JD Vance calls previous presidents 'dumb' except Trump
Published June 23rd, 2025 - 06:19 GMT ALBAWABA - In a recent interview with NBC News, US Vice President JD Vance sparked controversy on social media after stating that the previous presidents who have taken office over the past 25 years were "dumb," with the exception of Donald Trump. The US VP touched on subjects including Americans' concerns over going to war with Iran due to the country's ongoing tensions with Israel. The US recently bombed three Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Iran's advancement of nuclear weapons manufacturing and possession. Vance said, "I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of wars in the Middle East. I understand the concern. But the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents, but now we have a president who knows how to actually accomplish America's national security objectives."

We've got in, we've done the job of setting their [Iran] nuclear program back, and now we're going to work on permanently dismantling that nuclear program over the coming years." The statement reportedly took a jab at several US presidents who held office over the past 25 years, including Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. 25 years of war in the Middle East US soldiers gather at the scene an attack on a military vechile in the al-Mustansiriya neighborhood of Baghdad 01 July 2003.
