JD Vance’s attempt to stage a good old-fashioned photo-op in a Georgia donut shop didn’t go quite the way he hoped. While the Ohio Senator was likely trying to charm voters, what ended up stealing the spotlight wasn’t his policy points or his folksy charm—it was his haircut. Yes, the internet has had a field day with Vance’s, let’s say, interesting hairdo.
Original story HERE.
As Vance tried to chat up the locals and order some donuts, social media was ablaze with comments on his hair. One tweet summed it up best, comparing his haircut to something out of “Medieval Times,” where it might be used to punish the unfortunate souls tasked with cleaning up after donkeys. Ouch. Another user went as far as to suggest Vance’s cut was so bad, it should be “disqualifying” from politics altogether. Now, that’s harsh.
The criticism didn’t stop there. Some pointed out that Vance’s hair looked like unfinished business, with more than a few wondering how his staff could let him walk out like that without saying a word. One particular tweet joked that he might’ve gotten his haircut at one of those places for kids where the chairs look like race cars, and you get a lollipop afterward. That image is hard to shake once it’s in your head.
Of course, it’s easy to pile on, especially when something as trivial as a haircut becomes the main talking point of a political event. But in the age of social media, even a minor slip can turn into a meme-fueled wildfire. Whether it’s JD Vance trying to connect with voters over donuts or just walking into a shop, the internet will find something to meme—and this time, it was his unfortunate haircut.

At the end of the day, this wasn’t the attention Vance was hoping for. The focus has shifted from his policies to whether or not he needs a new barber. And for a guy who wants to project the image of a serious political player, that’s a tough break. As much as politicians want to be in control of their image, moments like this remind us that in today’s world, the internet has the final say—and right now, it’s not being kind to JD Vance’s hair.
I still can’t get past JD Vance’s haircut. It looks like something they do to punish u in Medieval Times. Like the dudes who cleanup donkey dung all day are forced to wear these cuts, so everyone knows he’s a donkey boy. pic.twitter.com/rnoyGYhpqv

This video of JD Vance trying to order donuts like a human being is mesmerizing, but I CANNOT look away from his haircut. The back looks like the Stooges got into a fight with a pair of clippers. And the best bit is that his staff obviously see this all the time AND SAY NOTHING. https://t.co/WLuMaYm4ev
