The Vice President of the United States has just made quite the explicit gesture to a crowd mere hours after President Donald Trump dropped the F-bomb in a rant about Israel and Iran.
It seems like the Trump administration is really amping up the vulgarity recently, after the 79-year-old Republican was seen leaving for the NATO summit on Tuesday (24 June) when he hit out at the two nations for allegedly violating a ceasefire, claiming they 'don't know' what they're doing.
"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don't know what the f**k they're doing," Trump said.
Finishing his response, the politician told the group of reporters: "Do you understand that?"

And now, seemingly following suit, JD Vance has flipped his middle finger up while telling a story at a Republican dinner in Ohio yesterday.
Attacking who he described as 'pink-haired people', the VP told the crowd: "I know it’s not always easy to be a political candidate, trust me. In Washington, D.C. they have this thing, I think it means we’re No.1 in Washington, D.C."
It was at this point that Vance flipped his middle finger to the crowd.
"But all the pink-haired people throw up this sign and I think that means we’re No.1 right? I choose to take that as that symbol in Washington," Vance added, continuing to hold his finger up while he spoke.
Responding to the now-viral moment, one X user exclaimed: "Holy sh*t we got president saying f*ck and vice president showing middle finger!"
"Damn, a f*ck and a finger today. What in the hell will tomorrow bring?" speculated a second, while a third echoed: "F bombs and middle fingers! What a day!"
A fourth declared: "Trump was having a rowdy day and JD didn't want to miss the opportunity to hide in the news cycle lmaooo."
"Trump with F bombs and Vance with the finger.. the new face of America," lamented a fifth.
And a final X user noted: "JD Vance just threw up the MIDDLE FINGER live on national TV.
"You can’t make this up. The Vice President of the United States is now doing middle school rebellion cosplay on C-Span like he’s auditioning for a Kid Rock tribute band."
This is not the first time Vance has sparked major outrage online recently. Just a day ago (24 June), he was called out after sharing a 'revolting' post amid the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.
During all of the major global news updates about the world events, Vance took it upon himself to share a post on his 'exciting' experience as Vice President.
The post in question, which was uploaded to X yesterday afternoon (24 June) reads: "I wonder if other VPs had as much excitement as I do [cry laughing emoji]."
