JD Vance Whines About Iran’s “Trash Talk” of Trump
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
JD Vance blamed Iran's "trash talk" for nearly torpedoing peace talks on Sunday, after aggressive comments from President Trump caused Iran to pause negotiations.
"What we told the Iranians yesterday is that when you guys engage in what us millennials might call 'trash talk,' you can't expect the president of the United States not to respond, and not to correct the record," Vance said on Newsmax Monday morning.
As Vance met with Iran's parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and other Iranian officials in Switzerland, the president was firing off insults from miles away.
"Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don't, we'll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!" Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday.
The comments were seemingly triggered by Iran's threats to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israel's continued bombing of Lebanon, which Iran claims is a violation of the 60-day ceasefire deal.
Trump told Fox News journalist Trey Yingst Sunday morning that he spoke with Iranian officials over the phone about the closure, telling them, "You close it and you won't have a country … you won't even make it back to your f—ing country."
In response to these comments, Iranian state media declared the talks had been paused.
"They would do better to be careful about their statements," Qalibaf said after Trump's comments, according to PBS . "Our armed forces are prepared to respond to them in a different manner. They may keep talking, it is we who act."
Ultimately, Iranian negotiators did not walk away, and the talks were able to continue. Vance said the talks resulted in "a lot of good progress," and had laid the groundwork for a final deal. But rather than acknowledge that this progress happened despite Trump's comments, Vance blamed the Iranians for the holdup. "There was a little bit of threatening, there was a little bit of whining, but at the end of the day the talks continued and we made great progress," he said.

Iran's trash talk? What do they (Vance etc) expect? Trump bragged that he would end their civilization, I think "trash talk" is a pretty minor thing in that light.
Trump posted memes of himself dumping tons of shit on American citizens, dressed as the pope, pretending to be Jesus, sat and watched while one of his "gladiators" called a former first lady "a man", etc, but he should not have his "dignity" insulted by an adversary country?
LOL.
