Fact-checkers Assure Public That Donald Trump Did Not Wear His Pants Backwards In Recent Appearance

It's been a relatively quiet year for Donald Trump-related internet content (at least after January), but that changed over the weekend when the ex-President made a rare post-presidency public appearance at the North Carolina Republican convention and the internet obsessed over his crotch.

Specifically, people obsessed with the fact the crotch of his pants did not show a zipper, suggesting the man had put his pants on backwards that day. Take a look at the evidence yourself:

Holy shit, Trump gave that speech today wearing his pants on backwards. Oh my god. pic.twitter.com/iqMvdY3Fxi

Did Trump not have a single staffer with the guts to tell him that he put his pants on backwards last night? pic.twitter.com/92LPkg6lWz

We asked Donald Trump what the main focus of his NC speech would be. He said, "Depends. But definitely something backward." #Trumppants pic.twitter.com/TJOjwXQ8GP

While Tweeters and the general cohort of Trump critics on Twitter got their yuks at what looked like Trump having a brain fart, Snopes stepped in and clarified that no, Trump's pants weren't on backward. They watched all of Trump's 90-minute appearance to label the claim as "false."

Of course, that did little to deter the general giggling at Trump's appearance, making Twitter feel like 2016-2020 once again.

Guys, Trump wore his pants backward last night to make it easier for the GOP to kiss his ass.

Tonight, Snopes verified that Trump's pants were indeed normal, but that he is a$$ backwards.

Apparently the pants were worn correctly. This fact does raise a question for Trump’s fascist movement. Aren’t there any tailors? The veneration of this lying Orange Schlub by so many elected GOP leaders isn’t going to look great in their permanent records. https://t.co/cGuLB2oEBd
