VP Vance: Vacation Overlord of the Free World?
Forget diplomacy — JD Vance is out here collecting passport stamps like they’re campaign endorsements, and the internet is absolutely feral about it. The Vice President’s travel schedule is starting to look less like a statesman’s duty roster and more like a travel influencer’s bucket list.
Since taking office, Vance and his family have managed to hit an eyebrow-raising list of “fact-finding missions” that suspiciously double as luxury getaways:
1. Greenland – Arctic vistas, climate optics, and the perfect parka selfie.
2. Vermont Ski Trip – Sweater-weather photo ops straight out of a Ralph Lauren ad.
3. Rome & Vatican City – Diplomatic gelato and papal photo backdrops.
4. India – Taj Mahal selfies with “global outreach” hashtags.
5. Disneyland – Because nothing says “public service” like churros and roller coasters.
6. Nantucket – Kennedy cosplay with a Secret Service escort.
7. Ohio Kayaking – Token “I still love the heartland” content.
8. Cotswolds, UK – Tea, scones, and a security footprint bigger than the town’s population.
**The UK Trip That Broke the Internet**
It was the Cotswolds stop that really sent the roast into overdrive. Locals were reportedly ticked off over blocked roads, no-fly zones for drones, and security cordons — one of which apparently disrupted Jeremy Clarkson’s drone-filmed TV show. Protesters rolled a mobile ad van through town plastered with a chubby-faced VP meme, while a “Dance Against Vance” flash-mob-style rally popped up for good measure.
Even The Guardian got in on the shade, with columnist Marina Hyde musing whether Vance had mistaken the vice presidency for “the vacation presidency.”
**Meanwhile, Back in America…**
On X, TikTok, and Reddit, users are gleefully keeping a “JD Vance Vacation Tracker,” posting split-screen memes of his latest destination next to potholes and crumbling infrastructure in Ohio. Sure, politicians travel — but Vance’s wanderlust has become a running joke.
