People make same observation about Vice President JD Vance as he's ridiculed during Trump's speech to Congress

Last night saw Donald Trump lay out his vision for America and the rest of the world during his first congressional address of his second presidency.

The president wasted no time in letting people know he was 'just getting started' with his 'bull in a china shop' approach to politics, promised to take Greenland 'one way or another' and even read aloud a letter he'd received from Volodymyr Zelenskyy reaffirming that he was ready to negotiate peace in the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war.

But as the president was busy forging a new destiny for America, viewers only had one topic they wanted to discuss - and that was Vice President JD Vance.

The vice president has had a controversial couple of weeks, being slammed for his 'embarrassing' comment during his and Trump's meeting with Zelenskyy, before uniting the entire UK political spectrum in outrage after claiming the US would provide Ukraine with 'way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years'.

But now people are honing in on a much more pressing matter: JD Vance and his pants (trousers for us Brits).

Since being elected as Vice President, a number of people online have noticed that Vance seems to have a preference for three quarter length trousers.

"Say hello to tiny pants vance," one user wrote on X, alongside a photo of the 40-year-old at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where his trousers appeared to sit just inches below his knees.

According to a quick Google search, Vance stands at 188cm tall (or 6 ft 2 in), which is several inches taller than the average US male height of 5 ft 9 in. So it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that standard size trousers may come up a little short on the politician.

However, this means little in the minds of the internet, who have since wasted no time in roasting the Vice President for his ill-fitting suits, coming up with the hashtag #TinyPantsVance as a fun way of ridiculing him.

"How can anyone take Vance seriously. His trousers are halfway up his legs," one user joked, while others wondered who was responsible for dressing Vance in such poorly fitting clothing.

"If we are talking about fashion choices. In my youth, what Vance is wearing was called Capri shorts," joked a second person, as a third added that he needed to get a pair of 'big-boy-vance pants' in order to be taken seriously.

"People might (might) listen if you got a pair of big-boy-vance pants. A pair that at least break on the foot arch and go mid-heel, not mid calf, just who the hell dresses you," read one particularly scathing comment.

"Our local Goodwill has a better tailor on staff than whoever throwing clothes on you!"

Vance's fashion choices have come under the microscope in recent days after Ukrainian President Zelenskyy was ridiculed for his decision not to wear a suit while his country is at war with neighbouring Russia.

"My second question for President Zelenskyy, do you ever, why don't you wear a suit? Why don't you wear a suit?" pro-Trump journalist Brian Glenn asked, to which the Ukrainian leader replied: "I will wear costume [a Ukrainian translation for suit is kostyum] after this war will finish."
