Chapter 1: What actions has JD Vance taken that undermine Trump?
You better watch your back, Donald Trump, because J.D. Vance seems like he's continuing to throw you under the bus. He sees that you are physically and cognitively deteriorating at a very rapid pace. And J.D. Vance keeps on leaking to the media that he's the real decision maker in the White House, that he was the reason why the war in Iran now has a ceasefire. He was the reason
that there was a voice of dissent in the White House telling you, Donald, not to invade Iran. But you made the decision with Hegseth and Netanyahu and others, while Vance said he was the one who was saying, Donald, don't do it. J.D. Vance keeps on leaking.
to the new york times my opinion and to other outlets to cast himself as someone who is ready to take over the white house at a moment's notice as donald trump's health is rapidly declining and he's throwing donald trump under the bus in so many ways you know i don't think that donald trump even read
or even knew about the 10-point ceasefire plan, Iran's framework, because either Donald Trump didn't read it or Donald Trump just knowingly entered into a deal that gave iran quite literally everything iran could have wanted in its wildest imagination of its wish list right iran their 10-point plans as the u.s military bases in the middle east all need to be shut down. The U.S.
needs to give full reparations to Iran. Iran can continue to enrich all of its uranium. Iran gets security guarantees for itself, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Shiite militias in Iraq. Iran has all the sanctions against it removed. Iran is recognized as a major player now in geopolitical affairs. And apparently, J.D. Vance was in the room.
He was the one who told Donald, hey, Donald, I think you gotta do this deal. It's a really strong deal. And I think J.D. Vance, in my opinion, knows that Donald Trump is cognitively and physically declining. I think he knows the fear that Donald Trump had as he saw the markets crashing. And the US framework for negotiation was a 15-point plan of basically full surrender for the Iranians.
The Iran plan Their negotiation strategy was a full surrender for the United States.

Chapter 2: How is JD Vance positioning himself in relation to Trump's health?
And so people were wondering, how could you bring these sides together when Iran said it wasn't going to move off of its 10-point framework for negotiations unless Trump just adopted the 10-point framework? I don't think Donald Trump knows the difference between the number 15 and the number 10. I think Donald Trump was desperate for a deal. He's pathetic. He's a very weak negotiator.
He knew that the deadline that he set could not be met. He was too scared to execute on his plan, although he talked a big game about blowing up the Iranian civilization. And who was in the room, who swooped in to kind of finalize the deal and tell Donald Trump to take it, which will go down as the worst deal in American history.
And this is the biggest, most embarrassing, most humiliating loss in American history. So J.D. Vance casts himself as the person who helped bring peace. That's how he tries to frame it, which is BS. while having Donald Trump take the brunt of the fact that you just gave up everything. You surrendered, Donald. You see what J.D. Vance has been doing here?
And then yesterday morning, we read this New York Times expose about how the war in Iran started, and it could have been avoided, Trump's unlawful invasion. And it looked like it was written by J.D. Vance. It talked about how strongly J.D. Vance was working behind the scenes to stop Donald Trump from going to war with Iran. And J.D. Vance was yelling at Netanyahu and yelling at Hegsip.
And he was the voice of reason behind the scenes. But he couldn't prevail upon Donald Trump because Donald Trump was bloodthirsty. Remember that, he bloodthirsty is how Axios said it. New York Times didn't use that exact language, but they described, you know, a frenzied and frantic Donald Trump, you know, working with Netanyahu and Hegseth and others, but Vance was the voice of reason. J.D.
Vance was also taking a major international trip in the past 24 hours where, you know how Donald Trump is a Putin puppet, in my opinion, a Putin sycophant, a Putin bootlicker, right? I think J.D. Vance is angling himself to be kind of that Putin snake, that Putin sidekick, if you will.
because jd vance took that trip to hungary he held the campaign rally with victor orban he attacked brussels he attacked the european union he told the people vote for victor orban he gave a lot of kremlin talking points right jd vance in my opinion if you look at what he was saying in hungary he was just spewing putin talking point after putin talking point after putin talking point
And so I think you put these puzzle pieces together and also other statements J.D. Vance has made recently saying, you know, if something happens to Donald Trump's health, he's incredibly healthy. We all know that. Right. But if something were to happen, I've got to be ready to step in on day one. Right. So I think there's an intense amount of pressure going on there.
I think Donald Trump knows what's happening and he's getting deeply paranoid. And I think when Donald Trump was saying recently in one of those speeches, I love surrounding myself with losers and stupid people, that was his way of attacking J.D. Vance, who he now sees as a threat in trying to basically undermine him in every way as people are seriously talking about the 25th Amendment.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the 10-point ceasefire plan with Iran?
I don't think it holds. When you actually dig into it, I mean, Iran says it controls the Strait of Hormuz. I should have mentioned that earlier. And it will charge $2 million per ship that goes through the Strait of Hormuz. And it will maybe allow 10 ships a day, where in the past it was 150 ships a day. And the Iranian army will be the ones who take these ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
And so, I think with dynamics like that, once the details are kind of more known, which they should be known, I think this falls apart quickly. And when it falls apart quickly also, who's it gonna fall apart on? It's gonna fall apart on Donald and waiting in the wings I think is J.D.
Vance, again, who's ready to pounce and be like, look, I'm the guy who's trying to make it work, and I've been working with the Chinese, and I've been working with the Russians, and I've been working with all of that. But, again, I'm not going to try to be conspiratorial here. Is there a plan there at this point to try to push Donald Trump aside and put J.D. Vance in power?
Because, let's face it, I mean, I don't think J.D. Vance is going to be electable, you know, at this point. Wildgrain is the first to bake from frozen subscription box for sourdough breads, artisanal pastries, and fresh pastas.

Chapter 4: How has JD Vance influenced U.S. foreign policy decisions?
It's wild, it's wild. So there was that story. As Jeet here explains, it's very telling that Vance has been leaking to suggest he opposed the war before it started and was the lone dissenter in the White House, and that he played a key part in this ceasefire, but distanced himself from the actual terms of the ceasefire, right? Early yesterday,
This was the article, How Trump Took the US to War with Iran. In a series of Situation Room meetings, Trump weighed his instincts against the deep concerns of his vice president and a pessimistic intelligence assessment. Here's the inside story of how he made the fateful decision. As Matthew Iglesias says, important lesson here from J.D. Vance for all high-level politicos.
If you give the scoops, you get to shape the narrative. Here's what it said. The reporting underscores how closely Mr. Trump's hawkish thinking aligned with Netanyahu's over many months, more so than even some of the president's key advisors recognize.
Their close association has been an enduring feature across two administrations, and that dynamic, however fraught at times, has fueled intense criticism and suspicion on both the left and the right of American politics. And it shows how, in the end,
Even the more skeptical members of Mr. Trump's war cabinet, with the stark exception of Mr. Vance, the figure inside the White House most opposed to full-scale war, deferred to the president's instincts, including his abundant confidence that the war would be quick and decisive. The White House declined to comment. Who do you think's feeding that information? Come on. That's coming from J.D.
Vance. Remember a few weeks back when J.D. Vance, or recently, I'm not sure if it was a few weeks back, but it was recent, this interview, where he says, yeah, Donald Trump's very healthy, but I'll be ready if tragedy strikes. What a strange thing to say. I'll be ready if tragedy strikes. Play this clip.
You seem to go with the flow pretty well. Do you have quiet moments? You think about that?
Yeah, honestly, Sean, I try not to. I mean, one, I serve under Donald Trump, who is very healthy. He casts a pretty big shadow. He casts a big shadow. But if I served under Joe Biden, I'd probably be worried every minute of every day that he was going to croak and that I'd have to become president. But because I serve a president. president. I'd never be able to sleep.
I'd always have my cell phone as loud as possible. But no, the president, one, you know, he's got a lot of energy. He's extremely healthy. So I don't think about that. Obviously, that's part of the job is you've got to be ready if tragedy strikes.
