be braindead to actually believe that.
AndreLeGeant88 on
Anything with Witkoff and Kushner is just a financial shakedown. They think their hot shit because they’ve made billions being a conduit for MBS and the KSA

Helpful tip: when the headline is great and makes you want to party it’s probably Daily Beast fucking garbage clickbait.

Shouldn’t the Secretary of State be the person who is doing these negotiations? I’m really confused.
Extra-Ad5925 on
But he’s still probably sending Witkoff and Kushner because they’re so fucking effective

Which star negotiator is he sending in now? Stephen Miller?

What is this word “humiliating” you expect Vance to understand?

I feel like 80% of the time in negotiations was him just trying to explain Kalshi and Polymarket then winking.

Pretty sure he was set up to fail.
It’s like my boss sending someone to negotiate a contract, but we can’t change the price, payment conditions, resources, scope, or timeline….. but we need to close the deal!!!!!
