Vance's Donut Shop Moment Gives America Secondhand Embarrassment
Sen. JD Vance couldn't have handled this donut shop interaction worse than he did.
- 8 minutes
The zoo has come to town.
Thank you for letting us come in here.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, ma'am. I don't know why.
She doesn't want to be on film.
So just cut her out of anything.
Really that bad? I'm kidding.
[00:00:17]
Okay.
That was J.D. Vance.
Thinking he would have a Trump at chick
fil a moment when he visited a Georgia
donut shop yesterday, but it turned
out to be so incredibly awkward for Vance.
That was just the beginning.
Watch him really amp up his charm
and just win over these regular Americans
[00:00:36]
working at this donut shop.
I mean, here is the beginning of July.
Okay?
- Okay.
- How about you, sir?
Almost two years. Okay, good.
Yeah. A lot of glazed here.
[00:00:52]
Some sprinkle stuff,
some of these cinnamon rolls.
Whatever. Right.
Oh, it's been around for about four years.
About four years.
Okay. How long have you been here?
A little over six months. Okay, good.
How long have you been here? Two years.
Okay.
[00:01:07]
How long have you been here? Four years.
Okay, good.
You? Six months.
Okay, good.
What a beautiful way to really show,
you know, the common man
and have that common touch.
Never leave your fingertips.
Social media users were quick to react
to how obviously painful this moment was.
[00:01:24]
Crazy fan wrote.
Put the man in any real world situation
and he turns
into the most painfully weird dork.
Worse than even DeSantis acting like
Tomi posted, it's as if he's completely
incapable of having a normal connection
with another human being.
WTF is wrong with this dude? LOL.
[00:01:42]
Alex Jewell posting a lot of glazed here.
Some sprinkle stuff.
Do not act weird. Order normally.
What do people eat?
Just whatever makes sense.
This doesn't help JD Vance
in his attempt to be perceived
as more friendly and relatable.
He's proven in the past he can't
have a regular human interaction.
[00:02:01]
Take a look at this one.
What makes you smile?
What makes you happy?
Well, I smile at a lot of things,
including bogus questions
from the media, man.
I mean, look, I think if you watch,
if you watch a full speech that I give,
I actually I'm having a good time
out here and I'm enjoying this.
[00:02:19]
But look, sometimes you got
to take the good with the bad.
And right now I am angry about what Kamala
Harris has done to this country
and done to the American southern border.
And I think that most people
in our country, they can be happy go lucky
sometimes they can enjoy things sometimes,
and they can turn on the news
and recognize that what's going on
[00:02:36]
in this country is a disgrace.
The only thing that makes him smile
is his own cringey jokes.
He is asked, what makes you smile?
A chance from a reporter to humanize
Vance, and instead he goes,
bogus questions like you from the media.
[00:02:52]
Ha ha ha. I have good time up here.
But seriously, I'm angry about
Kamala Harris talking point.
That is what brings him joy in his life.
He could have talked about your outside
life, but no, no, he instead only exists
behind a podium
to slander and say super weird things like
[00:03:10]
remember his Diet Mountain Dew is racist.
Attempt at humor.
Here it is. If you forgot.
- It is the.
- Weirdest thing to me.
Democrats say
that it is racist to believe.
Well, they say it's racist to do anything.
I had a Diet Mountain Dew yesterday
and one today.
[00:03:27]
I'm sure they're going to call
that racist too, but it's good.
I love you guys. But.
[00:03:43]
One man clapping in crowd
after he laughs at his own
very unintelligible strange joke.
The most charming I've ever seen.
Him not helping
the weird allegations there at all, bro.
Mandy, I look like you're chomping
at the bit to respond,
so please, the floor is yours.
[00:04:01]
How in the hell did this guy make it
to the second round of The Apprentice?
I'm confused at how this is
their vice president pick.
Like there's no way
you thought this was a good pick.
Who vetted JD Vance? The couch guy.
Who vetted this guy?
[00:04:16]
This is. This is a horrible.
I don't think.
I'm not one of those people that believe
that people vote for vice presidents.
I think this guy is going to have
a negative impact on Trump ticket,
and that's hard to do.
I mean, Donald Trump has his following.
JD Vance brings nobody else into the fold.
This is disgusting.
[00:04:34]
His wife might skip the vote.
I cannot see her voting for him.
And it's this is cringey
that the sprinkle stuff.
This is the guy who went he went to
Philadelphia and asked for Swiss cheese.
He was mad. The cheesecake.
[00:04:51]
The cheesesteaks didn't have Swiss cheese.
He is done.
I'm super happy.
I'm not one that I know.
2016 happened and it might seem like I'm
joking, but I'm being serious.
This is a worst vice
president pick of anybody.
I know Vice president
has shot people in the face.
[00:05:07]
I still think they're better
than this guy.
I'm just saying.
Well, thank you for human comment.
I am human with opinion.
Jordan. You have opinion?
Yeah.
I mean, the Mountain Dew clip
is so painful and you get such intense
[00:05:24]
secondhand embarrassment
when there's a single person clapping
as he's saying, I love you guys.
He's trying to have some,
I don't know, interactions and back
and back and forth with the crowd,
and they're kind of like, what?
What just happened?
[00:05:39]
Like, they have no idea
what he is trying to lean into there.
And he then made other videos
and other posts about Diet Mountain Dew,
like the next 72 hours, to try
to lean into it and make it a thing.
This didn't land.
The guy is inauthentic.
He's stiff, he's awkward.
[00:05:55]
And you see it in this donut video.
How long are you here for?
How long have you been here for?
How long has this place been around?
You can't ask.
Like, what's your favorite thing about it?
What's your favorite flavor?
Like, I don't know, when I make small talk
with somebody at a restaurant or store,
ask them what's their favorite?
Let me just try that. Who cares?
[00:06:12]
Let's live a little.
Like, he goes in there
and he just doesn't know what to order.
He can't comprehend the process,
and I don't think it's much for him
as definitely with Trump.
It's just not something they're used to.
They especially with Trump,
They have people do all
[00:06:27]
that stuff for them, so they don't.
And that was a point that they hammered,
I think, effectively at the DNC
the past few nights.
Do you think Trump
has ever been grocery shopping?
And when he sends Jay. Yeah.
Right.
And when he sends JD Vance out
to do this stuff, it's clear.
[00:06:43]
Maybe he hasn't either.
Maybe it's been his wife
or somebody else or an assistant.
This is a pretty simple thing
you're ordering at a donut shop
or fast food restaurant.
Whatever.
Place your order like a normal person.
He's weird, he's strange,
he's stiff, and he's inauthentic.
[00:07:01]
Yeah, yeah. You know, he has.
- Oh, go ahead.
- Mondale as a marine.
Like I know these.
I know the J.D. Vance's of the world.
We had these group of guys. We used to.
We used to say these guys
were bullied in high school, and they
joined the Marine Corps to save face.
And JD Vance is one of those guys.
[00:07:17]
I think it's a tragedy that that uniform
was supposed to make him all American
or whatever he was in high school.
And as we see, it's not a fix
for the craziness or the weirdness
of someone who loved couch pillows.
It's just no fix for it.
Yeah, and I mean
super not relatable dudes.
[00:07:35]
Probably neither have gone grocery
shopping in recent years, but somehow they
still put the gross in grocery shopping.
- I don't know how.
- They do it.
They don't even know what donuts are.
I mean, he's like,
give me some of the wrinkled stuff.
- Whatever makes.
- Sense.
[00:07:51]
Lazy.
These are not the droids
you're looking for.
I mean, very confusing what they're
trying to do to our minds here.
Not effective, but apparently a huge part
of the populace sees that and thinks.
Yes, that's the way I order donut
by going into store
and asking for the sprinkle stuff.
[00:08:07]
