Meme About J.D. Vance Gets Norwegian Banned from U.S.

A Norwegian tourist says he was deported from the U.S. not for drugs, crime, or conspiracy — but for the unforgivable offense of making J.D. Vance bald in a meme.

Mads Mikkelsen, 21, was detained at Newark Airport on June 11 and questioned about drug trafficking, terrorism, and extremism. But what really raised eyebrows, according to Mikkelsen, was a meme on his phone showing Vice President J.D. Vance without hair.

He claims this was the moment his American dream died.

CBP wasn’t amused — or convinced. The agency later called his story “false”, stating that Mikkelsen was denied entry due to drug use, not digital barbershop humor.

Whether it was narcotics or satire that sealed his fate, one thing’s clear: don’t mess with Vance’s hairline.
