Trump Has the Entire Room Laughing as He Pokes Fun at JD Vance [WATCH]

President Donald Trump shared a humorous moment with Vice President J.D. Vance during a breakfast meeting with Republican senators at the White House on Wednesday, offering levity after a week of heavy news events.

During his remarks, President Trump recounted his recent meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, describing Xi as “a tough man” and recalling how disciplined his delegation appeared during their discussions.

“So he’s here and he’s got about six people on each side, and every one of those people were standing like this,” the president said, standing straight and puffing out his chest.

“They weren’t going to touch. And I made a comment to one of them and it got no response. I said, ‘Are you gonna answer me?’ I got no response. And President Xi didn’t let him have any, so…”

The president joked about the posture of Xi’s team, telling the senators he wanted his own cabinet to follow suit. “I said, ‘I want my Cabinet to behave like that.’ I want them sitting up like that, Tim, just nice and straight. I never saw a posture like that. I’ve never seen men so scared in their lives,” Trump said, drawing laughter from the room.

He then mentioned China’s vice president, whom he described as equally stoic. “He doesn’t move and wouldn’t talk to me,” Trump said.

“I asked Xi, ‘What’s wrong with this guy?’ and Xi responded, ‘I will answer all questions.’”

The president then turned to Vice President Vance, quipping, “Why don’t you act like that? JD doesn’t behave like that. JD butts into conversations. I wanna have that for at least a couple of days. Okay, JD? We’ll keep you long term, but a couple of days of that would be very, very nice.”

The exchange came amid a week marked by significant global events, including a deadly plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky, that killed seven people, a fatal attack on a Mexican political leader, and a terror incident in France that left several injured.

Despite the week’s serious headlines, President Trump’s unscripted humor at the breakfast provided a brief moment of levity for attendees, highlighting his rapport with congressional Republicans and his ongoing discussions with world leaders such as Xi Jinping.
