Vance Cracks Up The Internet
Vice President JD Vance is showing America that he’s not just a sharp political mind — he’s got a great sense of humor too. On Friday, the Trump Administration’s Vice President posted a light-hearted Halloween photo that instantly went viral among conservative supporters and social-media users alike.
Vance Plays Along with the Viral “Fat JD” Meme
Vance shared a selfie on X (formerly Twitter) featuring him in a curly brown wig, perfectly mimicking the well-known online meme that affectionately portrays him smiling with exaggerated features. The playful post immediately drew laughter and praise, proving once again that Vance can take a joke while staying grounded in his conservative roots.
Instagram Video Sends Fans into “Twilight Zone” Delight
The Vice President later uploaded a full Halloween video to Instagram, greeting viewers with a grin:
“Happy Halloween — and remember to say thank you.”
Moments later, the screen turns purple as the classic “Twilight Zone” theme plays and Vance spins dramatically in a circle. The clip went viral within hours, earning hundreds of thousands of views from conservatives who appreciated his easygoing personality and quick wit.
The Origin of the Viral Meme
The now-famous meme — sometimes called “Fat JD” — first appeared after a February meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During that meeting, Vance made headlines when he asked Zelensky, “Have you ever said ‘thank you’ once?”
That blunt question resonated with Americans who are tired of endless foreign-aid spending. But online, it sparked a flood of memes depicting Vance with curly hair, rosy cheeks, and a larger-than-life smile — an image the Vice President has now proudly embraced.
Conservatives Cheer Vance’s Humor and Authenticity
Before the big Halloween reveal, conservative commentator Benny Johnson hinted at the costume on Facebook:
“Yesterday I asked JD Vance what his Halloween costume was going to be. He told me, ‘Stay tuned. The internet is going to love this.’”
And he was right. Within minutes of posting, Vance’s photo was spreading across Facebook, Truth Social, and X, with supporters calling him “relatable,” “genuine,” and “the kind of conservative leader we need more of in Washington.”
America’s First “Meme Lord” Vice President
Online followers quickly dubbed him “America’s First Meme Lord Vice President.”
For many conservatives, the moment was a refreshing reminder that strong leadership doesn’t have to be humorless — and that Vice President JD Vance represents a new generation of Republican leaders unafraid to connect with everyday Americans.
As one supporter commented, “If you can laugh at yourself, you can lead the country.”
