Social Media Users Are Staring At Donald Trump's Crotch Due To A Hoax

Some on social media are intently and needlessly staring at Donald Trump's crotch after a doctored image of the former President with a large bulge in his lower torso went viral over the last few days.

On Sunday, a tweet from Twitter user @Cirnose showcased what appeared to be a large circular protrusion on Trump's crotch. "WTF is going on," they wrote.

As the photo spread, many responded with familiar gags about Trump. Several joked that it was Trump's diaper or that his weight had given him a FUPA (fatty upper pubic area).

While it's unclear where @Cirnose found the image, The Daily Dot confirmed it was doctored after it spread online.

The original photo was taken during Trump's October 2017 visits to Puerto Rico after a hurricane devastated the region (the visits were also notable for his "paper towel toss" meme)

So no, Trump, at least in this instance, wasn't wearing a diaper or sporting a massive FUPA. As for a 2021 appearance that generated a similar swath of reactions, the jury is still out.
