Trump: JD, go to Hungaria. Now!
Vance: Sir, with all due respect, I believe it’s called Hungary. And I think I’d be more useful here, what with the war and all.
Trump: No! And shut up about the war that isn’t even a war.
Vance: Yes sir. What should I wear?
Trump: We’ve talked about this, DJ. The shoes. Wear the shoes. That’ll get those Hunger people voting for President Orbit for sure.
