President Donald Trump announced that he has directed Vice President JD Vance to drop negotiations to end the war with Iran and instead focus on alleged “CORRUPTION” in Democratic-run states. In a Thursday morning Truth Social post, Trump announced the new assignment for his vice president, who has spent months spearheading diplomatic efforts to end the conflict and recently blamed the war for Republicans’ devastating midterm election losses.
"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"
The announcement marks a significant change in Vance’s responsibilities just days after reports that he was leading renewed negotiations with Tehran. Vance had been considering direct talks with senior Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei as part of efforts to secure a settlement, according to The Wall Street Journal. The vice president, who has long expressed skepticism about American military interventions, publicly described Trump’s war as “the reason” Republicans lost control of Congress, which he added had driven up living costs.
Trump maintained that the military campaign was necessary and that he would not have handled it differently. His latest announcement also appeared to be a pointed dig at the escalating confrontation with Democrats following their electoral victories. Incoming House Oversight Committee chairman Robert Garcia has already warned administration officials and corporate executives to “lawyer up,” with Democrats preparing investigations into Trump’s business dealings, immigration enforcement and other administration activities. In a separate post that followed, the president explicitly called out Democratic lawmakers’ threats:
"If the Democrats want to 'root out corruption,' they should start with investigating Blue States, perhaps the most CORRUPT governmental structures and entities anywhere on Earth. Big time money is being stolen each and every hour of the day! President DJT"
The posts were part of a broader early-morning tirade by Trump, which began with him fuming at “CORRUPT AND EVIL” Democrats accusing his White House of corruption. Posting to Truth Social shortly before 6 a.m., Trump branded Democrats “the most Corrupt and anti-American groups of political leaders and hacks,” accusing them of attacking his administration to distract from “TREMENDOUS & UNPRECEDENTED” fraud in Democratic-run states.

We better figure this out before ‘28. Van Jones opened up the can of worms.
“Trump Orders Vance to Drop Iran Negotiations to Probe Blue State ‘CORRUPTION’”. Does this mean I will be receiving my 5K stimulus check Trump?
No new MOU?
There are a couple of rabbits that Trump could pull out of his butt that would really make my day. Incontrovertible proof that the election was stolen ( Blue Melanies wouldn’t believe it) and similar evidence that Iran was likely to unleash Hell on Earth in the next 3-4 years. .
Good luck with the former. Every deep red state candidate that lost has conceded.
As to the latter, the evidence could have been shared on February 28, the day hostilities began.
Regarding Iran too few will believe it until the first weapon explodes. Then it will somehow be the US’s fault. If it explodes here or on a US concern. People here claim there will be instant retaliation. Ha! Look at Ratlanders, the blue haired ring nosed tattooed Karens & Chads they’ll want a pause for self-reflection! They’ll conclude we deserved it! If a Ratland administration we do little to nothing it retaliation will not surprise me. Likely response talk a lot at international forums and send them a check to rebuild Iran.
Re: Iran, I'm hoping for.an explanation of the timing of activities. The public seems to think that they're entitled to high level intelligence in real time when a Republican is in office. Trump must have the big leaks plugged.

Legal consequences aside, do you think Abbott, Husted, or Hinson would have publicly thrown in the towel if they questioned the outcome? They and their teams were on Ground Zero, and the election processes in their states were governed by Republicans.
When GW Bush was preparing for war on Iraq, he shared the intel beforehand in order to get support. When JFK blockaded Cuba, he shared evidence of the Soviet missile build-up. Once we launched the attack on Iran on February 28 there was no longer reason to withhold all the intel from the American public. It’s been 257 days without a hint, which is why support (which was never very strong) has bled out.
I hope this goes better than their efforts to find illegal voters.
Maybe you missed the message or don’t want to hear it.
or maybe you have listened more to the media rather than what Trump has actually said and done.
Imprecise headline as constitutionally the President cannot
“order” the Vice President to do anything.
Our 2026 deficit will be about $2 trillion.
Does anyone take this claim seriously?
If the level of fraud was limited to a few dirty tricks, as happened in the Alaska Senate race and North Carolina, you have to go with an Occam's Razor answer; using the simplest explanation. The effects of price inflation, exacerbated by the Iran war, high interest rates, the increased costs of homes and new cars, TDS affecting the Democrat voter turnout, Trump's obsession with gold plated grandeur and epic monuments, his attacks on alt-right podcasters and bloggers thus alienating the younger white male voters who supported Trump in 2024, and a steady anti-Trump propaganda coming from.the legacy media and much of social media.
Maybe there was fraud, but the more likely reason was a perfect storm of conditions, both forced and unforced, that caused the Democrats to do so well.
I live in Illinois and I know they could find at least half of that in this state alone.
Will JD Vence certify the mid-term elections ala his dad, Mike Pence?
Stopped reading at “Mediaite”. But y’all go ahead and get all puffed up.
He’s not serious about election fraud if he sent JD to do a man’s job.
