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.
With 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.”
“Boy that sounds like a big crowd and my kind of people,” the president noted of the rally.
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.”
President Trump, meanwhile, has plenty on his plate that requires his attention. 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.
