That is a major milestone,&#8221; Vance said.  Trump also said Marco Rubio is doing a &#8220;fantastic job&#8221; behind the scenes. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s maybe going to go down as the best ever,&#8221; the president said about the Secretary of State.   &#8220;And I thought JD Vance this morning was fantastic. I watched his news conference from Switzerland. He&#8217;s a very smart guy,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;You know, when I look at the Democrats&#8211; I call them the Dumocrats (because they&#8217;re dumb).

You know about that, right?&#8221;  &#8220;And this is one of their potential leaders,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Ilhan Omar, who married her brother to get into the country, by the way, illegally.&#8221;  &#8220;And then I watched somebody like JD or Marco. I said, what a difference,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;What a difference a brain makes.&#8221;  Trump answered more questions about the Iran negotiations and the algae in the National Mall Reflecting Pool during an executive iorder signing on Monday afternoon:   <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HNipoXNANAs?si=ndXH2JA1wfCZu_2z\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2026\/06\/23\/trump_vance_meetings_with_iran_went_fantastic_--_what_a_difference_a_brain_makes.html\">RealClearPolitics Videos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump praised Vice President Vance&#8217;s performance at a press conference yesterday explaining how he thinks negotiations with Iran in Switzerland this weekend went.
