In celebration of the Buckeyes defeating the Notre Dame Irish in the College Football Playoff in January, President
Donald Trump gave a speech before the team's coach,
Ryan Day, presented the Republican leader with a personalized jersey and a helmet.
Before the group stood together for a group photo, J.D. Vance walked over to the trophy, which is when chaos ensued.

When J.D. Vance went to pick up the gold statue, the top detached from its stand. Luckily, one team member caught the first half of the trophy. However, the lower part smashed to the ground.
"Didn't want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy, so I decided to break it," the
second-in-command jokingly penned on X hours after the public mishap.

Social media went wild poking fun at J.D. Vance. "Our precious trophy hereby disowns his clown a** on behalf of our beloved team and great state," one X user wrote below a clip of the moment.
"Moral of the
story is that everything these guys touch turns to s*** almost instantly," another person added.
"J.D. Vance is cursed for life," a third chimed in.

J.D. Vance has also been making headlines for another reason. He recently sat down for an interview with
UnHerd to address his infamous meeting with Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office.
"I think it's sort of absurd for Zelensky to tell the (American) government, which is currently keeping his entire government and war effort together, that we are somehow on the side of the Russians," the right-winger said while adding Zelensky's attitude toward the U.S. "is certainly not productive."
