JD Vance, the recently appointed Vice President-elect, has showcased his allegiance to President-elect Donald Trump following a tough campaign against Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz. In the midst of celebrating their victory, Vance shared a peculiar Thanksgiving photo that has raised eyebrows once again.
Vice President-elect JD Vance posted an image inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 Thanksgiving painting “Freedom From Want.” In this reinterpretation, President-elect Donald Trump’s face replaces the husband in the original artwork, while Vance assumes the role of the wife. Instead of holding a dish of food, Vance’s wife figure is depicted holding a map of the United States highlighting the states and districts won by the Trump-Vance campaign.
The decision to use this iconic painting as a symbol of victory has sparked criticism, particularly due to the emphasis on American family values that Trump and his team often promote. Despite the possibility of it being intended as a joke, many online observers found the photo cringeworthy and believed it only reinforced existing criticisms. JD Vance has yet to provide an explanation for sharing the photo, but the message he was trying to convey has stirred mixed reactions and left some feeling uneasy.
Below, we’ve compiled responses from social media platforms regarding JD Vance’s Thanksgiving photo.
