After the heated news conference of JD Vance with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a new baby face meme of him has swept over social media
The face of JD Vance is blown up in the pictures, giving him a humorously infantile and chubby appearance.

Although the baby-faced alterations of JD Vance have been around for a while, the meme trend gained fresh popularity after a particularly antagonistic meeting between Vance, President Donald Trump, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
During a news conference on Friday, Trump and Vance said that Zelensky should put more effort into reaching a ceasefire with Russia to stop the current conflict in Ukraine and called for him to express greater thanks for years of U.S. support.

Vance repeatedly asked Zelensky if he had ever publicly thanked the United States for military support in response to Zelensky’s rebuttal to remarks made by both Trump and Vance.
Several of the memes make reference to this contentious discussion, with images of Vance frequently taken from the press conference, with his beard cropped off and his demands ridiculed in baby talk such as “You shoulda said pwease and tank you, Mistow Zensky.”

Memes
“It’s disrespectful if you don’t say thank you,” wrote one with a very enlarged Vance face.
Vance’s face was expanded and his skin colored purple by another, giving him the appearance of Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who, after consuming experimental chewing gum while on a tour of Willy Wonka’s candy factory, transforms into a gigantic blueberry.
“Vance has been mad ever since he fell into a chocolate river,” one post said, drawing comparisons to another Wonka character, Augustus Gloop.
I don’t understand how the right supports this. Crashing out and yelling while Zelenskyy remains calm makes you look fucking weak. I thought Trump and JD Vance were supposed to understand strength. They look like bitch losers pic.twitter.com/zeFdCTFRWO

A user responded to it by posting their own interpretation of Vance’s larger face on top of a peasant child’s body from the movie Shrek Forever After.
Although Vance has not yet made a public statement regarding the memes, many conjectured that because of his very visible online persona, the vice president has already seen the posts.
