Vice President JD Vance found himself at the center of social media mockery Tuesday night after his fashion choices at President Donald Trump’s annual address to Congress caught the attention of viewers. Many took to Twitter to poke fun at what they described as “baby-sized pants,” with critics slamming his poorly tailored suit.
One Twitter user, @squareheaddoug, didn’t hold back, writing, “People might actually listen to you if you got a pair of big-boy pants.” They went on to question Vance’s wardrobe decisions, sarcastically adding, “A pair that actually reaches your shoes would be nice. Who’s dressing you? A Goodwill store has better tailors than whoever put that suit on you!”
As if the online ridicule wasn’t enough, Vance’s short trousers were on full display during his now-infamous remarks to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In an awkward moment, Vance questioned whether Zelensky had ever personally thanked the U.S. for its financial and military support—a statement widely criticized as out of touch. But instead of his comments making headlines, it was his ill-fitting pants that had people talking, with some speculating that he simply grabbed a slim-fit suit off the rack without tailoring it properly.
Trump Lays Out His Vision for Final Term
While Vance’s wardrobe mishap stole attention online, President Trump used his address to lay out an ambitious—and controversial—agenda for his second term. Speaking before a Republican-controlled Congress, Trump doubled down on his commitment to reshaping Washington, targeting wasteful government spending, illegal immigration, and what he called “woke culture.”
