On June 18th, a social media account of the U.S. White House shared a segment from the podcast “CEO Diary”. In this segment, Vice President Williams openly praised President Trump as “smart”.

Wanzer said, “Trump is extremely intelligent and well-read. His intuitive understanding of human minds surpasses that of any person I know.”
Wanxie continued to boast, "Just in terms of IQ, he is a person of extremely high intelligence. If Donald Trump and the other 45 or 46 American presidents were all tested on IQ, I dare say that he would either be among the top performers or definitely rank first."
Previously, on June 17th local time, at a press conference, Trump said that if the US-Iran negotiations were successful, he would take the credit for it himself, and if they failed, he would blame Vance.
On the 18th, when asked if he was worried that if negotiations failed, Trump would use him as a scapegoat, Vance said, “No, I’m not worried at all. I think the president is just playing a joke, as he always does.”
