The Vance campaign has not denied that the man in drag in a viral photo was Donald Trump's 2024 presidential election running mate.

      The eyeliner seems to always have worked on his face. I can see why he stuck with the more minimal makeup for regular events

    JD Vance actually looks kinda hot and fabulous in drag tbh, way better than in his Trumpian getup.

      The guy who’s changed his name 6 times, and no longer goes by a ‘name’, rather it’s a nick, rails against pronouns and choice and preference and self.

      I’ve been like “Who the fuck cares about him cross-dressing?” MAGA will write it off as cosplay/a joke, and I have a hard time thinking any undecideds would be convinced to vote for/against him just for a couple of photos. Then I saw this comment and it all made sense o7 😅

    This must have been earlier at the party, the other photo looks heavier on the five-O-clock shadow, or is it the lighting?

      It was legit the first and only thing that came to mind when I first saw him and subsequently. Its not even like subtle

    Can the VP debate be a RuPaul lip sync for for life challenge instead? I feel like Walz would still kill it

    The most offensive part of it is how crappy he looks. Get out of my face with that Party City wig.

    I won’t go after anyone for dressing however they want. Obsessing over someone else’s choice of clothing is weird.

    I will, however, go after fucking hypocrites for their hypocrisy. And JD… you’re a fucking hypocritical piece of shit.

      You don’t actually believe it do you? I thought it was obvious that these are memes like the couch thing.

        Don’t actually believe what? That while he was a college lib, JD Vance participated in cross-dressing themed parties and had no problem with it? That his whole “LBGT IS SIN” schtick is a grift and/or brainworms?

        Nah, I 100% believe both these pictures are him. Not that I give a fuck at all, if not for the abominable hypocrisy further convincing me that this weirdo isn’t to be trusted because he’s either lying for fortune and power, or he’s fucking broken and a death cult fundie who will do nothing but further sink this nation.

        JD stand for Jorkin Depeanus btw

        Normally, I’d assume it was like the couch thing, but the Trump campaign has very specifically not denied that the photos are real. Since that denial would be incredibly easy if the photos couldn’t be verified, it’s looking more and more like they’re legit.

          Yeah but also if they take time to deny or explain everything, then they come across as defensive and weak. The reality is that in a popularity contest, rumors are effective if you aren’t above them. I think Trump team’s best strategy would be to ignore the salacious news/rumors for a while, then make a dismissive response about the opposition making things up because they are nasty and small minded people. I’m sure that’s what they are doing, but it will be interesting to see. Trump needs to reassert himself as the cool kid somehow and responding and reacting won’t do it.

            What would they need to take time to do? If the photos were AI fakes, it would take about ten seconds to prove it. Then you laugh them off dismissively and move on. This “no comment” stuff is precisely why the photos are gaining credibility.

              Yeah maybe, but every second you spend defending or deflecting that kind of thing is a win for blue team. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. If you are reacting, you are losing. Tbh the pictures could be real too, in which case he definitely can’t talk about it because the opposition would eat him alive, even if the reality were pretty unremarkable.

      Was going to post something similar. The messaging should not be any issues with the cross dressing but only the hypocrisy! I fucking loathe hypocrites. Have some integrity ffs.
