On Friday, President Donald Trump and actor Vince Vaughn shared a playful moment reminiscent of Vaughn’s iconic role in the 2005 film Wedding Crashers. The encounter culminated in a humorous image that was presented by the White House on social media, dubbed “White House Crashers.”

The Playful Image

The image, crafted to resemble a movie poster, showcases a beaming Vaughn standing behind a seated Trump, both of whom are smiling in front of the presidential seal. The playful nature of the photograph was further emphasized by the caption shared on the official White House Instagram account, featuring an American flag emoji paired with the text, “President Donald J. Trump & Vince Vaughn in the Oval Office.”

Public Reactions

The White House’s social media post garnered a range of responses from the public. Supporters of Trump expressed enthusiasm for the post, with one fan stating, “Love to see bold celebs supporting President Trump!” Another commented, “This White House social media account is GOLD! Love this.”

Conversely, not all reactions were positive. Some critics voiced their disapproval, with comments such as, “Vince Vaughn canceled,” and, “Vince Vaughn is about to be the most hated man in Hollywood now.”

Vaughn’s Political Stance

Vince Vaughn, known for his comedic roles including his partnership with Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers, has been vocal about his political views, identifying as a libertarian. He has emphasized the importance of personal choice in governance, stating, “I’d rather say let people make their choices, and they can make different choices and have the consequences of their choices.”

This is not the first time Vaughn has been in the public eye for his political interactions; in 2020, he faced backlash after being photographed with Trump at the College Football Playoff national championship. At the time, Vaughn defended his actions, explaining that he remained cordial with various politicians regardless of their affiliations.

Looking Back: ‘Wedding Crashers’

The 2005 film Wedding Crashers stars Vaughn and Owen Wilson as two divorce mediators who engage in crashing weddings for fun. Their comedic exploits have left a lasting legacy, making this recent spoof in the Oval Office a nostalgic nod to fans of the film.
