JD Vance called Trump an idiot, and I don't think either of them is aware of it.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jun/17/israel-iran-conflict-live-updates-tehran-trump-evacuation-middle-east?filterKeyEvents=false#liveblog-navigation

In a lengthy post on social media, JD Vance responded to “a lot of crazy stuff” concerning the United States’ involvement in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, including fears from longtime members of Donald Trump’s far-right Make America Great Again coalition.

“The president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military’s focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens,” Vance wrote. “He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president. And of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.”


25 years of "idiotic" foreign policy? That would include the years that Trump was president, wouldn't it JD? Was Trump's foreign policy idiotic? Do tell.
