Everyone’s saying the same thing as JD Vance reveals Halloween costume
For months, Vice President JD Vance has been the focus of endless online jokes — from South Park spoofs to viral AI parodies. His image has become a favorite target for meme creators across the internet.
But this Halloween, the 41-year-old politician decided to join in on the fun and flip the script himself.
In a now-viral TikTok video, Vance appears at his front door wearing a curly wig — perfectly matching the messy hairstyle from his most famous meme. “Happy Halloween, kids… remember, say thank you!” he quips, referencing his tense viral moment with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, when he asked, “Have you said thank you once?”
The internet reaction was instant and mixed, but largely amused. “Not a fan, but this is hilarious,” one viewer commented. Another wrote, “He’s trolling the trolls — love it.”
Of course, not everyone approved. Some fans of the original meme sighed, saying, “And just like that… the meme is dead.”
Still, even critics agreed the move was unexpected — a rare instance of a political figure leaning into the joke rather than avoiding it.
Love him or hate him, JD Vance just showed that he’s not afraid to laugh at himself — and in today’s serious political climate, that might be the boldest statement of all.
@jd Happy Halloween everyone, remember to say thank you while you trick or treat!
