It looks like the Vance people are making a bet on Iran failure and he’s making his move for the MAGA America Firsters and others who believed the bs about Trump being the “peace president.” And maybe he figures he’ll get credit for it among other Iran skeptics too.:
Vice President JD Vance was skeptical of the U.S. striking Iran in the leadup to President Donald Trump’s decision to launch the war, two senior Trump officials told POLITICO.
Vance, who has long questioned U.S. intervention abroad, has publicly defended Trump’s Iran operation. But White House officials revealed that the vice president made his opposition known in the leadup, pulling the curtain open after months of speculation about Vance being far more tepid about military action than Trump.
Vance is “skeptical,” is “worried about success” and “just opposes” the war on Iran, a senior Trump official said via text message. The official was granted anonymity to speak about the vice president’s views.
A second senior Trump official said “his role is to provide the president and the administration, you know, all points of views of what could happen from many different angles and, you know, he does that. But once the decision has been made, he’s fully on board.”
He’s going to have to get a personality transplant to make this work for him. And the long knives are going to come out soon if this keeps. up.
Let the games begin.
