JD Vance wants America to believe he’s the smartest man in every room. The problem? Jimmy Kimmel keeps proving the opposite on live television—and Vance cannot handle it.
It started innocently enough: a few jokes, a few eyebrow-raising clips, a little eyeliner conspiracy. But the moment Kimmel aired Vance’s past—and his painfully awkward, painfully real viral moments—something inside the Vice President snapped. And ever since, the feud has become one of the most embarrassing public meltdowns in modern politics.
The moment Vance became a meme
Kimmel realized early on that JD Vance’s biggest weakness wasn’t policy—it was personality. The man is allergic to authenticity. Every handshake is stiff, every smile mechanical, every attempt to seem “normal” collapses into cringe.
So Kimmel did what comedians do best: he amplified the awkwardness until it broke the internet.
During an October 2024 episode, Kimmel brought out Haley Joel Osment—bearded, eyeliner smudged, and dressed like the world’s least convincing small-town politician—to perform a scathing parody of JD Vance. It wasn’t just a comedy sketch. It was a political obituary dressed as satire.
Osment reenacted Vance’s infamous donut shop disaster, where Vance wandered into a Georgia bakery and proved he had no idea how human communication works. He asked the cashier, “How long you worked here?” then responded “Good,” no matter what the answer was. Then, when asked what donuts he wanted, Vance replied with the most robotic phrase ever spoken:
“Whatever makes sense.”
It was like watching AI glitch in real time.
Kimmel’s version turned the cringe up to nuclear levels. Osment’s Vance:
-
Cut in front of an elderly woman
-
Smashed his fist through the display case
-
Asked a Black construction worker, “How long you been Black?”
-
Dunked a donut into the worker’s coffee
-
Asked a pregnant woman, “When do you spawn?”
-
Told a child, “You must be the father.”
The internet erupted. One comment summed it up:
“Haley Joel Osment should win an Emmy for portraying JD Vance trying—and failing—to buy a donut.”
The sketch pulled tens of millions of views across platforms. And Vance? He panicked.
The eyeliner obsession
Kimmel didn’t stop at the donut shop. He went after the one thing that seemed to make Vance even more furious than policy critiques—his appearance.
Specifically:
Does JD Vance wear eyeliner?
It started as a joke. Then reporters asked him about it. Then Vance addressed it angrily on the campaign trail. Then makeup artists weighed in. Then memes exploded showing “Vice President Maybelline” next to mascara ads.
Every time Vance denied it, he proved Kimmel right: he was rattled.
September 2025: When Trump’s administration tried to silence Jimmy Kimmel
When the Trump–Vance administration attempted to push Jimmy Kimmel off certain stations, Vance tried to laugh it off:
“To the extent he’s not on air, it’s because he’s not funny.”
Bad move.
Kimmel fired back immediately:
“My ratings? Last time I checked, your ratings are somewhere between a hair in your salad and chlamydia.”
The audience roared.
And Vance’s nightmare got worse.
JD Vance’s gaslighting attempt
Vice President Vance then tried to rewrite history, claiming:
“Nothing happened to Jimmy Kimmel. It was just a joke.”
Except the FCC chair appointed by Trump explicitly tried to get Kimmel suspended. Documents leaked. Emails surfaced. The attempt was real.
Kimmel exposed every detail on live TV, proving Vance lied—and making him look both incompetent and terrified.
Why JD Vance absolutely hates Jimmy Kimmel
Because Kimmel doesn’t treat him like a threat.
He treats him like content.
Kimmel turned Vance into something worse than a villain—he turned him into a punchline. A meme. A guy who can’t buy a donut without malfunctioning. A man who becomes unhinged when someone jokes about his eyeliner.
And Vance can’t out-joke him.
He can’t out-talk him.
He can’t out-funny him.
He can’t even out-lie him.
Every comeback Vance attempts becomes further proof that the Vice President has skin thinner than wet tissue paper.
And the meltdown continues…
Because JD Vance’s greatest fear is becoming irrelevant.
Kimmel made him unforgettable—for the wrong reasons.
The more Vance lashes out, the more Kimmel exposes.
The more Vance pretends nothing happened, the more footage Kimmel plays.
The more Vance tries to act tough, the more awkward clips surface.
This isn’t a political feud.
It’s psychological warfare—and Kimmel is winning effortlessly.
And now the one question everyone is asking:
If this is how JD Vance handles late-night jokes…
how is he supposed to handle the country?
