    I don’t get what that means. Is it supposed to be an insult? I don’t know of “DJ” being an insult. Also, it could be confusing with the president being D. J. Trump.

      DJ is not an insult per se, of course. But calling Vance a DJ is surely an insult, as you don’t get him seriously, and mocking him instead.

      I have never heard anyone calling Trump a DJ, but yes, makes sense, I guess. I’ve heard him being called an orange ape or monkey though. It seems, it differs from culture to culture.

        D. J. are Trump’s first two initials. It’s not calling him a “disk jockey”. It’s literally from his name.
