For months, Vice President JD Vance has been the target of countless internet memes. From South Park jokes to AI parodies, his image has been remixed, mocked, and multiplied across social media. But this Halloween, the 41-year-old decided to turn the joke on its head.
In a TikTok clip now going viral, Vance opens the door wearing a curly wig — the same wild hair featured in his most famous meme. “Happy Halloween, kids… remember, say thank you!” he laughs, referencing the moment that inspired it all: a tense exchange with Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy where he asked, “Have you said thank you once?”
Fans were stunned — and surprisingly amused. “Not a fan, but this was funny,” one person wrote. Another added, “I love how he trolls the trolls.” Still, others couldn’t help but sigh: “And just like that… the meme is ruined.”
Whether people loved it or hated it, one thing’s clear — JD Vance isn’t hiding from the internet’s jokes anymore. He’s owning them. And in a political world that rarely laughs at itself, that might be the boldest move of all.
