President Donald Trump said on Thursday the US does not need a deal with Iran and directed Vice President JD Vance, who has played a role in efforts to resolve the war, to focus "his complete ‌and total attention" on alleged crime and corruption in Democratic-run cities and states???

Trump's directive came a day after the Wall Street Journal reported that Vance was considering face-to-face peace talks with a hard-line Iranian security official and a week after the vice president blamed the costly war with Iran for Republicans' midterm elections drubbing.

Trump's comments marked a shift in tone after he had ⁠suggested in recent weeks that Iran would be more willing to strike a deal in the eight-month conflict after the US elections.

"We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!" (?) Trump wrote on social media, referring to the Strait of Hormuz, the critical shipping route near Iran where the US military has been working to secure safe passage for international shipping.
Trump said he asked Vance to focus instead on a domestic issue the president previously put in his portfolio: leading an effort targeting ‌alleged ⁠fraud in Democratic-run cities and states throughout the US. "Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large-scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood!" Trump wrote on Thursday. Vance's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Vance was considering meeting with ⁠a senior Iranian security official, a move that would have put Vance at the center of peace negotiations. Reuters has not confirmed the potential talks.

In order to set Vance up he (Vance) has to be Mr Opposite of Trump and clean up the Israel file.

Trump could resign handing the reigns to Vance which IMHO will happen this Spring.

I thought the same thing for a while, but… when in the spring, do you picture this happening? At what level of frustration before Trump walks away? Before or after Easter?

Possibly sooner at the MLK 1 week recess.

Schedule isnt out yet so pinning it is hard but its coming.

The exact 2027 congressional recess dates have not yet been officially released, as incoming House and Senate leadership finalize their calendars after the new session begins in January.
