People lose it at footage
Vice President JD Vance made headlines after accidentally splitting the National Championship Football trophy during a White House event with Ohio State University on March 14. A video of the incident shows Vance lifting the trophy, which then separates into two parts—its base falling to the ground while the top is caught by someone nearby. Onlookers reacted with surprise and laughter, while Donald Trump remained unaware, continuing to pose for photos. Social media users chimed in, mocking the mishap and drawing political metaphors. Some clarified the trophy’s design, noting it’s meant to be held by the top part only.
Vance later addressed the incident on Twitter with humor, joking, “I didn’t want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it.” His response was met with more mockery, with users calling for him to simply admit the fumble. Meanwhile, the situation added to the growing list of controversial and comedic moments during Vance’s time as Vice President, drawing further attention to the Trump administration’s public appearances.
