JD Vance savagely claps back at trolls claiming photo shows him yelling at wife Usha inside restaurant
Check, please!
U.S. Vice President JD Vance fired back online after a rumor‑laden image that had been shared across social media seemed to depict a heated argument between him and his wife Usha. The picture shows the veep staring disapprovingly while wearing a plain white T‑shirt, seated in a restaurant booth opposite Usha, who appears downcast with her hand cradling her face. Although the photo has no date and its authenticity has not been confirmed, many observers jumped to the conclusion that it could be an AI‑crafted fabrication.
The image, which some internet sleuths say is generated by artificial intelligence, was originally posted on Facebook by user Thomas Clay Jr. on December 5. In the comments, “Trump‑haters” scoffed at what they called “trouble in paradise for the Vances,” tossing snide remarks that ranged from “Looks like things are not so good in Republicanistan” to other eye‑rolling one‑liners. The viral picture also sparked speculation that the couple’s marriage was already under strain.
Facing the backlash, Vance chose to humor the controversy on X, writing: “I always wear an undershirt when I go out in public to have a fight loudly with my wife.” The tweet, replete with the characteristically blunt humor that Vance brings to his public life, turned a potentially damaging post into a punchline. While the statement may have seemed outlandish, it underscored the vice president’s willingness to own the narrative instead of fighting it.
The media and social‑media chatter about the Vances’ relationship began to intensify when, in October, the Vice President was photographed holding the hand of Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika, leading to rumors about his personal life. That same month, Usha was seen at events with First Lady Melania Trump appearing without her wedding ring, further fueling speculation about their situation.
In a later interview with NBC News, Vance shrugged off the internet noise, stating that the couple “kind of get a kick out of it.” He added that Usha’s spokesperson clarified that the wife’s occasional ringlessness is simply due to her being a busy mom who “does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes.”
Through all of this, Vance’s retorts have kept the public conversation alive, while Usha’s public relations team has aimed to downplay the image’s significance. Whether the photo was a real snapshot or an engineered hoax, the Vice President’s swift and humorous response has shown how political figures can leverage social media to shape narratives in real‑time.
