Vice President JD Vance Becomes Viral Meme After Contentious Zelensky Meeting

The internet has turned Vance into a political Rorschach test, with both left and right reshaping his image to fit their narratives.

JD Vance's face has been heavily edited into memes, symbolizing political polarization as both sides of the spectrum use his image to push their narratives.
The meme phenomenon intensified after a heated Oval Office exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where Vance demanded gratitude for U.S. support.
The left portrays Vance as a petulant, childish figure, while the right frames him as a tough nationalist hero, creating a stark dichotomy in meme culture.
Vance has responded good-humoredly to the viral trend, describing it as funny, while others note that the memes have overshadowed his real appearance in public perception.
Experts suggest this trend reflects broader disillusionment with politics, as memes become a vehicle for public expression and commentary in the digital age.
