Jack Schlossberg has another trolltastic message for JD Vance

The greatest political mind of our time has spoken yet again, and not a moment too soon. After word dropped last week that JD Vance single-handedly took down Pope Francis, we all realized we’d underestimated the man. He’s not only weirder and grosser than we could have ever imagined, he’s also capable of ending the lives of religious officials with a mere handshake!

But none of this is stopping Jack Schlossberg from doing an expert job of trolling the VP as per usual.

Since Vance and that other guy took office, Schlossberg has been creating heartfelt TikToks dedicated to trolling the VP for everything he’s worth (not much) and we’ve been delighted. A few days ago, Schlossberg showed up outside a pumping station asking Vance to meet him there, because Vance is “so full of sh*t” he needs to be pumped out. A statement I think we can all get behind.

People in the comments were quick to point out that every time they hear Schlossberg’s familiar “hey JD” salvo on the FYP they prepare themselves for a masterpiece. And they’re not wrong! This is performance art at the highest level.

“TikTok asked me if this video was appropriate,” one commenter said, “and I said it was “educational” 👍” Absolutely true. Schlossberg stays educating us on important topics in Vanceology, a budding sub-discipline in End of the World studies.

“Hey jd is what I say whenever I run into someone I don’t like,” someone else wrote. “They don’t know what I’m talking about and they have no idea it’s an insult.”

Exactly. We might not be able to oust these idiots from office quite yet, but we can bully them until they cry!
