JD Vance Is Shape-Shifting Again
In his short political career, Vice President JD Vance has already proven himself to be a political shapeshifter who morphs into whatever suits his political ambitions. It's how he went from being an anti-Trump CNN commentator to President Donald Trump's second in command in just eight years. Now he is ditching another persona, that of the anti-interventionist, as he tries to sell Trump's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities to a skeptical MAGA base and equally skeptical public.
In a speech Tuesday in Ohio, Vance unveiled what he called the Trump Doctrine, describing the attacks as an overwhelming success, even as preliminary reports suggest something far less.
