JD Vance faces backlash over controversial Thanksgiving post featuring Trump

JD Vance, the Republican Vice President-elect, sparked controversy with a Thanksgiving social media post. He shared an edited version of Norman Rockwell's "Freedom From Want," featuring himself as a woman serving Donald Trump, who is depicted as the head of the table. Critics reacted strongly, calling the post "weird" and "embarrassing." Some suggested Vance's choice was an attempt to regain favor with Trump amid concerns about Elon Musk's growing influence. Vance also shared a more traditional Thanksgiving message earlier in the day, expressing gratitude for the nation. However, the edited image overshadowed his festive note, drawing widespread attention and ridicule online.
