Vance Backs Trump’s Controversial Move

In a strong show of unity, Vice President JD Vance is standing firmly behind President Donald J. Trump’s decision to nominate National Security Adviser Mike Waltz as the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

Speaking Thursday during an exclusive appearance on Fox News’s Special Report, Vance praised the move as “smart, strategic, and pro-American.”

“Mike has the full trust of President Trump and myself,” Vance said. “With the major reforms to the National Security Council now complete, it’s time for someone with Waltz’s experience to represent the United States on the world stage.”

Waltz’s nomination follows a media-fueled controversy involving a private Signal group chat used by national security officials. Mainstream outlets focused on the accidental inclusion of liberal journalist Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, but no classified material was leaked. Despite the left’s attempt to stir panic, the Trump administration remains laser-focused on results.

Strong Leadership, Not a Demotion

Critics and liberal pundits have attempted to spin the shift as a firing. But Vice President Vance pushed back hard.

“Let’s be clear: President Trump doesn’t fire someone and then nominate them for a Senate-confirmed post,” Vance stated. “This is a strategic reassignment. Waltz will serve America more effectively at the U.N.—and the president knows that.”

Waltz will replace Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who was previously considered for the U.N. position. His Senate confirmation hearings are expected to draw attention, not for his record, but because of partisan opposition.

Democrats Complain, but America Moves Forward

Predictably, Democrats in Congress are sounding alarms. Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) questioned whether Secretary of State Marco Rubio can handle the added responsibilities of interim National Security Adviser. But these concerns fall flat with conservative voters who value competence over media soundbites.

“The job of National Security Adviser is more than a full-time job,” Schneider said, criticizing the administration’s decision.

The left now accuses President Trump of “blatant disregard” for global crises. But many Americans see something different: a president who acts decisively and surrounds himself with proven patriots.

America First, Always

President Trump’s reshuffling of key national security personnel is not about politics—it’s about protecting the homeland and advancing the America First agenda. Mike Waltz, a decorated veteran and seasoned strategist, embodies that mission.

With growing global tensions, Trump’s leadership is once again putting America back where it belongs: in command, respected, and unafraid to lead.
