Vice President JD Vance fumbles Ohio State football team’s national championship trophy

Vice President JD Vance fumbled The Ohio State College soccer staff’s nationwide championship trophy throughout a celebration on the White Home on Monday.

President Donald Trump hosted the Buckeyes after they gained the School Soccer Playoff Nationwide Championship in opposition to the College of Notre Dame in January.

When Vance went to choose up the football-shaped trophy off a desk on the finish of the occasion, the pure gold, bronze and stainless-steel trophy almost toppled over behind him earlier than two gamers caught it. The bottom dropped to the bottom to gasps from the group.

Vance went on to carry the trophy separate from the bottom.

Although the Pentagram-designed piece appeared to interrupt, the trophy and base are two separate items in order that the 26.5 inch-tall, 35-pound trophy could be hoisted within the air. The 12-inch-tall base weighs about 30 kilos.

Vance, a graduate of Ohio State, joked about his fumble afterwards, saying on X, “I did not need anybody after Ohio State to get the trophy so I made a decision to interrupt it.”

Through the celebration, Vance moreover recounted his joke about asking Trump if he might skip the ultimate inaugural ball on Jan. 20 to attend the championship recreation in Atlanta.

“The president stated, ‘No, however we’ll have him on the White Home,'” Vance stated.

Trump recounted key moments from the staff’s season and shook fingers with the gamers.

Following remarks, the staff captains introduced Trump with a jersey with “TRUMP 47” written on the again as a band performed Queen’s “We Are the Champions.”
