On Saturday evening, as Vice President JD Vance took a podium in Pakistan and said no deal had been reached to end the war in Iran, President Trump was in Miami watching a mixed martial arts fight.
Mr. Trump spent several hours orbited by Secretary of State Marco Rubio; a few of his children; some Ultimate Fighting Championship officials; Sergio Gor, the U.S. ambassador to India; the recording artist Vanilla Ice; Dan Bongino, the former deputy director of the F.B.I.; and the manosphere shepherd Joe Rogan.
He was surrounded by people, but Mr. Trump was somehow an isolated figure. People mostly circulated around him, checking in with updates and then leaving again. For the most part, Mr. Trump sat and impassively watched blood and saliva sprayed out from the fighters beating each other silly in front of him.
Every prez deserves some down time but, c'mon man, we are at war. OTOH, distracting Don isn't the worst idea. Cuz when he isn't distracted he does stuff like this.
Trump Says U.S. Will ‘Blockade’ Strait of Hormuz After Peace Talks Fail
If I was stationed in the ME as part of the US military force there I don't think I'd appreciate knowing my prez wasn't focusing all his energy on finding a way to end the war. The one he started.
