JD Vance In BIG Trouble After Text Reveals He Tried To Block Trump’s War Plans

Vice President JD Vance could have some big problems ahead of him after it was revealed that he tried to block Donald Trump’s attack in Yemen last week. This information was apparently not known by Trump, as he wasn’t included on the text message chain that was accidentally sent to a reporter. But now the truth is out that Vance tried to undermine his boss, which was actually a GOOD thing. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

As the fallout of course, continues, uh, from the disastrous text message reveal from the Trump cabinet this week. One thing that, uh, probably needs a closer look, and I'm sure Donald Trump himself is giving it a closer look, is the fact that in those messages, his own vice president attempted to block his military action in Yemen. And to his full credit, JD Vance was actually the voice of reason. He, he wasn't intelligent. He made a great argument. It's just that nobody else in the text gave a. So here you have the one time a member of the Trump administration tries to do the right thing, but the crazies, the nut jobs, the Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz, all of them were basically like, yeah, shut up jd. Um, in fact, you know, as somebody who is also a human being and knows how group texts work, it wouldn't surprise me if a second group text popped up after that that just didn't include JD Vance, because that's what happens in group text, right?

Let's be honest, when you got the one person in the group that's like Debbie Downer, kind of crappy, you just start a new one without that person. So I don't know if, uh, Atlantic Reporter Jeffrey Goldberg was added to that one, but I'm willing to bet it exists. But anyway, for those of you who may not know, here is what happened with JD Vance pushing back. Um, this is from the report, as I heard it, the president was clear green light to take on. The Houthis wrote sm, which has presumed to be Mr. Trump's senior aide, Stephen Miller, why should Iran's proxy get away? As under Joe Biden with shooting at navy ships and aircraft and blocking critical waterways for everyone but Iran, Russia, and China. The key exchange began March 14th, the day before US strikes on Yemen. When the signal user, Michael Waltz wrote, quote, team, you should have a statement of conclusions with taskings per the president's guidance, but not all preferred to take that guidance. I think we are making a mistake. The user, JD Vance replied, 3% of US trade runs through the Suez, the canal, blocked by Houthis fire, while 40% of European trade does. I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now. There's a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices in some, there's a strong argument for delaying this a month, doing the messaging work on why this matters, seeing where the economy is, et cetera.

So JD Vance openly to the other members of Donald Trump's cabinet was like, listen, this is dumb. This is dumb. For many reasons, this is

Dumb, mainly because, hey, this could really screw American consumers badly. Seemingly the first time JD Vance or anyone from this administration has ever cared about consumers. So credit where credit is due, JD Vance made a good, solid based argument against his boss, Donald Trump. And therein lies the problem because if Goldberg had not reported this, Trump would've never known. And now he does. He now knows that his own vice president, the man that he handpicked, because his last vice president wouldn't go along with his plans to overthrow the election results. This is slightly different, but still defiance. What does that mean for JD Vance? What does this mean for the future of the Trump administration? Does this mean that JD Vance is done for, is Trump gonna kick him out? Probably not. But I think it means something bad. Not for JD Vance, but something bad for America.
