U.S. Vice President JD Vance went through an awkward moment after being questioned by reporters about a comment made by Donald Trump during an event at the White House.
The comment came after Trump recalled the assassination attempt that occurred during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner last month. While describing the emergency evacuation, the president joked that Secret Service agents lifted Vance “like he was a little boy.”
The American president’s remark caught the attention of internet users and eventually led to questions directed at the vice president during a recent press conference. On that occasion, a reporter directly asked Vance whether he felt like “Trump’s little boy,” creating a moment of silence and laughter among those present.
Vance responded in a humorous tone and tried to downplay the situation, comparing his experience at the White House to the movie Home Alone, saying he feels like Kevin McCallister when Trump is traveling and away from Washington.
“I walk into the White House, and it’s very quiet, and no one’s there, and it takes me a second to realize exactly what’s going on!” he joked to reporters. Trump is currently in China for a diplomatic meeting with President Xi Jinping.
Vance compares himself to a child without his parent around:
