X/Twitter users were stunned by Vice President JD Vance’s Thanksgiving post — a parody of Norman Rockwell’s “Free From Want” depicting President-elect Donald Trump as the husband, Vance as the wife, and a county-level electoral map as the turkey.
Former Alaska governor, Sarah Palin set the standard for Thanksgiving mayhem many years ago, but this year the vice president-elect metaphorically told her to “Hold my beer.”
In a Thanksgiving twist that has set social media ablaze, Trump and Vance are depicted in a parody image that reimagines Norman Rockwell’s iconic “Freedom from Want” painting. The satirical artwork, shared just as families were sitting down to their Thanksgiving meals, shows Trump as the Dad at the head of the table, standing behind Vance as what one user called a “trad wife.”
Instead of the traditional Thanksgiving turkey, the centerpiece is a detailed map of the U.S., showcasing county-level election results from the 2024 election, where Trump clinched victory.
This provocative image has sparked a firestorm of reactions online, divided mostly along predictable lines. Elon Musk loved it, while others… did not:

Ok @KBAndersen. I checked this one and it’s REAL. Trump’s VP-elect is undeniably a weird-ass bitch. https://t.co/v4DmCjeb0P

JD Vance posting an image of himself as Trump’s wife, and also with a map that doesn’t show people he and Trump won by one of the lowest margins in American history. https://t.co/Spl63RInyA

JD makes me appreciate that I grew up with a father in the house instead of a council of chainsmoking grandmas who made me do fashion shows in the living room https://t.co/pMMNSuHM8f
