JD Vance joins Navy SEAL training, pushes limits in grueling workout
JD Vance joined Navy SEALs in rigorous exercises, describing the experience as intense despite their leniency, while facing criticism for prioritizing image over governance.
- On Monday, Vice President JD Vance shared photos of his training with the Navy SEALs in Coronado, California.
- Critics and commenters on social media argued the photos were optics-driven, with one writing `Nice cosplay as a Navy SEAL` and another saying `Leadership isn’t about photo ops, it’s about fixing the mess at home.`
- During the session, Vance jogged on the beach, helped carry a log, climbed netting, and wrote on X that the Navy SEALs `took it easy on me and I still feel like I got hit by a freight train.`
- Online, responses showed GI Jello faced negative comments, social-media users quoted `Photo ops should be illegal`, and linked the stunt to public concerns over housing and grocery prices.
- Critics framed the episode as a pathetic vanity project masquerading as 'training,' calling Vance's stunt a slap in the face to real service members while federal workers go unpaid during his administration's shutdown, comparing it to Jake Paul pretending he’s a real boxer.
