JD Vance has used the inaugural meeting of President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” initiative to deliver an absolute masterclass in how not to deliver a punchline. “I knew exactly what I wanted to say, but then after the president said I was so smart, and that I didn’t want to repeat our congresswoman who froze for 20 seconds over in Munich,” the vice president told the attendees in D.C. on Thursday. “Now I’m tempted, sir, just to freeze, for 20 seconds, and just stare at the cameras,” he went on. “Maybe they’ll say nice things about me, like they do about Congresswoman Cortez.”
