In a moment that’ll go down in the epic fail hall of fame, Vice President JD Vance just turned a White House championship celebration into a comedy routine that even Saturday Night Live couldn’t script better.

When Trophy Meets Gravity

Picture this: The Ohio State football team is basking in their glory at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and Vance - an OSU alum - decides to showcase his “handling” skills. Spoiler alert: he doesn’t pass the trophy test. The golden top of the championship trophy dramatically separated from its base, creating a painfully awkward moment where the trophy literally slipped through his fingers.

Secret Service, Meet Comedy Central

Before the trophy tumble, Vance couldn’t resist throwing some shade at Michigan, dramatically telling a Michigan-hat-wearing audience member that he’s a “dangerous weapon”. Classic Ohio-Michigan rivalry energy, right? Running back TreVeyon Henderson became the unexpected hero, swooping in to save the falling trophy pieces like a football fairy godmother.

The Damage Control

In true millennial damage control fashion, Vance took to social media with a self-deprecating joke: “I didn’t want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it”. Nice try, JD - we see that save attempt.

The whole scene unfolded with the U.S. Marine Corps Band playing “We Are the Champions” - talk about ironic background music. Players winced, gasps echoed, and somewhere, a meme was being born. Just another day in the wild world of political sports celebrations, folks.
