Vince Vaughn visits Donald Trump in Oval Office
Comedy actor Vince Vaughn visited President Donald Trump at the Oval Office in Washington DC on April 18th.
The official White House account on X shared the moment. The governmental social media account mocked up a fake movie poster based on Vaughn’s classic comedy, Wedding Crashers. The poster showed the actor with Trump at the Oval Office along with the fake movie title, White House Crashers.
As noted by The Hill, the White House didn’t formally list Vaughn’s visit on Trump’s schedule, which is made available to the media. Therefore, it’s unknown what they discussed and the reason for the meeting.
Vaughn and Trump were previously pictured together in New Orleans at the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship game. Following a backlash, Vaughn played down his relationship to Trump and claimed it was the only time he’d met the politician.
He told the Los Angeles Times: “In my career I’ve met a lot of politicians who I’ve always been cordial to. I don’t have a party that I support and endorse. In fact, for me sometimes it’s difficult to find a candidate that you feel is philosophically consistent and not just going along with whoever is funding their particular party.”
Vaughn is a libertarian rather than affiliated with a specific party and told the New York Times Magazine last year that he is a “believer more in allowing individuals to make choices.”
The actor added: “I’d rather say let people make their choices, and they can make different choices and have the consequences of their choices.”
Vaughn’s new movie, Nonnas, is set to stream on Netflix next month. In it, he plays Joe, who turns to “generations-old recipes for solace and direction” following the loss of his mother and grandmother. This leads him to set up Enoteca Mari, an old-school Italian restaurant staffed by four elderly women.
