JD Vance Dragged After Making Bizarre 'Skydiving' Analogy About His Wife To Explain Iran Ceasefire Deal

Vice President JD Vance attempted to explain to reporters the United States' position on Iran's right to enrich uranium by using an analogy about his wife going skydiving—and everyone is baffled.

Vice President JD Vance had critics raising their eyebrows after he used a bizarre analogy about his wife–Second Lady Usha Vance—going skydiving while attempting to explain the United States' position on Iran's right to enrich uranium.

Vance addressed reporters on the tarmac at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport as he left Hungary, where he had voiced the Trump administration’s support for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán only days before the country’s elections.


Vance was asked if he foresees "a scenario in which the administration may be willing to agree to allow Iran to continue enriching uranium for civilian nuclear purposes."

The question came after Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused the U.S. and Israel of already violating parts of a proposed ceasefire framework. Ghalibaf said three provisions of Iran’s 10-point plan for negotiations had been breached even before talks began, undermining the basis for the two-week ceasefire that was brokered with Pakistan’s help.

Ghalibaf cited several alleged violations, including continued fighting involving Lebanon, a reported drone intrusion into Iranian airspace, and disputes over Iran’s right to uranium enrichment under the proposed framework. Vance earlier confirmed President Donald Trump "said that we don’t want Iran enriching towards a nuclear weapon and we want Iran to give up the nuclear fuel."

Vance objected to one part of Ghalibaf’s statement—the claim that the U.S. was denying Iran’s “right to enrichment,” referenced in the sixth clause of the proposed framework.

To illustrate his point, he offered an oddball analogy:

“I thought to myself, you know what? My wife has the right to skydive, but she doesn’t jump out of an airplane because she and I have an agreement that she’s not going to do that because I don’t want my wife jumping out of an airplane."
"We don’t really concern ourselves with what they claim they have the right to do. We concern ourselves with what they actually do.”

You can hear what he said in the video below.

It was truly bizarre.



Does he know we can hear him?

Anti-Trump Stickers Keep Getting Spotted On Gas Pumps—And They're Absolutely Brutal

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's decision to join Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in attacking the country of Iran directly caused gas prices in the United States to soar and even Trump's MAGA minions aren't happy about it.

Many who are turning their back on Trump have cited the POTUS's negative impact on their cost of living and the influence Netanyahu, himself under investigation by his own country for corruption, has over the Trump administration.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is facing heavy criticism after claiming that Americans "want their tax dollars spent on things like" President Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund that may go to his allies and those who participated in the January 6 insurrection.

The Justice Department said last week it was creating the fund as part of a deal in which Trump agreed to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. But despite a press release, memo, and a newly-released settlement agreement, many details about the program remain unclear.

Getting a new pet is a big commitment, and when you decide to take the plunge, you should commit to keeping them for their full lifetime.

But if you're going to get an animal that you have no prior experience with, you also have to commit to doing your research so you can care for them properly. While getting advice from a fellow pet owner is helpful, it's always good to double-check their facts.
