Only last week he talked about how short this war has been but the school bombing was a "long time ago." I can't think of more evil human being alive at the moment.
JD is the fall guy….
Congressional Republicans are already placing the blame on Vice President JD Vance for a "terrible" deal with Iran.
So can he run for prime minister of Israel?

1h ·G7 was a total success. Everyone thanked me. At first they said there will be seven of them, but 100s showed up,maybe more. And everyone said "sir, how do you do it? You brought the Iranians to their knees after Obama negotiated a terrible deal that limited them to 5% enrichment, and UN watching them". It wasn't easy, but I knew from my favorite German war leaders from 80 years ago that you have to be tough. Now Iran is begging us to buy their oil. Maybe we will, maybe we won't.

BREAKING: Even Fox News Allies Are Trashing Trump’s Iran Deal — So You Know It’s Bad
Donald Trump’s Iran deal is getting hit from the left, the right, and now from the one place he usually expects applause no matter what: conservative media.
Yes, even Trump’s own political neighborhood is looking at this agreement and asking the obvious question:
What exactly did America win?
The proposed 14-point framework with Iran is being promoted by the administration as a diplomatic breakthrough.
Naturally, that means it arrives with big words, dramatic claims, and just enough missing details to make everyone nervous.
The deal reportedly includes an immediate ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the U.S. naval blockade, temporary waivers for Iranian oil exports, access to frozen Iranian assets, and a commitment to keep talking for another 60 days.
So Iran gets money, oil relief, breathing room, and time.
America gets a promise.
Wonderful.
Because if there is one thing the Iranian regime is famous for, it is definitely keeping polite promises because Donald Trump said so.
The problem for Trump is that his conservative allies are not even pretending this looks strong. They are calling it weak, humiliating, pathetic, and even “American surrender.”
That is not exactly the victory parade Trump was hoping for.
Will Chamberlain, a conservative legal activist, called the deal “absolutely terrible” and said Trump should walk away from it. His argument is simple: Iran gets major immediate benefits while the United States gets very little in return.
Hard to argue with that.
The deal reportedly does not require immediate dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. It does not remove enriched uranium stockpiles. It does not seriously restrict Iran’s ballistic missile program. It does not dismantle Iranian-backed proxy groups like Hezbollah.
Other than that, fantastic deal.
Trump spent years mocking Obama’s Iran diplomacy as weak, terrible, and dangerous. Now he appears to be offering Iran billions in relief and reconstruction money in exchange for a framework that looks suspiciously like “please behave, we’ll check back later.”
The irony is so thick it may need its own sanctions package.
Mark Levin, one of Trump’s loudest defenders, praised the use of military force but blasted the agreement for giving away leverage before Iran makes real concessions.
His question was obvious: why surrender your strongest bargaining chips before the other side actually complies?
Excellent question.
Maybe someone should ask the world’s greatest dealmaker.
Other conservatives were even harsher. AG Hamilton mocked the agreement as a deal where Iran keeps its nuclear program, missile program, and terror proxy funding while offering a pinky promise not to build a full nuclear weapon.
That is less foreign policy and more diplomatic wishful thinking with a flag pin.
Mike Pence said the framework resembles the kind of appeasement Trump once claimed to oppose.
Nikki Haley called it a huge mistake. Erick Erickson called it American surrender.
When that many conservatives are sounding the alarm, Trump cannot simply blame “liberal media” and call it a day.
Even Piers Morgan, while glad Trump appears to be seeking an exit from the conflict, said the deal is nowhere near the “unconditional surrender” Trump’s allies once demanded. He also suggested Trump may regret getting into the mess in the first place.
That may be the most honest summary of all.
Trump started with threats, bombing, tough-guy speeches, and promises of dominance.
He ended with concessions, confusion, and a deal that even his allies are struggling to defend.
This is the Trump foreign policy pattern in full view:
Create chaos.
Declare victory.
Hide the fine print.
Demand applause.
But this time, even his own side is reading the fine print — and they do not like what they see.
Iran gets relief.
Trump gets a headline.
America gets another bad deal dressed up as strength.
