Fat JD Vance
The "Fat JD" meme is a viral internet caricature of U.S. Vice President JD Vance that depicts him with an exaggeratedly round face, widened eyes, and long, curly brown hair. Originating in February 2025 following a contentious meeting where Vance repeatedly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, "Did you even say thank you?", the image became a symbol of mockery regarding his diplomatic conduct and perceived petulance. In a notable turn of events in October 2025, Vance leaned into the ridicule by dressing as the "Fat JD" character for Halloween, donning a curly wig and reenacting the meme in social media videos.
