JD Vance mocked as he fumbles giant championship trophy at White House celebration
JD Vance once again became the subject of online mockery after dropping an enormous college football trophy at a White House presentation.
As Donald Trump and the entire Ohio State team looked on, the vice president attempted to lift the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy, which promptly broke in two.
Onlookers gasped loudly as Vance scrambled to retrieve the base of the 35-pound trophy from the floor and put it back together. Several of the players could be seen smirking in the background.
With help from star Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson, Vance held the trophy aloft again, this time carefully holding it from the base.
Social media users were quick to react to the VP's latest gaff, with one many remarking that the incident was 'a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration.'
'Sometimes the metaphor is a bit too on-the-nose,' added another.
Another user joked: 'Ohio State's College Football National Trophy knows that JD Vance's soul isn't worthy, and thus, he's unable to lift the trophy without breaking it.'
'Can JD Vance be a bigger loser?,' added another.
Others noted the cartoonish nature of the latest gaffe, with a user commenting: 'Guy's begging for a piano to be shoddily hoisted into the air above him on the flimsiest rope you've ever seen.'
Vance himself tried to jump on the teasing bandwagon, later posting from his official VPOTUS account: 'I didn't want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it.'
Other users circled back to other memes of the vice president that started to be spread following the Oval Office blow-up between Vance, President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The conversation in front of the White House press corps turned into a shouting match as Vance asked Zelensky, 'Have you said thank you once?' Afterwards, users depicted Vance, among other things, as a round-faced baby.
'Has JD Vance thanked the trophy once?' wrote one user, following Monday's gaffe.
With an accompanying image of a baby-faced Vance in the Oval Office, another added: 'You should thank me for putting the trophy back together!'

Trump speech at Fort Bragg prompts new questions, concerns about politicization of military
WASHINGTON — Defense Department officials say troops who cheered and jeered Tuesday at President Donald Trump's political statements at a rally at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, did not violate military regulations, but a former military legal officer said they did just that. During the speech, uniformed soldiers yelled in support of Trump's political statements and booed former President Joe Biden and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. 'Do you think this crowd would have showed up for Biden? I don't think so,' Trump said to boos about Biden. Trump made other comments about Newsom and about Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, where protests against the administration's crackdown on immigrants have been taking place and where Trump has ordered thousands of National Guard members and active-duty Marines deployed in response. Other Trump comments about the 'fake news media,' transgender people, protesters in California and flag-burning also drew boos from the uniformed military members in attendance. Trump is known for his rallies at which he goes after and pokes fun at political enemies and other issues, but typically he makes those remarks at political events, not on U.S. military bases. Such overt political activity on a base is the prerogative of the commander in chief. But military leaders would typically frown upon troops' reacting the way they did as inconsistent with military good order and discipline, and, according to one expert, it is a violation of military regulations found in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or UCMJ. Presidents of both parties often use troops as political props and put them and their commanders in difficult positions by doing so, but Trump's speech took that to a new level, said Geoffrey DeWeese, a retired judge advocate general who is now an attorney with Mark S. Zaid PC. (Zaid has represented whistleblowers on both sides of the aisle, including one who filed a complaint about Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2019 that led to Trump's impeachment, and he was one of the people whose security clearances Trump revoked this year.) 'It's a sad tradition to use the military as a backdrop for political purposes,' DeWeese said. 'To actively attack another president or a sitting governor and incite the crowd to boo, that's a step in a dangerous direction, that really says we want to politicize the military, that sends a bad message.' DeWeese said there were likely to have been violations of the UCMJ. 'I would be cringing if I was a senior officer and it happened under my watch,' he said. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said repeatedly that he wants to take politics out of the military by removing diversity, equity and inclusion programs and banning service by transgender service members. Kori Schake, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who worked at the State Department and the National Security Council under former President George W. Bush and at the Pentagon under former President George H.W. Bush, said in an email that commanders at Fort Bragg should have done a better job preparing troops there. 'It's terrible,' she wrote. 'It's predictably bad behavior by the President to try and score political points in a military setting, and it's a command failure by leaders at Ft Bragg not to prepare soldiers for that bad behavior and counsel them not to participate.' The Pentagon said in a statement that there had been no violation of the UCMJ and suggested the media was against policies that Trump has championed. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell also alleged in a statement that the media 'cheered on the Biden administration' and its policies regarding the Defense Department 'when they forced drag queen performances on military bases, promoted service members on the basis of race and sex in violation of federal law, and fired troops who refused an experimental vaccine.' 'Believe me, no one needs to be encouraged to boo the media,' Parnell said. 'Look no further than this query, which is nothing more than a disgraceful attempt to ruin the lives of young soldiers.' On Wednesday, Army officials at Fort Bragg addressed the sale of some MAGA merchandise at the event, which was planned in cooperation with a nonpartisan organization, American 250. 'The Army remains committed to its core values and apolitical service to the nation,' Col. Mary Ricks, a spokeswoman for the Army's 18th Airborne Corps at Bragg, said in a statement. 'The Army does not endorse political merchandise or the views it represents. The vendor's presence is under review to determine how it was permitted and to prevent similar circumstances in the future.' The Army's own new field manual, published recently, says the apolitical nature of being a U.S. soldier is what contributes to the public trust. The Army 'as an institution must be nonpartisan and appear so, too,' says the new field manual, 'The Army: A Primer to Our Profession of Arms.' 'Being nonpartisan means not favoring any specific political party or group. Nonpartisanship assures the public that our Army will always serve the Constitution and our people loyally and responsively.' U.S. troops can participate in political functions, just not while on duty or in uniform, the book says. 'As a private citizen you are encouraged to participate in our democratic process, but as a soldier you must be mindful of how your actions may affect the reputation and perceived trustworthiness of our Army as an institution,' it says.

Trump's brutal message to actors who boycotted his Kennedy Center appearance as president and Melania attend Les Miserables
President Donald Trump entered the Kennedy Center Wednesday night with first lady Melania Trump at his side and struck a defiant tone when asked about cast members from Les Miserables boycotting his appearance. 'I couldn't care less. Honestly, I couldn't,' said Trump. 'All I do is run the country well.' There were reports ahead of Wednesday night's opener that the Trumps, along with Vice President J.D. Vance and wife Usha, would see the storied musical performed by some understudies. Additionally, there were threats that drag queens could interrupt and heckle the president during the performance. Several drag queens were gathered a block away from the Kennedy Center as the presidential motorcade drove by. When the Trumps did enter the theater, there were cheers and applause and a USA chant - and also some boos. The president took over the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in February in an unprecedented way. Just 19 days into his second term, Trump announced that he would be firing the board of the Kennedy Center - named for the late Democratic president - and naming himself chairman. President Donald Trump (left) answers questions alongside his wife first lady Melania Trump (right) as he appears at the Kennedy Center for the first time since his unprecedented takeover of the performing arts facility in February Since then, he's made Richard Grenell, who served as the acting Director of National Intelligence during Trump's first term, interim Kennedy Center executive director. Grenell also serves as a special envoy for special missions. He applauded Grenell's tenure thus far - with programming heavily featuring Broadway, as a number of artists associated with the Kennedy Center cut ties. 'The new era here is going to be something,' Trump said on the red carpet, as Grenell stood at the top. 'The bones of this facility are really incredible, we're going to make it really great.' During a dinner last month with the new Kennedy Center board members, Trump went off about the look of the Kennedy Center's modern addition. While walking on the red carpet, Trump - a native New Yorker - was asked what play he first saw in a theater. 'Well a long time ago, I would say maybe it was Cats,' the president answered. Melania Trump answered that her first show was, 'Phantom of the Opera.' Mrs. Trump told the Daily Mail she was a Les Mis fan. First lady Melania Trump wore a pair of shoes featuring mixed metallics along with a black gown to the opening night of Les Miserables at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. 'I am, thank you.' The president also said he's seen the French Revolution-era musical on multiple occasions. 'I've seen it, we've seen it, a number of times, it's fantastic. It was just about our first choice. That's what we got and we've got other ones coming, other great ones coming,' Trump said. But when a reporter asked the president whether he felt more in line with Inspector Javert or the former convict Jean Valjean, he seemed miffed. 'Oh that's a tough one, the last part of that question, that's tough I think,' Trump said laughing. 'You better answer that one honey, I don't know.'

Vance made a brief trip to Montana to speak to Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, AP sources say
Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday made a brief trip to Montana, where he spoke to media mogul Rupert Murdoch; his son Lachlan Murdoch, the head of Fox News and News Corp.; and a group of other Fox News executives, according to two people familiar with the trip. Vance met with the group at the Murdoch family ranch in southwest Montana near Dillon, according to the people. They confirmed the visit to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about it. It's not clear why the vice president addressed the group or what they spoke about. A spokesperson for Fox News Channel did not respond to a message seeking comment. The vice president's office does not release a schedule for Vance and did not offer advance notice of the trip, so the surprise arrival of Air Force Two in Butte, Montana, set off local speculation as his motorcade was seen driving away. The Murdoch ranch near Dillon is roughly 70 miles (110 kilometers) south of Butte. The ranch, which Murdoch purchased in 2021, is spread across two valleys and a mountain range and has some 12,000 cattle. It sits near Yellowstone National Park along the Montana-Idaho border. According to flight restrictions issued by the Federal Aviation Administration, the vice presidential aircraft was only on the ground for a matter of hours. Vance was scheduled to have lunch with President Donald Trump on Wednesday, according to the president's publicly released schedule, meaning the vice president presumably returned to Washington shortly after meeting the Murdochs 2,200 miles (3,500 kilometers) away on Tuesday night. Rupert Murdoch and his media organization have long been friendly with Republicans and have, for the most part, had a friendly relationship with Trump. He appeared at Trump's inauguration and was spotted earlier this year in the Oval Office. Rupert Murdoch, 94, stepped down as the head of Fox News and News Corp. in 2023 and handed control over to son Lachlan. Montana state Auditor James Brown told the Montana Talks radio show that he helped Vance's staff arrange the trip. Brown, who did not respond to a message Wednesday from the AP, said he met the vice president when Vance landed at the airport and then helped escort Vance's entourage on an hourlong drive by driving second lady Usha Vance's staff. ___ Associated Press writers Zeke Miller in Washington and Matthew Brown in Billings, Montana, contributed to this report.
