We’ve already talked about how Donald Trump uses his vice president, JD Vance, as a human shield. Vance is so ambitious and wants so much to become the next president that he willingly allowed himself to be the person responsible for Trump’s failure.
Trump named Vance the lead negotiator for the Iran deal. Trump put Vance front and center in the media to defend this deal, and Vance ate it up. Vance did the press conference at the White House on Thursday, and it was a complete failure.

On Saturday, Vance went on one of the biggest pro-Trump shows on all of media, Fox and Friends, and said:
Jared and Steve have been on the ground for a few hours to take care of some technical elements of this negotiation. As you know, one of the president’s priorities is to open the straits. It has now happened.
Yesterday we extracted 16 million barrels of oil from the Strait of Hormuz. This is a record that dates back even before the start of the conflict. So you see these ships moving.
Vance is selling this whole peace deal. The problem is that the deal imploded thanks to Netanyahu.
