'How humiliating': JD Vance ripped as his confident Iran boast unravels in real time

06/20/26 6:04 PM

Vice President JD Vance is facing online mockery after a boast about the recent Iran deal backfired.Vance went on Fox & Friends Weekend on Saturday morning to tout Trump's new Iran deal. He told the Fox program, "My understanding, talking to Steve and Jared this morning, is that things are going well," referring to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner."The United States has all the cards," Vance continued. "The straits are now open."Less than a few hours after he made those comments, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, and online commentators let him have it."How humiliating," writer Polly Sigh reacted on X."Steve and Jared - the two who completely bungled these negotiations from the start which led us into this mess," added MeidasTouch, a political news network."Talking to Steve and Jared. Good lord," wrote Missouri Democratic congressional candidate Fred Wellman."He's not a particularly good liar," veteran journalist Bill Kristol said. "But he's certainly a shameless one.""Believe nothing that comes out of his mouth," Middle East and geopolitical analyst Matthew RJ Brodsky posted."Trump has given Vance enough rope to hang himself," economist and author Anders Aslund wrote. "Witkoff and Kushner are no negotiators, nor knowledgeable. The US has no cards.""We said Uno. Iran said Draw Four," writer and podcaster Hemant Mehta posted, playing off Vance's card metaphor."It might be time to retire the 'we have all the cards' metaphor," University of Ottawa professor Roland Paris suggested. "Given how obviously the administration is being outplayed by those who supposedly don't have any cards."Norman Ornstein, a political scientist and contributing editor for The Atlantic, simply reacted, "Hahahahahahahahaha."

'Ummm…': Trump's 'erratic' speech sparks concerns he's 'exceedingly unwell'

06/17/26 5:40 PM

The internet fired off stunned reactions on Wednesday as President Donald Trump gave a meandering speech after the G7 Summit in France.Trump spoke about the Iran agreement from Évian-les-Bains and talked for more than 40 minutes on a stage with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick standing behind him.Political and media experts commented on the president's demeanor and claims."This is one of the most erratic press conferences I think I've ever seen from Trump.

'When you've lost the NY Post': MS NOW panel piles on Trump's Iran disaster

06/17/26 1:29 PM

At the end of a segment on Donald Trump’s Iran deal, which is being highly criticized across the board as a disaster, MS NOW host Willie Geist made a point of holding up in the front page of Wednesday’s edition of the New York Post featuring a blaring headline criticizing the president.Prior to Geist’s display, each member of the “Morning Joe’ panel took a shot at the president now that details of his memorandum of understanding (MOU) have been leaked, with the Financial Times’ Ed Luce offering, “It doesn’t even pass the laugh test.”“Iran today is a considerably stronger regional power, considerably more threatening one to Israel and other of America's allies than it was on February 28th,” he continued. “There is no other way to see this than as a complete capitulation, capitulation by President Trump. And really a moment, I think of, well, I'm not going to use the word shame, but I mean, a really bad moment for the United States.”After co-host Mika Brzezinski shared a clip of Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) stating, “Until I get more specific information, I'm going to hesitate to say anything more about it,” conservative New York Times columnist David French interjected, “This should go before the Senate, at the very least. This is absolutely a treaty by any understanding of the word. So yeah, the United States Senate should weigh in here. But the problem is and they'll know this if they say no to this, if they say no, what does that mean?”“Does that mean a very unpopular war restarts? Does that mean that negotiations restart? What's next?” he added. “Because we were sort of led into this war without these kinds of questions being asked and answered on the front end. Here we are in the allegedly back-end with Congress trying to reassert itself, but no real Plan B here at all.”That led Geist to hold the Post front page with the headline, “LOVEBOMB” followed by "Prez says Islamic regime not radical,’ his deal showers mullahs with cash –– and no sanctions.”He remarked, “I would just point out the New York Post this morning. A rare moment when you've lost the New York Post. ‘Lovebomb,’ the New York Post ripping President Trump on this deal for showering, it says, this regime with money, the lifting of sanctions and this $300 billion investment fund for funding the radical regime. That's The New York Post going after Donald Trump.” - YouTube youtu.be
