Donald Trump posted a meme comparing Barack Obama to OJ Simpson – but something else about the picture distracted people.
It’s a photoshopped version of the iconic image of OJ Simpson driving his white Bronco, with a squad of police cars in pursuit.
In Trump’s version, OJ is replaced by Obama, with the drivers of two police cars behind replaced by Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
But after the US President posted the image on his Truth Social website, people started to notice Vance looked unusual.
Closer inspection reveals Vance’s face is in fact a meme of the Vice President, altered to make his face wider and with long hair.

When this was pointed out on Twitter, Vance responded with a “laugh” emoji.
Last week, Trump posted an AI generated video depicting President Obama being arrested in the Oval Office by FBI agents while Trump watches.
Trump posted the image from his Turnberry resort in Scotland, where he is enjoying a weekend of golfing – with a huge police presence to protect him, paid for by UK taxpayers.
But he’s still facing questions about his links to dead paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – and has been pulling out all the stops to try get people to talk about literally anything else.
Did you notice JD Vance looked unusual?
One of the things he’s brought up that he wishes people were talking about is a new conspiracy theory, claiming President Obama and his senior team used false intelligence to suggest Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win.

The claims are nonsense, and are not backed up by the reams of documents they have presented as evidence.
Yet, the President has continued the attacks on his predecessor, even threatening to have him prosecuted.
Earlier, as reporters shouted questions about his friendship with Epstein over the fence at his golf course, his entourage played loud music – including Memory from the musical Cats and Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel.
