JD Vance Humiliated After Breaking College Football Trophy During Ohio State’s White House Visit

By

In a moment that could only be described as a political blooper reel highlight, Vice President JD Vance managed to fumble Ohio State’s freshly minted College Football Playoff National Championship trophy during a celebratory event at the White House. As the Buckeyes basked in the glory of their 34–23 victory over Notre Dame, Vance, an Ohio State alumnus, took center stage—only to have the trophy’s base detach and crash to the floor.

The incident unfolded as Vance attempted to hoist the 50-pound, 26.5-inch-tall trophy, which, in a twist of irony, separated from its base and tumbled down. Players and staff scrambled to reassemble the prized possession, but the damage was done—both to the trophy and Vance’s dignity.

Never one to miss an opportunity for spin, Vance took to social media to quip, “I didn’t want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy, so I decided to break it.” While some appreciated the humor, others couldn’t help but draw parallels between the mishap and Vance’s political missteps.

President Trump, ever the showman, seized the moment to praise Vance’s academic achievements, highlighting his rapid graduation from Ohio State and subsequent Yale Law School attendance. Yet, the spotlight remained firmly on the fallen trophy—a symbol of triumph turned testament to human error.

As the Buckeyes’ championship celebration continued, the incident served as a reminder that even in moments of victory, a single misstep can steal the show. For Vance, the fumble may fade from memory, but for the internet, it’s a gif that keeps on giving.
