Trump lashed out at Vance telling him, 'Everyone just needs to copy what I say' on Iran, book reveals [View all]

President Donald Trump reportedly raged against Vice President JD Vance last year for not using the boss's chosen line that American planes had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

"Trump vented to others that Vance hadn't repeated his own new phrase that Iran's nuclear program had been 'totally obliterated,'" according to an excerpt obtained by Politico of the forthcoming Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, from New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

After the June attack on Iran, Vance had mildly undercut Trump in an interview with ABC News.

"Well, Jon, severely damaged versus obliterated, I'm not exactly sure what the difference is," Vance said. "What we know is we set their nuclear program back substantially."
