JD Vance joked that Donald Trump has left him ‘home alone’ at the White House as the President jetted off for a high-stakes summit in China.
Speaking at a Wednesday press conference, Vance likened himself to Macaulay Culkin in the beloved 90s Christmas film Home Alone.
The Vice President made the admission about wandering the empty corridors of the West Wing just as the President touched down in Beijing.
‘So as you know, Trump just landed in China,’ Vance said. ‘I sometimes feel like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone.’
‘I walk into the White House, it’s very quiet, and no one’s there, and it takes me a second to realize exactly what’s going on.’
Vance was conspicuously left off the guest list for the trip, with Trump instead traveling alongside top diplomatic advisers and a delegation of American tech billionaires.
The Vice President has said Secret Service protocols prevent him from traveling to high-risk countries at the same time as the President.
The joke comes amid recent revelations that Trump has left beyond-the-grave instructions for Vance should anything happen to him in office.
