| He’s the one guy Trump can’t fire though |

| ▲ | ElProlactin 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | He doesn't want to fire him. He wants to scapegoat him and make him unelectable in 28. | |

| ▲ | wat10000 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The Vice President is an elected official just like the President. He doesn’t work for the President and he’s not subordinate, he just has almost no power. The only way to remove a VP is death or impeachment. I suppose the President could induce death, but that’s not really firing per se. | | |
| ▲ | padjo 2 days ago | parent [-] | | He could literally throw him under a bus and not suffer any legal consequences. It's probably 50/50 whether or not senate Republican would vote to impeach him after that. |

| ▲ | Epa095 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Because he is the elected vice president, he answers to the people, not the president. | | | |

| Why? You think Iran will assassinate him? Trump obviously didn't have high expectation about the agreement in the first place. The US has been sending more troops and ships to ME nonstop. They didn't go to Pakistan in good faith (neither did Iran, I guess.) |

| ▲ | dh2022 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Because by not getting a deal he made Trump look bad - and Trump would thus fire him(in the US to throw someone under the bus means to assign blame and punish someone else) | | |
| ▲ | raincole 2 days ago | parent [-] | | But Vance is the vice president and Trump can't fire him? He is not Secretary of State. And I really don't think Trump looks worse than before. If they reached an agreement that allows Iran to take tolls for all the tankers passing, that would look really bad. |

| Actually, with Trump losing support in his own base, it's him they'll soon throw under the bus. I predict that Vance will run in 2028, by pretending that he was always against this war. Which is obviously a lie, but Republicans are used to that anyway. |
