JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive.
It happened during an announcement that former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, would be leading a task force for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.
Rather than stoke excitement for a global event that could be a tourism cash cow for North America, Vance decided to take a different approach — and joked about deporting the potential thousands of tourists visiting the U.S. for the occasion.
And steal their bike
Because what we really want from our government officials is more laughing at the pain and suffering of others.
that, and to chill anyone that MIGHT come to America for the American games out of coming to America for the American games and ensure America doesnt get any of that sweet tourism money.
5 bucks says Mexico and Canada’s stadiums are full, while Americas stadiums are maybe…lets be generous and say 1/3rd full, and I’d wager most of that would be from super low cost tickets in desperation to get people in the seats so it doesnt look completely empty during broadcast.
Lol the US games will be full…lots of fans here in the states
yes, hence the 1/3rd total capacity.
Cause Trump has fucked our economy, and its gonna get even more fucked by the time that World Cup happens…Which means very few people will be able to afford to travel across country and pay for event price-hiked accomodations and food to attend the games.

Could have phrased it a bit better. “…but instead of charming, was just offensive”, maybe?
Nah, I prefer the implication of accidentally succeeding in achieving a negative result.
Fits the entire political career of the couch fucker like an inside out latex glove.
Real shame nobody smothered him to death in his bassinet
Anyone who is mad enough to visit the US for attending a sports game in this day and age almost deserves that treatment. Like, are you ok?
With games taking place in both Mexico and Canada, does that make the entire US into flyover state?

🌎🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
Except it’s not safe to fly over thanks to DOGE cuts.
When you find “funny” how mean you can be to someone, you’re just making sure everyone knows you’re a fucking loser
Who the fuck thought it’d be a good idea to hold the world cup in the US, a country that doesn’t even give a fuck about football?
The same people who thought Qatar was a good host
Ohh, I certainly wouldn’t put anything past them.
What a swell idea, Vance! I’ve been trying to figure out how to persuade my compatriots why visiting the US aren’t worth the risks, and it really helps when the Vice President makes my case for me. Cheers, buddy!
Ha ha, yes, such a joker that JD. Totally not a cowardly sleazebeg acting as a “good person” and testing the waters on controversial stuff like a certain orange president likes to do… He’s learning well.
I really hope this is the World Cup with the least international attendance in recent memory (should really be 0, but that’s sadly too unrealistic) . Don’t spend your money in the US, if FIFA wants your fan money they should relocate the world cup to somewhere without threats.
Reminder that every time they say something that causes offense they say it was just a joke.
Narrator: it was not a joke
Treating all foreigners as criminals is something he’s so excited about, he just can’t keep quiet about it. There probably are some people dumb enough to go to that country just to watch some sports, but they aren’t going to have a good time.
I wonder if the IOC will be using the World Cup as a test bed. This certainly will not go well - there will be horrific stories coming from the few athletes and tourists that DO come for some reason, and attendance will be otherwise annihilated. What are the chances that the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA get moved? They’ll have 2 full years to ramp up in another city elsewhere in the world, probably one that has had the Olympics in the recent past and has the infrastructure built out already.
It won’t be moved, like the Olympics wasn’t moved from Berlin in 1936.
That’s an interesting point. However, my understanding is that the world did not understand the full extent of atrocities being committed in 1930s Germany until after the war was over. I think in the age of the internet and social media, this certainly could be the first.
The world knows what’s going on in Palestine. Some people protest but the atrocities continue.
There’s no reason to think the US would be any different.
Doesn’t really feel like an apples to apples comparison because nobody is going there for vacation excited to see a major sports event. And certainly nobody would want to go there knowing full well that they’d be at risk of death (or in the case of the USA, permanent imprisonment) for daring to enter the country.
My point was that the world potentially wasn’t fully aware of the environment they were entering personally to attend the Olympic Games in Nazi Germany, but everything happening in the US today is broadcast digitally and the world is very well aware of the environment in the United States today.
I’m surprised Trump’s even fine with hosting the world cup in the first place seeing as every professional footballer is a migrant by definition.
it is a money maker considering they don’t need to build new stadium or infrastructure. However these things doesn’t mean much, I think what he cares about how the final draw up to 1.5 billion viewer… so if he get to be there handing gold medals or something he will be happy.
TBF the American women’s team is good.
That’s completely irrelevant, a migrant is someone who relocates for work-related purposes, 99.9% of football players are doing so, that’s the whole backbone of football, not including Sunday league players.
No one in their right mind would compete here you do that.
What, you gonna deport someone because they beat us in gold JD? Fuck.
Been to Canada and Mexico.
Flew over that shithole but that’s as close I want to come to that awful country, no matter who’s in charge.
I’ve heard plenty horrible stories from people I know who got treated badly by their gestapo cops and border goons.
