However, Vance did not realize that the black base was almost a stand for the gold vessel, and it almost fell out of his hands as he went to lift it all.
Fortunately, Vance came partly thanks to thank you for helping from head coach Ryan Day and Star, who runs back Treveyon Henderson, who were both quick to help him.
Vance took the trophy from its stand and felt much more comfortable as the pictures continued on the lawn of the White House.
Vice -President joked with X after seeing the clip of him going viral.
“I didn’t want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy, so I decided to break it,” he wrote.

Apart from having the trophy, Buckeyes also made Trump a custom Buckey’s football jersey with his name and the number 47 on his back in honor of his presidency.
Vance said he was “so proud” to be an Ohio State alumner on this day, while also pointing a finger at US Senator Ted Cruz, as the vice president says, has to pay for an effort.

“I just want to say a few words about this team because they really helped make a really incredible year even better for this very proud Ohio State -Alun,” vance began. “First of all, I made an effort with Ted Cruz over the Texas game, an effort he still hasn’t paid for. Ted Cruz if you watch TV – I don’t like losing any bet but I really won’t lose an effort for Ted Cruz. So thank you, everyone to help me win that rate against Ted Cruz.”
Vance also admitted to Trump that he wanted to see Buckeyes faced Notre Dame fighting Irish in the national championship, but it landed on January 20 – the day of Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president.
“The other thing I asked the president on January 20, I said, ‘Sir, you would mind if I skipped the final inauguration ball to go to the Ohio State National Championship Game.’ The president said, ‘No, but we get them in the White House.’ So here we celebrate their national title, ”said Vance and Lo.
“In guys were resilient. You were tough. You represented the state of Ohio well. You represented the whole country well.”
Trump praised Buckeyes for fighting through 12-man playoffs, especially after hard losses to Oregon Ducks and Michigan Wolverines, the latter of which was Ohio State’s most bitter rival.
