President Donald Trump on Sunday rebuffed the vice president J.D. Vance a social media post blaming the war in Iran for Republicans’ midterm losses, saying Vance did not consider whether he would make the same decision again. Trump said he would.
“He was right, except for one thing,” Trump told reporters upon his return to Washington on Sunday evening. “He should have made another statement,” the president added, asking the question: “‘If you had to do it again, would you do it again?’ The answer is yes.
Trump said Vance’s comments did not affect their relationship, although he suggested they were not well received by everyone. “A lot of people didn’t like his comments,” Trump said. “But not me.”
In an interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” broadcast Sunday night, Trump said he didn’t know if Vance would make the same call again. His own response, he said, was “an emphatic yes, because you cannot let Iran have nuclear weapons.”
