JD Vance blasted for children's behavior at Trump's military parade: 'They're out of control'
Vice President J.D. Vance faced criticism for having his children with him during a military parade in Washington, D.C. The event showed off U.S. Army equipment and celebrated both the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
Vance arrived with his wife, Usha, and their three children—Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Maribel, 2. Some viewers called the children 'uncontrollable' during the event.
The Vance family stood with Donald and Melania Trump along the National Mall, where over 7,000 soldiers, tanks, military vehicles, bands, and fireworks were part of the celebration.
Helicopters and World War II-era planes flew overhead, and Army parachutists landed near the White House's ellipse, where the Vance family watched the parade.
While the parade was meant to honor the US military, many people online focused on the behavior of Vance's kids.
Social media erupted with criticism. One viewer wrote, 'Oh good, J.D. Vance brought his uncontrollable kids.' 'His kids are bad,' another simply said, as per Irish Star report.
A third comment read, 'Troops in the parade looking slovenly, completely out of step. But the most embarrassing lack of discipline is on the stage.'
'JD Vance's kids can't sit still for 5 minutes! They're out of control, Generals are stepping in trying to distract them,' they finished.
While other people had very different reactions, where one of the netizen chimed, 'I see that JD Vance brought along his Vanceling offspring. He thought they would really enjoy a military parade! But I never saw Trump's kids and grandkids. I really wanted to see Eric and Junior standing and taking the salute from their military compatriots.'

Vance and his wife have mostly kept their children out of the public eye. This changed during Trump's recent presidential campaign. The couple married in 2014.

'Theratrumpy' started trending on X as Americans came to the streets to protest President Donald Trump, calling him a dictator-in-waiting, and to stand up for democracy and the rights of immigrants. Meanwhile, a large military parade was held in Washington to commemorate Trump's 79th birthday. Critics denounced the event as an unwarranted demonstration of power, but tanks did roll down Constitution Avenue in observance of the Army's 250th anniversary. Millions of people marched in hundreds of rallies across the country, according to the organizers of the "No Kings" protests. 'Where's the due process?' and 'No to Trump's fascist military parade' were among the slogans shouted by hundreds of Trump protesters in Washington as they approached the White House.

Trump mocked over ‘tiny' crowd at his military parade as video goes viral; Here's how many people attended the event
President Donald Trump faced criticism online Saturday after his military-themed birthday parade drew a smaller-than-expected crowd near the Washington Monument. The event, held to mark Trump's birthday and the 250th anniversary of the US military, was also met with heavy protests and bad weather. The crowd appeared thin on the National Mall, with steady rain dampening the turnout. The parade, which reportedly cost an estimated $45 million, featured dozens of troops, tanks, and historical reenactors. However, several planned flyovers were canceled due to worsening weather conditions, while others were barely visible through thick cloud cover. The event also began 30 minutes early due to the forecast. One of the Twitter user wrote, 'That's not far from a busy weekend afternoon on the Mall size crowd. If you're able to throw around a football without annoying people, it's not a big crowd.' Also Read: JD Vance blasted for children's behavior at Trump's military parade: 'They're out of control' A different user wrote, 'HAHAHA! The crowd for Trump's birthday parade is TINY! They claimed 200,000 people would show up and it doesn't even look like 1,000 showed up. How embarrassing for MAGA! No Kings blew this out of the water!!!' Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, also weighed in. 'Having been to several large events on the Mall in my years living in DC... that is not a big crowd. Oof,' he posted on X. Despite the weather and criticism, Trump smiled and waved from his seat as troops marched down Constitution Avenue. The event included US soldiers dressed in uniforms from the Revolutionary War, World War II, and other conflicts. The estimated $45 million budget does not include the cost of potential damage to roads caused by the tanks. Army officials say they are prepared to cover those expenses, which could total between $3 million and $16 million.
