Menswear feud turns ugly: JD Vance threatens deportation after being mocked by viral style critic
JD Vance, Vice President of the U.S., is angry at a Twitter fashion critic who made fun of his clothes. The fashion critic is Derek Guy, also known as 'Menswear Guy' on Twitter. He's famous for roasting politicians' bad fashion, especially Republicans like Vance, as per reports.
On Sunday, Derek Guy posted on X that he is an undocumented immigrant who came to the U.S. from Vietnam as a baby. He said growing up without legal papers made life scary and full of stress. He also said it affected his chances in school, work, and life in general. Guy shared this to help break the stereotype that all undocumented people are criminals or gang members. He said most are normal people, like your neighbors, according to The Daily Beast report.
JD Vance, fashion guy feud
A random user on Twitter posted, "JD Vance I know you're reading this and you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever," suggesting deporting Guy. JD Vance responded by posting a GIF of Jack Nicholson with a creepy smile, nodding 'yes,' which looked like a silent threat to deport Guy, as stated in the reports.
Even if it was a joke, the threat feels real, especially since the current administration is increasing arrests of undocumented immigrants, not just those with criminal records. Derek Guy clapped back at Vance on Twitter by saying, 'I think I can outrun you in these clothes,' and posted photos of Vance's tight suit and high socks at CPAC, as mentioned by The Daily Beast.
In another tweet, Guy said, "You're tweeting for likes. I'm tweeting to be mentioned in the National Archives," showing he's taking the moment seriously and historically. Guy also joked about where to find him, saying, 'Here is my house,' and posted a photo of Men's Wearhouse, a popular suit store, as per reports.

This weird feud started because Guy has mocked JD Vance's fashion many times in the past, like bad ties and badly fitting suits. Even though JD Vance used to say only violent criminals should be deported, his tweet shows he might be okay with targeting critics too, as per The Daily Beast report.
