Is he cursed? Trump VP JD Vance is having a horrible, terrible, awful streak (UPDATED!)

You’re down-hearted and confused,

Because lately you’ve been startin’ to lose,

Losin’ out on everything you might try to do.

Bad luck, fella’s got a hold on you.

If vice president JD Vance has the 1974 hit “Bad Luck” by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes stuck in his head, you can understand: The guy is on some streak.

First, he went to Greenland and couldn’t find a single person who wanted to be seen with him after Donald Trump and Vance’s remarks about annexing the country. So, he visited to a U.S. military base, where soldiers were commanded to hang out with him. When the military base chief distanced herself from Vance’s critical remarks about Denmark, she was fired.

Then, in a meeting at the White House with Ohio State, the college football champions, Vance broke the championship trophy.

Vance visited Pope Francis, who at first brushed him off, then granted him a quick audience. The pope died the next day — and Vance insisted it was a sign from God (who probably rolled his eyes).

Just to make sure Vance got the message, God apparently sent him another sign — likely provoked when Vance laughed at Trump’s social media post that mocked the dead Pope: Vance visited India and a terrorist attack and war followed.

And then came another: On Thursday, Cardinals elected Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, as the first American pope in the church’s history, and he has already condemned Vance and Trump’s cruelty of immigrants, along with Vance’s views of Christianity and charity.

His half-brother, Cory Bowman, running a no-chance-in-hell campaign for mayor of Cincinnati, parlayed an endorsement from Vance into a ... 83% to 13% loss, but he’ll advance to the general election.

Vance also is being mocked for his lack of knowledge about nuclear weapons.

“Which regime in the world has civil nuclear power and enrichment without having a nuclear weapon?” he asked attendees at the Munich Security Conference. “The answer is no one.”

Wrong, experts say: Germany, Netherlands, Brazil and Japan all have civil nuclear power and the ability to enrich uranium. None have nuclear weapons.

Losing your wisdom and all your track of time

The more I think about it, I think you’re ‘bout to lose your mind

Some people call it jinx, some say, “It ain’t my day”

But if you wanna know the truth about it,

I’ll tell you what’s pulling you way down ... bad luck

And, trade experts tell us: Economic plague and pestilence are coming, thanks to Trump’s “dumbest trade war in history,” which Vance has been defending.

Bottom line: You probably shouldn’t stand next to Vance in a thunderstorm. Because as those Blue Notes would tell him:

You got bad luck (that’s what you got, that’s what you got), yeah

Bad luck (that’s what you got, that’s what you got), yeah

Bad luck (that’s what you got, that’s what you got)

You got bad luck, bad luck (bad).

Bowman shares a father with Vance and credits the vice president with convincing him to get into politics.

Bowman finished second in Tuesday’s primary, winning 12.91% of the vote behind Mayor Aftab Pureval’s 82.53%. The two beat a third candidate, Republican Brian Frank, to advance to the general election this fall.

Bowman, 36, is the founding co-pastor of a local nondenominational evangelical church, and co-owns a coffee shop in the same neighborhood, along with his wife Jordan, according to NPR. His campaign is built on money management, increasing public safety, improving infrastructure, lowering property taxes and protecting children, including “safeguarding the unborn.”

While Bowman has called Vance an “incredible role model,” he has also stressed that his half-brother is “not a political counselor to me.”

Probably a good idea, because lately the guy’s a walking disaster.
