I've done legal mediations and I've had cases involving past due mortgage payments that lasted longer than this. Unserious people who have no business being in power

Did he forget to ask them if they even said thank you?

Anybody surprised that a Vice President who doesnt even really know who he is failed to negotiate a peace agreement with the Iranians?

It was never going to succeed with those 3 imposing Trump’s will on the Iranians. Vance is a rude, arrogant moron. Witkoff is useless. Wtf is Kushner even doing there, the nepo appointee. Bring back professional diplomats instead of these idiots!
These talks weren’t meant to achieve anything.

Yeah, that’s not how ‘negotiations’ work.

Imagine spending 21 hours insisting you hold all the cards and the other side doesn't.

1. I think the word you were looking for there was "failure"
2. Nobody is surprised
3. Your terms and negotiating tactics were as ridiculous as this "war"— Joshua B. Hoe (@joshuabhoe.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 6:13 PM

They don’t know how war works and they don’t know how negotiations work—but they do know how grift works. Our oligarchs will make money, Putin will make money, and that’s the only "victory" they care about. As a war this is obviously a defeat for the US—had the US won it would be dictating terms.

I've had negotiations with my wife over what to have for dinner that lasted longer than this

If only there had already been a deal in place with Iran.
I know someone who got Iran to agree to give up their nuclear program

Obama's agreement with Iran took 4 years to negotiate. Throwing in the towel after one day? Seems like maybe JD sucks as a negotiator.
