I’m a fool to do your dirty work

You could want things done right, or alternatively you could delegate them to JD Vance:

Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that 21 hours of peace talks between the United States and Iran had failed to produce an agreement to end the war, leaving the fate of a fragile two-week cease-fire, and whether President Trump will resume major combat operations, uncertain.

“They have chosen not to accept our terms,” Mr. Vance said at a brief news conference in Islamabad, Pakistan, although he left open the possibility that terms could still be reached.

“We leave here with a very simple proposal: a method of understanding that is our final and best offer,” he added. “We’ll see if the Iranians accept it.”

Mr. Vance did not provide specifics, but said the United States needed an “affirmative commitment” that Iran would not seek a nuclear weapon or the tools with which to achieve one.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, told state media that disagreement on “two or three key issues” prevented a deal, but he did not say if Tehran planned to continue talking to the United States.

But at least you can’t deny that the youthful, energetic president and his actual top deputy were fully engaged with the process:

As Mr. Vance was detailing the impasse in negotiations, President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were at a sports arena in Miami for UFC 327, watching a video montage of past fights. Earlier on Saturday evening, from Washington, Mr. Trump had projected nonchalance, claiming it did not matter to him whether the U.S. delegation reached an agreement with Iran. “We win, regardless,” he said. “We’ve defeated them militarily.”

Admittedly, the only thing worse than a Trump completely checked out on this issue would be one more invested in it.
