Trump angered by Vance's midterm analysis blaming Iran war for GOP loss

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

Donald Trump was blindsided and angered by Vice President JD Vance's post-midterm analysis blaming the Iran war for the GOP's defeat, according to far-right activist Laura Loomer, citing a White House official. Vance's 614-word statement argued voters who backed the Trump-Vance ticket in 2024 switched to Democrats over the war, inflation, and Israel policy. Trump publicly agreed with Vance's takeaway but added he would repeat the decision to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Loomer claimed Trump did not approve the statement and that an "ecosystem" is misleading the public about his reaction. Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles, who knew of the post, was fired a day later.
