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.”

One of the biggest moments of the night came when Trump praised his new partnership with billionaire Elon Musk. The CEO of Tesla and X (formerly Twitter) now heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has slashed federal programs and resulted in thousands of government layoffs. The president urged lawmakers to applaud Musk’s efforts, prompting a standing ovation from the Republican-majority chamber.
Economic Uncertainty and Political Tensions
Trump’s return to power has been marked by economic turbulence, with inflation still a major concern for many Americans. Despite promises to revitalize the economy, many of his supporters are feeling the financial strain. However, GOP lawmakers remain steadfast in their support, wary of alienating Trump’s loyal voter base.
Not everyone in Congress was willing to go along quietly. Throughout the speech, Trump faced frequent disruptions from Democratic lawmakers. Representative Al Green had to be escorted out after pointing his cane at the president and shouting, “He has no mandate!” At the same time, another Democratic congresswoman held up a sign that read, “This is not normal,” as Trump entered the chamber.

Despite the protests, Trump delivered his speech with confidence, making it clear that his second term will be just as disruptive as his first. And while Americans debate his policies, social media users remain fixated on something else entirely—JD Vance’s unfortunate choice of trousers.
