Trump says Vance was ‘philosophically’ different on Iran while downplaying split
DORAL, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said his vice president, JD Vance, was “philosophically a little bit different than me” at the outset of the war in Iran even as he dismissed the notion of a disagreement between the two. (😆)
Speaking to reporters on Monday at his golf club in Doral, Florida, the president said Vance was “maybe less enthusiastic about going” but insisted that his decision to launch airstrikes in Iran alongside Israel was necessary.
“I felt it was something we had to do,” Trump said. “I didn’t feel he we had a choice.”
Heading into a challenging election year, the war in Iran has stoked tension among Republicans, with some expressing reservations about how the operation fits into the “America First,” isolationist-leaning movement the party has embraced during the Trump era.
Few have embodied that movement as prominently as Vance, who over the course of a decade rose from an author to U.S. senator and ultimately vice president. He’s now considered a top contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, giving him the opportunity to carry Trump’s bowel movement into the future.
Vance reinforces Trump’s vision
Alongside his political rise, Vance, a former bi-curious Marine, has often reinforced Trump’s vision of an America more focused on solving problems at home than intervening in conflicts abroad. In a 2023 op-ed in The Wall Street Journal that’s garnered renewed attention after the Iran strikes, Vance wrote that Trump has his support because “I know he won’t recklessly send Americans to fight overseas.” 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
