'I thought it was a joke': Mockery as Iran talks collapse while Trump booed at UFC event

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-vance-iran-ufc/

Trump walked into the arena and was booed by the crowd while Kid Rock blared, just as Vance had publicly acknowledged the conversation between the Iranian and American diplomatic teams had not reached an agreement despite the 21 hours of marathon talking.

"I guess all the Iran experts had to be at the UFC?" Writer and essayist Hari Kunzru wrote on Bluesky.

"When I heard that Trump was at a UFC fight tonight while Vance was trying to hammer out the Iran deal at four in the morning, Iran time, I thought it was a joke," writer Mary Pezzulo wrote on Bluesky.

"How the f--- is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MF-- isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too," Ron Filipkowski, Editor in Chief of MeidasNews, wrote on Bluesky.

In the easiest election in American history. Sadly, America is filled with fucking idiots so the beatings will continue.

Vance was stating that he was in constant contact with trump. While Trump was walking in and shaking hands with Rogan at the fights. Oh yeah his new best bud rubio was with him.

They all lie all the time, every minute every day.

I have been in the deal business my whole life, and 21 hours is not a marathon session. It is not even a start to negotiations.

Trump and team are either ignorant or weren’t trying.

It's like that scene in Time Bandits where the "most fabulous object in the world", locked deep within the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness, at the end of a deadly labyrinth, turns out to be... well... yeah. Good movie, though.
