People React To JD Vance’s Trump-Loving Thanksgiving Post

If Vice President-elect JD Vance desires individuals to cease calling him bizarre, he may wish to cease doing stuff like this.

On Thanksgiving, the Republican posted an edited picture of Norman Rockwell’s 1943 Thanksgiving portray “Freedom From Need” on social media.

The portray depicts a person and a lady on the head of a desk the place a household is seated for his or her vacation meal. The lady, carrying a frilly apron, is serving a turkey because the patriarch watches over her.

In Vance’s model, the person on the head of the desk is Donald Trump, the girl is Vance, and the turkey is a Republican-dominated electoral map of the nation.

Earlier, within the day, Vance had posted a extra typical vacation missive, writing, “Completely satisfied Thanksgiving everybody! Regardless of our challenges, we stay the best nation on this planet, and I’m very grateful for it — and for all of you!”

It was actually extra festive than the president-elect’s personal publish, which, in accordance together with his custom, largely focussed on attacking “Radical Left Lunatics.”

Social media customers have been really baffled by Vance’s selection.

“I’ve seen a variety of embarrassing habits on this app, however I’ve by no means seen something fairly like this,” wrote movie government Franklin Leonard.

Former Kamala Harris adviser Mike Nellis provided his personal interpretation, speculating Vance was being obsequious to win again affect over Trump, who has been palling round with billionaire Elon Musk for the reason that election.

“My head cannon for that is Vance is nervous about Elon having extra affect than him, so he thought posting this bizarre ass meme would win him favor once more. Which… truthfully may work as a result of Trump is useless as hell and loves these items,” Nellis wrote on Bluesky.

Vance’s publish evidently caught Musk’s eye; the SpaceX CEO reacted with a laughing emoji.
