Vice President J.D. Vance just pulled off the most self-aware Halloween costume in Washington — dressing up as the viral meme version of himself that’s been plastered all over the internet for months.

On Friday afternoon, Vance posted a selfie on X showing him in a curly brown wig, suit, and red tie — recreating the exaggerated “meme Vance” look that has taken social media by storm. The photo racked up more than 700,000 views within hours.

The “JD Vance meme” began earlier in 2024 year after heavily edited photos of the then-Senator went viral — some puffing up his cheeks, widening his eyes, and giving him an unruly mop of curls. The images, initially shared by critics to mock him, quickly escaped political circles and became a bipartisan internet joke. Even supporters began using the meme playfully, turning it into a kind of folk-art version of the vice president’s face.

Over time, “meme Vance” became a digital fixture — appearing in endless remixes, TikTok edits, and parody accounts. What started as ridicule transformed into a surreal part of modern political culture. So when Vance decided to step into the curly-haired meme for Halloween, he wasn’t just wearing a costume — he was reclaiming the punchline.

The trend started with a lightly edited photo that spiraled into thousands of iterations across social platforms. Both supporters and critics joined in: the left using the images to mock Vance’s populist persona, and the right occasionally flipping the script by turning him into a hyper-masculine “GigaChad” icon.

Major outlets like The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and Gizmodo chronicled how the distorted photos became one of the year’s strangest and most wide-reaching political memes. Beyond humor, the meme captured something deeper about modern politics — how internet culture turns public figures into symbolic battlegrounds.

What began as a random joke evolved into a surreal commentary on fame, masculinity, and how politics now unfolds in the age of viral absurdity.
