Even the vice president gets sent to voicemail.
Vice President JD Vance pulled out his cellphone at a rally for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, promising rally goers a special surprise.
That surprise was President Trump.
But, in an awkward moment, Vance got the president’s voicemail.
The VP’s effort to get Trump on the line failed at first. Getty ImagesWith his phone on speaker, an automated voice was heard saying: “I’m sorry, the person you were trying to reach has a voicemail box that is full.”
Vance quickly hung up and dialed again, this time getting the president on the phone.
But with a catch.
“Hey JD, can you give me a second,” Trump told him.
But Trump finally addressed the cheering crowd, endorsing Orban for re-election: “I love Hungary and I love that Victor, I’ll tell you, he’s a fantastic man. We’ve had a tremendous relationship.”

The president is fond of Orban, who’s been a longtime supporter and frequent visitor to Mar-a-Lago.
Vance is on a two-day trip to Hungary to boost Orban’s bid for re-election as his Fidesz party trails badly in the polls.
The general election is on Sunday and Vance projected confidence, telling reporters: “Viktor Orban is, of course, going to win.”

The president has doubled down on his 8 p.m. deadline for Iran to come to a ceasefire deal, vowing “a whole civilization will die tonight” if it doesn’t.
Iran, in response, has cut off direct negotiations with the United States.“Boy that sounds like a big crowd and my kind of people,” the president noted of the rally.
