Look, you gotta wonder if JD Vance is injecting Barron Trump’s new energy drink straight into his veins, because this man is out here doing the absolute most. He’s got three young kids at home, his wife is pregnant with a new baby due soon, and he’s supposed to be running the country as Vice President. But instead of focusing on his day job, Vance is out here on a whole book tour for his new spiritual memoir, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith. You gotta respect the hustle, but regular folks are looking at this like, "Bruh, don't you have a country to run?"

The internet is already hating on the book, though. If you go on Amazon, they had to lock down the reviews to verified buyers because of some "unusual review activity"—which is just corporate speak for people flooding the page with one-star reviews to trash his book. Over on Goodreads, they shut down reviews completely. But Vance’s wife, Usha, is still out here showing love. She updated her Goodreads to show she just finished Communion right after reading Willa Cather’s Death Comes for the Archbishop.

Vance took his book tour to The View, and the hosts immediately started pressing him on the real-world issues. But Vance wasn't trying to hear none of that. He straight-up begged them, "Let’s talk about the book – I’m here to sell books." Whoopi Goldberg wasn't having it, keeping it real with him and saying, "Eventually we will, but this is a good opportunity for us to get some clarity on stuff."

Later on, Vance joked to reporters that being on The View gave him "great experience in very hostile negotiations." But honestly, this isn't a game to the streets. While he’s out here making jokes for the press, the US is trying to handle some real serious issues with Iran, and even Donald Trump said the world is on the edge of an "economic catastrophe" because of a potential war. People in the community are trying to figure out how they're going to pay for gas and groceries if things pop off, while the VP is joking about talk shows.

Then Vance went on Fox News and kept it too real—maybe a little too real for someone second-in-line to the presidency. He basically admitted he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to international relations, saying: "I’ve gotta be honest with you – I don’t really understand these things. [But] I’m trying to be respectful. Given my position in the last year-and-a-half, I have to care about diplomatic protocols all of a sudden."
