JD Vance's Thanksgiving meme of himself as Trump's wife sparks social media backlash
Ohio Senator JD Vance created a stir on social media with a Thanksgiving meme depicting himself as "Trump's wife" in a parody of Norman Rockwell's famous painting. The image features Trump standing behind Vance, which sparked various interpretations online. Critics questioned the political implications of the meme, suggesting it portrayed Vance's submissiveness to Trump. The image also included a U.S. electoral map highlighting counties that voted for Trump in 2024, further fueling commentary. While Vance's post gained attention, Trump celebrated Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago with high-profile guests, including Elon Musk. Vance appeared to spend the holiday quietly with his family, contrasting with Trump's festive gathering.
