Hilarious: JD Vance Cracks Joke On NYSE Trading Floor

Vice President-elect JD Vance joined President Trump on Thursday at the New York Stock Exchange.

President Trump was offered to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange shortly after being declared the winner of Time Magazine’s Person of the Year.

While greeting stock brokers on the trading floor after the opening bell ceremony, Vance cracked a joke with traders and said, “It’s 9:48 am. Shouldn’t you be making money?”

Per The Hill:

President-elect Trump on Thursday rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York, following his selection as Time magazine’s “Person of the Year.”

Trump thanked the legacy outlet, praised the NYSE and touted some of his economic goals for his second term in remarks ahead of the bell ringing as he stood in front of a picture with his new Time title.

“It is an honor. And this is a double, because usually they don’t coordinate the man of the year – or the Person of the Year – with the ringing of the bell. And brilliantly, you’ve picked them both at the same time … It takes one trip,” Trump said.

Former first lady Melania Trump, who rang the NYSE bell in 2019, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, were among those in attendance, as was Vice President-elect JD Vance.

The president-elect has longstanding business and personal ties to New York, though his home base is now in Florida. It’s his first time ringing the opening bell, which marks the start of the day’s trading.

Per Newsweek:

President-elect Donald Trump has told the New York Stock Exchange that the economy will be “very strong” during his upcoming presidency.

Trump rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, as he was recognized by Time magazine on Thursday as its Person of the Year. Trump took the stage with his family and “compatriots.” The president-elect said in his speech that while the economy will be strong, “we do have to solve some problems.”
