Vice President JD Vance has become the subject of online ridicule for his “tiny pants,” which have sparked a new campaign called “Make pants great again!”
On March 4, Donald Trump gave a fiery congressional address, marking his first since starting his second presidency. Trump quickly made headlines, promising that his bold political approach was “just getting started.”
While Trump’s speech was shaping America’s future, the internet had its focus on Vice President JD Vance, 40, who has recently found himself in the middle of several political controversies. After being criticized for a remark that embarrassed diplomatic circles, the online community has now shifted its attention to something else—his pants.
Tiny pants trend
Social media exploded when users began noticing Vance’s unusual choice of three-quarter-length pants. Whether at press conferences, rallies, or other political events, his pants appeared to be too short.
Some users thought Vance was trying to pull off a trendy cropped look, while others compared him to a high schooler who outgrew his clothes but refused to buy new ones.
One user tweeted, “What is with JD Vance short tight pants as he talks about real men and masculinity?” Another added, “Say hello to tiny pants vance,” alongside a photo of him at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where his trousers sat several inches above his knees. The jokes kept rolling in, with one user referring to the Elton John song, writing, “Hold me closer tiny pantser.”
#TinyPantsVance trending
Since Vance’s pants became a talking point, the hashtag #TinyPantsVance has taken off on social media. Users continue to poke fun, with one saying, “How can anyone take Vance seriously? His trousers are halfway up his legs.”
Others also commented, suggesting that he might be taken more seriously if he wore “big-boy” pants that went down to his feet instead of his mid-calf. Some even joked, “Tie too long, and pants too high. Is bro waiting for a flood?”
Though Vance stands at 6-foot-2, the debate continues on whether his height is the reason his pants look too short.
