Did you hear the one about how Usha Vance is a sociopathic Clinton supporter who's gonna
be deported next week? Okay, so that's obviously nonsense, but it's exactly the kind of stuff
the rumor mill has been churning up. To many people, Usha Vance is something of an enigma. Of course, a little mystery isn't
always a bad thing, but it can leave you open to rumor and hearsay. And some of the stuff
that's been said about Usha is downright scandalous. Take, for example, the claim made by one former
friend that the second lady is a sociopath. We all go a little mad sometimes
Speaking to The Cut, this unnamed source complained that Usha had never been particularly
open around them. They said, It didn't seem like things got to her that much, and she was never very vulnerable. I
kind of wonder if she's a sociopath. For the record, nobody else has repeated
this suggestion since, probably because it's untrue, but also likely because it's not totally
cool to make assumptions about people's mental health. Another especially scandalous rumor
about Usha Vance is the idea that if her husband's immigration policies come to fruition
she might find herself in trouble with the law. Because Usha's parents were born in India
some have claimed she might not actually qualify for U.S. citizenship under the new rules
As one online meme claimed, J.D. Vance's wife Usha Vance will have her citizenship revoked if
Trump signs his executive order banning birthright citizenship. Her parents were not U.S. citizens at
the time of her birth. Awkward. Reuters quickly debunked this theory in no uncertain terms
pointing out that it's irrelevant whether Usha's parents were American citizens before she was born
as the intended legislation will only target children born after it comes into effect
Snopes backed that up, noting that as long as the bill remained unchanged, Usha wouldn't be affected by it in any way. That said, you do have to wonder what Usha thinks of
the Trump administration immigration policies Prior to jumping on the Trump train J himself had been critical of MAGA on the matter Some may remember that back in 2016 J took to social media to declare makes people I care about afraid Immigrants Muslims etc Because of this
I find him reprehensible." The post has since been deleted, of course
Another rumor swirling around the second lady is one that might not necessarily be so far-fetched
This is the claim that Usha was once a Hillary Clinton supporter — a tidbit of information
that reportedly came from J.D. himself. Back in 2024, an insider told The Daily Beast that JD had told them, back in 2016, that
Usha was considering voting for Clinton over Trump. Naturally, this rumor prompted people to wonder about Usha's political views
One person who claimed to have known her during her time at Cambridge University spoke to
The Telegraph. They doubled down on the claims that she had previously been a liberal
The source said, I certainly don't remember any indication whatsoever that she harbored any far-right political views
or would tolerate somebody who did. Interestingly, whenever Usha speaks about her husband's role as Donald Trump's VP
she often gushes about how much she believes in J.D., rather than waxing lyrical about the grand old party itself
Then again, another insider once told the Daily Mail that neither Usha nor her parents
had ever been particularly forthcoming when it came to their political beliefs. So maybe she just likes to keep her cards close to the chest
If Usha is a closeted liberal, it might go some way to explaining our final rumor
that the second lady wasn't too keen on her husband becoming vice president in the first
place. Who can forget that blip of tension in the Vance's Fox & Friends pre-election interview
I'm not raring to change anything about our lives right now. So maybe it's no surprise that rumors soon began to suggest that Usha felt as though she was being
forced into her new role. This one was played down from some quarters too, however. Speaking
to the Daily Beast, a friend of Usha said, She's close with her family. If she didn't want to be doing this, her out is very easy
It's hard for me to imagine her being trapped.
