JD Vance's worst blunders since the Trump administration took office 100 days ago

has made a series of embarrassing blunders in his first 100 days as US vice president, from dropping an important trophy to breaking Vatican protocol. The Republican was quick to make his first mistake on the job, getting into the wrong side of a car in an awkward Inauguration Day moment alongside Kamala Harris.

Mr Vance was caught on camera leaving the , following her into a guarded vehicle only to be told that he'd gone in the wrong door and needed to enter from the other side. Less than two months into his tenure, the US VP faced heavy criticism from European nations after he mocked the plan to deploy troops in Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping mission. He suggested Britain was "some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 years", though denied it was a reference to the country once

Later in March, Mr Vance appeared as one of the names in a group chat discussing military operations against the Houthis in Yemen, seemingly not realising journalist Jeffrey Goldberg had been added by National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

He expressed reservations about the timing of the mission and appeared to question Donald Trump's judgment.

He wrote: "I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now. There's a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices.

"I am willing to support the consensus of the team and keep these concerns to myself. But there is a strong argument for , doing the messaging work on why this matters, seeing where the economy is, etc."

The following month, the VP was left red faced after he dropped the College Football Playoff National Championship trophy while hosting Ohio State - the college he attended.

Senior running back TreVeyon Henderson attempted to pass the trophy to Mr Vance, only for it to come apart, leaving Henderson holding its top section, while the surprised VP hurried to gather the base portion.

Most recently, the Republican was accused of breaking Vatican protocol just one

He posted a seemingly innocent picture showing him holding his son inside the Sistine Chapel, though the Vatican Museum's website makes it clear that electronic photography in the holy space is strictly forbidden.

One person raged on X: "For anyone who still says JD is a 'good guy,' um...wut? Taking this pic is basically like giving God the finger."

Another commented: "It's prohibited to preserve the amazing art and sanctity of the space. (I'm not Catholic, and even I know this. You'd think the #VP would, too)."
