JD Vance's entourage to the Olympics came over in 14 planes, with 1 plane entirely full of food supplies.

@wesdym No joke here. I was stating the obvious. I may have said: "could have you expected anything different?" That thing of flying a plane of food is playing overwhelmingly the american cliché.

I add that probably also Italians would do the same if they were to go to America, but instead of a plane full of Coca-cola and processed foods (as I prejudicially expect it to be), they would hide spaghetti and tomato sauce within their clothes.

OK, so JD Vance having a 100 car motorcade travelling through the streets of Milan is one way of projecting political power.

But if he really wanted to impress Europeans he could have just gone and done his own supermarket shopping.

@ProjectFearlessness He brought his own food. To Milan. To Italy.

@ProjectFearlessness Except, he couldn't, because everywhere he goes, he gets booed out of the place.

@Wyatt_H_Knott
Well, of course. In Europe, where we measure the success of a politician by how much they can be seen in public without getting boo'd, Vance is an abject failure. Don't care how many cars he's got.

@ProjectFearlessness Well, this time last year he tried to come here to my home state of #Vermont for a nice ski vacation and we booed him right out of the state. He left early.

@ProjectFearlessness Sure anger... but anyone with any gastronomic experience knows better than to take food to Italy. Or France. Or anywhere with real butter, cheese, or non growth hormone meat.

I’m an emotional human, and raised by French trained chef, a bit of a foodie. I have literally wept at food I’ve been served in Italy because it was so good. One Nonna taught me how to make meatballs that armies would fight for. (And given that she was old enough to have seen the rise and fall of the Romans...) I have had espresso so good I asked the man to marry me. Fruit and veg so fresh you want to slap their faces.

I cannot imagine bringing food to Italy. What an insult. And such a stupid insult too. Worthy of this regime, I suppose.

@12thRITS @ProjectFearlessness

He didn't know you can get pizza in Italy. America needs better education.

@ASprinkleofSage @seb321 @ProjectFearlessness Still better than bringing American food to Italy. Just barely.

@Wyatt_H_Knott
I was just thinking about that earlier. He doesn't have any luck with winter sports. I remember the signs. JD Vance skis in jeans!
