Vance and Usha Muddle Up Royal Guests in Humiliating Gaffe

[Jilly_in_VA]

JD Vance and his wife, Usha, were faced with the stunning realization on Friday that they had mixed up the identities of the royal couple they entertained at their Naval Observatory home.

Vance, 41, and Usha, 39, may well have wondered at the youthful looks of Jordan’s King Abdullah II, 63, and Queen Rania, 55, as they savored their milk and cookies before turning in on Thursday night.

The Jordanian couple clearly made such an impression that the vice president put out a press release through his office saying the two couples met for dinner. Always good to show prospective presidential voters he was actually doing stuff.

The only problem was that the Vances didn’t dine with Jordan’s king and queen. They had spent the evening chatting with the couple’s son, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, and his wife, Princess Rajwa Al Hussein, both aged 31.

5. I am sure the US State Dept gave Vance a fact sheet on the royal couple.

Vance and his wife were too lazy to read it.

9. Well all things considered, anyone sending the fact sheet could've been just as lazy

Remember this admin isn't the brightest government we've ever had.

Fuck up.

7. Yes, yes so far the evidence points to Vance being as dumb as that.

8. He ain't just stupid.

He's big time evil.

10. Do they have patent on incompetence?

11. Ignorance is bliss

Basic protocol is dead

12. Queen Rania does look younger than her years, but has very different features from daughter-in-law Rajwa.
