I wonder if it's more because we frame the question by altering the structure to indicate the appropriate response.

We could just as well ask "you are from where?" Or "your name is what?" That matches the expected sentence structure of a response, and the natural pitch rises.

Maybe we shouldn't be letting investment bankers make/influence foreign policy. Their motives are clear and perhaps a bit out of touch.

I got my pet meds handed to me in a paper bag and somehow managed to give myself a paper cut getting the cat into the car while holding this bag. It was the first paper cut I've had in years, and my reaction was "I wonder if this is still recyclable." Still better than plastic bags, I suppose.

This has been around for ages (in Internet time). And the connection to Vance is one step.

Trump, again, is just the useful idiot.
