U.S. President Donald Trump reacted to the information that Vice President JD Vance was booed on the Winter Olympics in Milan with a head-scratching declare about his veep.
Video footage from Friday’s opening ceremony confirmed Vance and spouse Usha met with what one Australian broadcaster described as “a lot of boos” from the group.
Aboard Air Force One later that day, a reporter requested Trump if he had heard in regards to the booing, prompting a glance of shock from the president.
“No, I didn’t see that,” Trump replied in video from Forbes Breaking News. “Is that true, is that right? It’s surprising, ’cause people like him.”
That’s when Trump made his curious assertion.
“Well, I mean he is in a foreign country, in all fairness. But, uh, he doesn’t get booed in this country.”
