Vice President JD Vance broke his silence about the military strikes on Iran on Tuesday, bracing supporters of President Donald Trump for possible American military action in the conflict.
The vice president weighed in as supporters of the MAGA movement raged against each other over Israel’s bombing campaign, as some suggested the president had been duped by ‘deep state’ operatives in the intelligence agencies to start a war in the Middle East and betraying his ‘American first’ agenda.
Vance appeared aware of the raging online debate, citing ‘a lot of crazy stuff on social media’ and urged Trump supporters to trust the president.
‘I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue. And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish American people’s goals,’ Vance wrote in a lengthly post on Monday.
President Trump, Vice President Vance, and the administration's military advisors gathered in the Situation Room at the White House on Tuesday after the president cut his trip to the G7 summit short and returned to Washington, DC to monitor the conflict.
