As Donald Trump continues to take late night television comedians off the air, his team is trying out some comedy material of its own. The results have been mixed, at best.
Here’s JD Vance trying out some new jokes about… the U.S. government potentially murdering innocent civilians from another country?

Yeah, not great. This administration might want to stick to the unintentional comedy it provides each time it tries to implement meaningful policy. Way funnier.
Vance somehow draws a through line from bombing alleged drug boats in international waters to better jobs and wages back in America. He draws laughs for his jokes and applause for his incoherent promises. As the kids say, “We are so cooked.” Here’s what Twitter had to add.

Joking about killing random innocents for no reason is the sort of thing you’d expect not from a vice president but a slop podcaster who specializes in uninspired ragebaiting, oh wait https://t.co/ivbWw9XH9g

Implicitly acknowledging the administration has no idea who or what they’re blowing up!

The Vice President of the United States doesn’t even know if they are killing drug dealers or fishermen.
