Vice President JD Vance has unexpectedly become a target of the internet’s meme culture - and has shared his thoughts on the craze.
What began as a niche joke among social media users has now snowballed, turning Vance's facial characteristics into memes so exaggerated that some users claim they've forgotten what the real vice president even looks like.
The Vice President's face has appeared stretched, shrunk, rounded, and distorted in all manner of ways as fans and critics share their views, make light of recent events or share their views.
And now, Vance himself has spoken.
'I can confirm VP Vance has seen many of the memes/edits of his pictures and thinks it's a funny trend,' journalist Julio Rosas of The Blaze reported on X after traveling with him.
The viral images range from Vance as a baby-faced cherub clutching a lollipop, to a brooding emo rocker, to an absurdly plump version of himself saying, 'You have to say pwease and tank you, Mistow Zensky.'
The meme-fueled frenzy erupted following Vance's Oval Office heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last Friday.
During the meeting Vance demanded, 'Have you said thank you once?'
What started as a simple parody of Vance's aggressive questioning quickly spiraled into an out-of-control internet meme.

Star Trek TOS fans will love this one!
