People have wild theory after JD Vance’s wife Usha announces pregnancy

So what does a baby announcement have to do with a Halloween outfit?

Back in 2025, after becoming the subject of viral memes, Vance leaned into the joke for Halloween. The memes stemmed from a tense February meeting between President Donald Trump, Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which Vance pointedly asked Zelenskyy, “Have you said thank you once?”

Soon after, AI-generated images circulated online portraying Vance with exaggerated, curly hair. Rather than ignoring it, he embraced the moment—donning a curly wig for Halloween and posting a TikTok video in which he opened his door and joked, “Happy Halloween, kids… remember, say thank you!” all while the Twilight Zone theme played as he spun dramatically.

Fast-forward to the baby announcement, and amateur internet detectives began counting backward. With a late-July due date, some concluded—half-seriously—that conception might have occurred around the end of October.
