The White House described Trump’s press conference with Vice President JD Vance as evidence that the entire administration is on the same page about the Iran war.
Reports circulated that Vance was not enthusiastic about the war and was described as skeptical about the operation.

Vance backed up his support for the war by claiming that all other presidents are stupid, but Trump is smart, so he’s staying with Trump in this war.
The reality is that Vance needs Trump because he wants to sit in the big chair in the Oval Office one day, and he can’t get the Republican nomination without continuing to be Trump’s lackey.
The press conference wasn’t about JD Vance, it was about Donald Trump.
In some very unintentionally revealing answers, Trump demonstrated the mindset that led to failure in Iran.
Please watch my video below about how Trump’s Iran War failed:
Trump demanded gratitude to America’s allies for trying to drag them into a war they didn’t ask for:
I don’t expect to thank you, but they should thank us. Japan gets 95%, China 91%. Many of the countries, South Korea, get a huge percentage of their oil and energy from the Strait, the Strait, or as they call it, the Strait, and they should not only thank us, they should help us. What surprises me is that they are unwilling to help. But there are some countries that have disappointed me very much, and I am the one who made them pay 2 to 5% of GDP to NATO. And I get along well with these countries in NATO.
But I’ve always said the problem with NATO is that we will always be there for them, but they will never be there for us.
That’s problem No. 1. Trump has never tried to build a coalition to support action against Iran. He simply assumed that America’s allies would go along.
They don’t have that.
