Vance is gonna get played like a fiddle by Iran and Trump will blame him when it falls apart, just watch. This admin couldn't negotiate their way out of a paper bag.
Me think you no understand Trump brain big, Iran respect strength not weakness like before.
Trump's just bored and playing 4D chess in his head again, meanwhile there's actual negotiations happening and he's tweeting about his guys like it's a reality show.
You mean the Iran talks are actually moving forward, or just back-and-forth posturing like usual?
So Trump is "monitoring" Vance instead of actually leading the negotiations himself? That's either hilarious or terrifying depending on how you look at it.
If Vance actually pulls off an Iran deal Trump couldn't, watch how fast the credit-taking narrative flips around here.
Trump monitoring his VP instead of actually negotiating is peak "I hired someone competent and now I'm anxious about it" energy.
The fact that Trump is sitting around musing about his own VP instead of letting him actually do the work suggests these negotiations aren't serious yet.

Vance as a "peace broker" is rich coming from a guy who literally said he'd rather see Iran "turned to glass" a few years ago. People don't just flip on stuff this fundamental without reason.
Yeah, Vance's entire foreign policy platform is whatever gets him closer to the presidency—same con artist playbook Trump runs.
