US President Donald Trump and US Vice President JD Vance, alongside one of Vance's children, attend the inaugural parade inside Capital One Arena, in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2025. Vance has taken the historically thankless job of US vice president by the scruff of the neck, carving out a role as the Trump administration's global attack dog in its first 100 days. Whereas some of his predecessors have waited out their time a heartbeat away from the presidency, the ambitious 40-year-old has not been afraid to insert himself into world events.
