“We don’t need a deal with Iran,” says Trump. Vance should respond accordingly. 
Deal Not Needed
I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters. Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood! 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! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

Vance Blames Trump’s War
In a post on X, Vance spoke his mind, blaming the election.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
Focus on Fraud
The New York Times reports Trump Says He’s Pulling Vance Off Iran Talks to Focus on Fraud Campaign.
“We don’t need a deal with Iran,” Mr. Trump wrote on social media. “Those days have long since passed.”
The post deepens questions about what Mr. Trump’s plan is to end the war. The president has been weighing a number of options, including ramping up military strikes, withdrawing and leaving the matter to Arab allies or simply maintaining the status quo.
Mr. Trump had assigned Mr. Vance, who privately expressed opposition to going to war with Iran, to lead negotiations earlier this year.
Shortly after Republicans suffered heavy losses in the midterm elections, Mr. Vance placed the blame for Republicans’ wipeout in the midterm elections squarely on the war with Iran, offering a striking critique of the Trump administration’s agenda and messaging.
Mr. Trump told reporters that he was not upset by the post. “A lot of people didn’t like his comments,” he said. “But not me.” [Mish: Yeah, right]
In a recent “60 Minutes” interview, Mr. Trump suggested he was no longer worried about the country’s nuclear capabilities, his stated reason for starting the war.
The End of Political Careers
On October 22, 2026, I commented Ramaswamy’s Pedophile-Defending Ad in Ohio May Be the End of His Political Career I also commented on Vance.
Question of the Day
Q: Why or how could anyone be stupid enough to run that ad?
A: DesperationThe bipartisan backlash was quick except by J.D. Vance who is going to regret his stupid comments.
J.D. Vance Defends the Ad
Yesterday, NBC reported J.D. Vance tells Ohio Republicans to ‘stop whining’ about ad with Acton’s mother
“Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern,” Vance said.
Listen to whiner J.D. Vance siding with pedophiles in attack ads. Well, that’s par for this administration.
And look at hypocrite Ramaswamy running the stupidest political ad in history whining about wanting a campaign run on issues.
Even Ohio’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine could not take it.
Incompatible Minds
Following Vance’s incredible stupidity of supporting Ramaswamy, Vance then spoke his mind, effectively blaming Trump the war and the subsequent election massacre.
Vance’s first error was inexcusable to every sensible person.
His second mind speak was inexcusable to Trump.
Vance Should Resign
Since Vance’s political career is over anyway, he should preserve the last bit of integrity he has (assuming he has any left), and resign.
There is no point in being point man on an external witch hunt when the witch is in the White House.
It’s like OJ leading the search for Nicole Simpson’s killer.
Polymarket Odds

Amusingly, there is a Polymarket Contract for this, currently 11 percent, unchanged on this news.
I cannot fathom the December 31, 2027 market opening at 53 cents but the contract quickly plunged to more reasonable numbers.
Now at 11 cents, it’s not a bad bet on this news.
Otherwise, Vance is in for two years of humiliation, blame, and sh*t tasks like the one Trump just assigned if he says on.
If he resigns, it’s mostly over in a month.
OK Mish, What If?
- If a U.S. Vice President resigns, the office becomes vacant, and the President nominates a replacement who must be confirmed by a majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate under Section 2 of the 25th Amendment. legalclarity.org
- Resignation mechanics: Federal law requires a signed, written resignation delivered to the Secretary of State; that instrument is the primary evidence of the resignation (3 U.S.C. § 20). legalclarity.org
- Filling the vacancy: Section 2 of the 25th Amendment states: “Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.” There is no fixed constitutional deadline for nomination or confirmation—the timeline depends on how quickly the President acts and how long Congress takes to consider the nominee. constitution.congress.gov
- The new Vice President serves the remainder of the term.
Historical Precedents
- John C. Calhoun (1832): He resigned amid policy clashes with President Andrew Jackson (Nullification Crisis) to take a Senate seat. Because this predated the 25th Amendment, the office stayed vacant until the next inauguration. politico.com
- Spiro Agnew (1973): He resigned amid a bribery and tax investigation. President Richard Nixon nominated House Minority Leader Gerald Ford two days later. Congress held hearings and confirmed Ford (who took office in December 1973). After Nixon’s later resignation, Ford became President and nominated Nelson Rockefeller, who was also confirmed under the same process. congress.gov

Somehow I think JD Vance will uncover immense amounts of fraud with Hunter Biden’s laptop.
there isn’t anything to negotiate.
we signed a deal. Iran insists we honor it.
as for Trump’s court politicians, they deserve what’ has come and what is coming.
Vance is under no constitutional obligation to do anything other than wait for the Presidency to be vacant. He should just tell Trump to F off and collect his paycheck (and eventual pension) the next two years.
I actually think it’s a good idea to pull Vance off the Iran war as long as his “fraud” duties focus on investigating, exposing and prosecuting the perpetrators of the Epstein files-starting with Donald Trump.
You’ve really been killing it MIsh! Another great article!
How depressing that Vance is allowing himself to get beat up by the Orange Turd. He should tell Trump either he settles the Iran war or he walks to salvage what he can for a 2028 run.
BTW, I was listening to another blog yesterday and it really should be the Secretary of State (Rubio) who should be talking to Iran, Russia, Israel, etc. Rubio is attending Florida football games and thus MIA. Trump is truly delusional and should be removed from office by impeachment.
Vance has to have the courage to speak up to Trump and if Trump refuses to allow him to solve this mess THAT TRUMP CREATED, then he needs to walk. He can use the spare time to seek redemption and run in 2028. If he has a brain, come up with some plans to deal with our debt, MIC expenditures, welfare/immigration reform, entitlements and a plethora of problems that need to be resolved in the country.
True but Marco has proven he couldn’t negotiate his way out of a wet paper bag.
Incredulously, Ramaswamy STILL acting like the lower than whale pool was somehow okay only verifies the scum is nothing more than pond scum. You can take the person out of the mobile home park, but you can’t take the mobile home park…
BTW, Trump acting like hiding the Iran situtation will go away is nothing but his ignorant fanciful thinking. (Now that he’s been toasted on the horrible war decision.) Iran’s nuclear situation IS NOT GOING AWAY. More likely they’re emboldened by HAVING that card and will try and play a North Korean redux.
Vance isn’t going to resign. His best chance at the Presidency is playing the decent odds that his boss dies before the end of his term.
Hey Mish, I’d argue for the reverse scenario: Trump stepping down so Vance could take over as President with Marco Rubio as Vice President. Having those two leading the administration would likely yield meaningful structural results in the first three months…..
Trump will not resign but it is conceivable the 25th amendment comes into play
When Vance said the Iran war was the problem and Trump agreed, Israel got mad. Netanyahu, who wants America to attack Iran, bitch-slapped Trump and told him to fix the problem. Now Vance is told by Trump to focus 100% of his attention on Democrat fraud and corruption within America. That should keep Israel happy for now. And isn’t that what being the American President is all about?
Vance is an opportunist and controlled by palantirs peter thiel
They are the epstein class my bet he does not resign
And the idea that Vance is a catholic is a total crock as he did this thinking that he can get millions of votes from catholics
