Trump’s Vance meme has internet asking questions

Trump Shares Strange Meme of Vance

Trump posted a meme showing him and Vice President JD Vance chasing Obama in police cars. The image was edited from the famous O.J. Simpson car chase. Trump appeared normal, but Vance had a bloated, cartoon-like face that looked nothing like him.

Versions of the meme showed Vance with eyeliner, long hair, lipstick, and nails. Some people online said it looked like a joke. Others thought the image was meant to send a message. Vance did not respond or repost the meme.

Meme Raises Questions About Tension

People noticed that Trump used a regular photo of himself while using an edited, goofy image of Vance. Trump is known for avoiding unflattering pictures of himself, so the choice stood out.

This led to speculation that Trump and Vance might not be getting along. One user commented that Trump joined the “fat goofy Vance” meme trend. Another person asked how Vance felt about being shown that way, since it was not a respectful look.

Vance Met Murdoch Before WSJ Story

The meme came not long after rumors that Vance met with Rupert Murdoch. Soon after that meeting, the Wall Street Journal posted a piece that criticized Trump. That timing made people talk.

Some online users wondered if Vance went behind Trump’s back. People believed the meme might have been Trump’s way of showing anger or mistrust. It wasn’t just a joke anymore. Many thought something political was going on between the two leaders.

Meme Might Show Political Warning

People online started saying that Trump used the meme as a warning to Vance. By using a silly image of Vance but keeping his face normal, Trump may have been sending a public message.

Some thought the picture choice was on purpose. If Trump felt betrayed by the Murdoch meeting, the meme could have been his way of showing power. Others wondered why Vance hadn’t commented yet. Silence made the rumor grow more.

Eric Trump Posts the Same Meme

Eric Trump also shared the same meme. His version was meant to target Obama, but people noticed it still used the same bloated image of JD Vance. That raised new questions.

People started saying Eric was also poking fun at Vance. Some thought it was a distraction from other stories, like Trump’s connection to Epstein files. Even with the meme getting attention, people still wanted answers about those court documents.

Trump Shares Health Diagnosis Next

After the meme buzz, Trump revealed that he had a health condition. He was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a problem that causes swelling in the lower legs. He showed bruises on his hand.

The White House said this is a common issue for people his age. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump felt no pain. Doctors said there was no sign of deeper health trouble. The rumors on TikTok saying Trump had four days to live were completely false.

TikTok Health Rumors Proven False

TikTok videos went viral, saying Trump only had four days to live. These videos got thousands of likes. But the White House called the rumor false and said Trump was in excellent health.

The doctor ran blood tests, vascular studies, and ultrasounds. All test results came back normal. They found no deep vein problems or artery disease. The bruises on Trump’s hand came from handshaking and aspirin use. None of it suggested a serious illness or threat to his life.

Trump’s Crypto Value Rises Fast

At the same time, Trump made a big profit from his meme coin. A release of 90 million $TRUMP tokens was expected to raise his net worth by nearly $100 million. The coins were worth $930 million.

Trump had already made $150 million trading the coin by mid-June. The unlock raised the supply of coins by 45 percent. Bloomberg said his fortune from crypto was growing fast. His crypto businesses are managed by entities tied directly to him and his family.

Meme Coin Has Big Price Risks

Even with big profits, the $TRUMP meme coin carries big risks. It has no real value and depends only on Trump’s popularity. The coin’s price goes up and down very quickly.

After Justin Sun, creator of the Tron blockchain, said he’d buy $100 million in coins, the price jumped 10 percent. He is already the biggest holder. Sun also got a Trump-branded watch at a special event with Trump for top coin investors held in May.

Trump Family Grows Crypto Business

Trump’s family made $620 million from crypto since he won the election. His sons, Eric and Donald Jr., help manage the businesses. They’re shareholders in a crypto mining company.

The company will soon merge with Gryphon Digital Mining. After the deal, the new company could be worth over $4.5 billion. Trump’s assets are held in a trust run by his children. The White House says there are no conflicts with his government role.

Vance Meme Linked to Travel Rumor

A meme of JD Vance also showed up in a strange travel story. A Norwegian tourist named Mads Mikkelsen claimed U.S. border agents found the meme on his phone and denied him entry.

Reports said the meme showed Vance as bald, smooth-faced, and staring into space. But Customs and Border Protection said this story was false. They said Mikkelsen was not banned over a meme but because he admitted to using drugs during screening.

CBP Denies Meme Entry Ban Story

CBP posted on X that the tourist story was not true. They said the man was stopped because of past drug use. It had nothing to do with memes or political opinions. The tourist also had a photo of a wooden pipe, which raised more questions.

He gave agents his phone password after they asked. Homeland Security officials said the meme story was “BS” and that memes don’t decide who enters the country.

JD Vance Becomes Meme Magnet

Vance has become the target of many viral memes. Some show him as a hero, while others twist his face into silly shapes. Many of the funnier memes make his face look big or smooth.

Vance hasn’t said anything about these images. He hasn’t shared the Trump meme either. That has made people guess if he is annoyed or just ignoring the jokes. The memes continue to spread online and catch attention from all kinds of people.

JD Vance Connects With Gen Z

Even with the jokes, many young people feel connected to JD Vance. He grew up poor in Ohio, raised by his grandma. His parents divorced, and his mom got addicted to pills. He later joined the military, went to Yale, and became a lawyer.

He started a business and a family. His story makes him relatable to Gen Z. They see their struggles in him. Many respect how he turned his life around without being handed anything.

Young Voters See Hope in Vance

Young voters like Vance because he doesn’t try to act above others. He prays before bed, keeps calm in public, and avoids starting fights. He talks clearly and sticks to facts. Vance is married, has three kids, and believes in traditional values.

He speaks for people who feel ignored. Some believe he could be the next president one day. Even memes haven’t changed how many people see him as someone who lives the American Dream.

Whether it was a joke or a warning, it stirred public talk. Vance’s silence kept the mystery alive. The story also touched on travel bans, cryptocurrency, and Gen Z support. Memes may look funny, but they can say a lot in today’s world of politics.
