JD Vance: This just didn't pass the smell test...

Published | Video Starts at 03:35

What is different about President Trump, and it's frankly different about both Republicans and Democrats of the past, is that he's not going to let his country go to war unless there's a clearly defined objective. He's defined that objective as Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and has to commit long term to never trying to rebuild their nuclear capability. If it's pretty clear, it's pretty simple. And I think that means that we're not going to get into the problems that we've had with Iraq and Afghanistan. (03:35–03:41)
