During an interview with MNBC host Kristin Welker, Vance could not say enough good things about the president, stating at one time, "The Iranians are clearly not very good at war. Perhaps they should follow President Trump’s lead and give peace a chance. f they’re serious about it, I guarantee you the President of the United States is too.”

With regard to previous dealings with Iran, he said, "I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents, and now we have a president who actually knows how to accomplish America's national security objectives."


That set off a firestorm on social media, with one critic writing, "OMG I thought this was a joke. Talk about dumb."
