It was a solemn ceremony in the Garden of the White House for the football team of Ohio State University, and it ended with a mistake by Vice President JD Vance. When, after a speech by President Donald Trump, when he wanted to triumphant the trophy for the victory of the national college football championship in 2024 together with Running Back Treveyon Henderson, she broke in two. The base fell out of Vance to the ground, Henderson just caught the actual trophy.
After some confusion, Vance then kept the trophy shortened around the base to the sounds of the Queens classic “We are the champions”. “I didn’t want anyone to get the trophy after Ohio State, so I decided to break her,” Vance later wrote on X.
