Trump mocks JD Vance with unflattering meme igniting speculations of their rift; ‘Fat face treatment'
Vance has long, curly hair, pink cheeks, and a plump face in the picture. It has become a famous meme mocking Vance following his turbulent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In a Truth Social post, Trump shared the picture that shows him and Vance in police cars pursuing former President Barack Obama, who is operating a white Ford Bronco, emulating the 1994 O.J. Simpson car chase.
Netizens react to Vance's photoshopped face
Meanwhile, several people reacted in the comment section as Vance's photoshopped face was used.
'They used the fat face JD Vance meme for his picture,' one X user commented. 'They used Obama's real one, but JD got the fat face treatment. Trump hates that man.'
'Interesting choice to pick that image of JD Vance,' a second user said. 'I wonder how JD feels about that choice of his image?' the third person asked.
Trump's attacks on Barack Obama
Vance reposted the photograph on his X account using crying emoji.
This comes days after Trump posted another piece of distorted media, an AI-generated clip showing Obama being detained by FBI agents in the Oval Office.
At the start of the video, Obama asserted that 'especially the President is above the law'. A number of American leaders are then shown saying, 'no one is above the law.'

The clip then shifted to an artificial intelligence (AI)-produced image of Obama, being handcuffed by two FBI officers in the same office where he had previously served as president. Trump is pictured grinning while seated during the 'arrest.'
The phony video concluded with Obama dressed in the orange jumpsuit of the prison.
The release of these altered photos and films coincides with a rise in political unrest. Trump recently charged Obama of 'treason', claiming that he conspired to undermine his first term in office by associating him with purported Russian election meddling.
'They tried to steal the election,' Trump declared at the White House, accusing Obama of attempting to sabotage his triumph over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

India sets sail for Arctic waters with Russian partnership
Maritime transport is the backbone of international trade and the global economy. Over 80% of the volume of international trade is carried by sea, and the percentage is even higher for most developing countries. The ever-increasing volume of global maritime trade and the related increased global competition that can have a significant impact on the stability of maritime transportation demonstrate a reasonable need to improve the global transportation security. One of the most relevant ways to achieve these goals is to develop additional routes for the transit of goods. Indian Maritime(HT_PRINT) Countries worldwide are currently exploring alternative routes to supplement traditional shipping corridors and stabilize global supply chains. Recognising these trends, India, a nation reliant on maritime transportation due to its geographical location, has begun to actively pursue opportunities in Arctic shipping. According to the ministry of commerce and industry, in 2024, the volume of trade between Russia and India exceeded a record $70.6 billion, which is 9.2% higher than in 2023. Specifically, India imports unique crude oil blends from Arctic fields such as ARCO and Novy Port, diversifying its energy sources and reinforcing national energy security. The Northern Sea Route is of key importance to India's steadily growing economy. The development of this promising area of cooperation between the two countries has already received an impetus in the form of an initiative to create a sea corridor from the Indian port of Chennai to Vladivostok and back. The logical continuation of the initiative will be its interlinking with projects on the development of transit container transportation along the Northern Sea Route, implemented by Rosatom State Corporation with the active support of the State. The addition of India's key companies in maritime transportation and port operations will give a strong impetus to the project and allow India to develop existing as well as gain unique competencies to operate and maintain the Arctic Sea Container Line. This momentum also was further solidified in 2024 when India and Russia jointly established a working group focused explicitly on cooperation on the Northern Sea Route. Their collaboration includes initiatives to improve navigation safety, the possibility of training Indian sailors in polar navigation and the creation of joint projects in the field of Arctic shipbuilding. The Northern Sea Route is Russia's national transportation link in the Arctic which represents a compelling opportunity, offering substantial reductions in the transit distance between Europe and Asia—shortening the conventional 21,000 km journey to approximately 13,000 km. The first reference to the Northern Sea Route dates back to 1525, when the Russian envoy Dmitry Gerasimov came up with an idea of a shipping route through the Arctic Ocean. This proposal paved the way for maritime shipping between Russia and China and marked the start of Russia's endeavour to develop the Northern Sea Route, which celebrates its 500th anniversary in 2025. The route is extremely important for ensuring further development of the economy being the element of the creation of Russia's unified logistical space stretching from Murmansk to Vladivostok, uniting waters from Russia's western maritime border to the borders of the Asia-Pacific region. By shortening travel distances, the NSR supports global efforts toward decarbonising maritime logistics, contributing positively to environmental sustainability including through the use of the nuclear icebreakers, which are virtually no carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. It is important to note that Russia is the only country in the world with a nuclear-powered icebreaker fleet. The fleet is operated by Atomflot, an enterprise of Rosatom State Corporation. Today, the Russian nuclear icebreaker fleet has taken on and multiplied all the advantages of the world's first nuclear icebreaker. Such infrastructure not only ensures safe maritime transit but aligns perfectly with global goals aimed at reducing environmental impact and enhancing sustainability in shipping. India has long understood the importance of its participation in Arctic projects and has confirmed its interest in cooperation in the region. According to India's strategic planning documents, including the country's vision in the context of participation in global maritime trade, India is analysing both current and possible future trends in global maritime trade to formulate objectives and guidelines for the present including in the Arctic. India's Arctic Policy (2022) document explicitly recognises the importance of NSR. The cargo traffic along the NSR is growing rapidly as well. Since 2018, when Rosatom took over the responsibility for operating the NSR infrastructure, the NSR cargo traffic has more than tripled reaching a new record in 2024 with approximately 37.9 million tonnes of cargo shipped along the route. This exceeds the previous maximum by 1.6 million tonnes. The volume of transit cargo exceeded three million tonnes. The increasing activity in the Arctic region underscores the importance of balancing economic gains with environmental stewardship. Furthering its commitment, India announced its Arctic Policy, clearly defining objectives related to climate research, infrastructure development, and international cooperation. India's ongoing scientific presence, particularly through the Himadri research station established in Svalbard in 2008, has significantly advanced global understanding of Arctic weather patterns, ocean chemistry, and biodiversity. Another important project in this context is the comprehensive environmental monitoring program initiated by Rosatom in 2021. The project uses advanced technologies to monitor the Arctic's marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Working with international experts, including from India, the programme systematically collects and analyses data through marine sampling, atmospheric sampling, and satellite monitoring. This holistic approach ensures that the Arctic is developed responsibly. Thе burgeoning partnership underscores India's role in promoting sustainable development. As global trade continues to expand, India's active involvement in Arctic maritime logistics supported by robust collaboration with Russia exemplifies a forward-looking approach, one that harmonises economic ambitions with global responsibility, paving the way for sustainable and resilient international trade networks.
