JD Vance 'sitting at the kids table' as Trump-Zelensky talked draws raves: 'See how much smoother things go'
U.S. vice president J.D. Vance was notably quiet during a summit with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday — and social media users across the political spectrum are very happy about it.
Numerous posts on X (formerly Twitter) and its more liberal rival Bluesky expressed relief or gratitude that Donald Trump's second in command had, in the words of one user, "kept his dumb mouth shut".
It was a marked contrast to what happened when Zelensky last visited the White House in March, in which Vance berated the Ukrainian president for not saying “thank you” more.
"Things go a little better when J.V. [sic] keeps his trap shut and doesn’t try to act tough," wrote one anti-Trump U.S. conservative on X.
