In one of his first public appearances since leaving office in January, Donald Trump made headlines this weekend — but not just for what he said.
Instead, many of his social media critics went wild over his pants, which were noticeably wrinkled and, some suggested, worn backward.

Fact-checking website Snopes, reviewing 90 minutes of footage from the event, soon debunked this, however.
"Snopes looked through photographs taken at the event and published by the visual media company Getty Images that clearly show the former president on stage wearing pants with a zipper in the front," the website wrote, adding, "a video posted by C-SPAN of the 90-minute speech also showed the former president wearing pants the right way."
Still, that didn't stop Twitter users from criticizing the trousers of the famously image conscious 74-year-old, who relished criticizing the appearance of others before being booted from social media earlier this year.
"I would like to see the expression on Trump's face when his people tell him that the most popular response to his speech was amusement at his bunched, wrinkled pants," one user wrote.
"I had to see what the hype was with Trump's pants last night and I was not disappointed. Make wrinkled palazzo pants great again," wrote another.
Others called attention to a 2017 tell-all book by former Trump aides which claimed that, during the 2016 campaign for president, a former spokeswoman was once berated by the then-candidate for forgetting a machine she used to steam his pants while he wore them.
That book — written by Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie — alleged that Hope Hicks was responsible for ensuring Trump's suits were pressed when they were on his plane.
From the book: "'Get the machine!' And Hope would take out the steamer and start steaming Mr. Trump's suit, while he was wearing it! She'd steam the jacket first and then sit in a chair in front of him and steam his pants."

Trump delivered a speech on Saturday at the North Carolina state Republican convention, in what is expected to be the first of a string of public events.
He used the meandering remarks to criticize President Joe Biden's first six months in office and to again tout false claims that the 2020 election was a "hoax."
As he has in the past, Trump also flirted with the notion of running for office again, saying, "We're going to win North Carolina's all important U.S. Senate race, and we're going to lay the groundwork for making sure that Republicans once again carry the great state of North Carolina, in a number, a year, that I very much look forward to: 2024."

Apparently Trump also has a front butt. Who knew?
what, no one ever noticed he's always been twice the asshole of most...?
trumpturd is an asshole from the top of his ridiculous combover to the bottoms of his little feet (with lifts)
Apparently you would of dismissed Winston Churchill.
Brezhnev wore illfitted suits. Churchill didn't.
meh, that's just lindsey graham's head...
He always looks like a fucking slob.
Even large people can look good if they have the money. He supposedly has the money. Why doesn't he get his suits tailored? He looks like he buys off the rack at Men's Warehouse
My thoughts too TG - with all of his alleged money - he could look good. Well, never in my eyes would that POS look good. But you know what I mean.
He could look like something other than an unmade bed.
I knew what you meant.
He looks like my bed after a night of sweaty tossing and turning. . . . .
Yeah, his face.
It's not his pants that are misshapen, it's his body.
He's got quite the FUPA !
Hard to fit a diaper to certain body types.
LMAO, perfect.
Donald's pants put him in them backwards.
How did Beavis and Butthead get into that bottom photo?
Those two guys would more likely wear the pants backward over their heads.
Is this one of those who wore it better photos?
It’s just a poorly fitted diaper.
Don't matter whether 'the Trump' had his pants on at all. The MAGA bots loved it and if I'm not mistaken------wasn't Melania there too?
He looks like those high school boys who stuff socks down there thinking that girls will be impressed.
The only thing worse than the fact that this silliness gets passed around to begin with, is the fact that Snopes went to the trouble to “fact check” it.
Ironic Trump supporters whining about comments on Trump's pants. Remember when they were aghast at Michelle Obama wearing a sleeveless dress, or President Obama wearing a tan suit, or laughing about his mom jeans?
They don't remember because if they did they would look like total hypocrites.
It doesn't matter what trumpturd wears, he looks like shit.
President Biden couldn't look bad if he tried!
Biden - Dapper
Trump - Diaper
The Diaper Don!
is Donald trump still president?
Yet pretty much everyday there is at least one seed here obsessing about him. The amount of real estate he owns in progressives heads is staggering.
That's because he won't let go. He's clinging to the presidency like a fucking lunatic. No other former president in history has exhibited such absurd behavior, he's like a two year old that dropped his ice cream cone.
The idiot is still saying he'll be reinstated in August and they say we're obsessed with the big fat pig and yet they still find the need to trumpsplain everything!!!!!!!
About the same amount of real estate President Obama and Hillary owns in conservative heads...and it has been going on for decades with conservatives.
Does he continue to push the lie he won? YES
Do most gqp push the lie he won? YES
Do most republicans believe he won? YES
Do MOST republicans pay fealty to Trump in words and deeds? YES
Do republicans keep doing what Trump tells them to? YES
If you don't like being reminded of Trump's fuckery, stop all of the above.
Did you see Trump's rambling closed eyed rager at the My Pillow Guy's Trump Rally? He is deranged!
That was creepy ! He was closed eyed and hunched forward and clasping his arms or gesturing with those little stubby hands. Very weird.
We're not obsessed over trumpturd. trumpturd is obsessed with trumpturd. We will talk about trumpturd until he and his insurrectionist mob are behind bars.
Is trmp getting fatter?
"I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing cocaine"
I'll admit the picture is photoshopped. But...it's not a big secret that Donny wears a diaper.
We know that Trump ha diarrhea of the mouth, and that might be true of the other end as well, so a diaper would surely be needed.
I read where The My Pillow CEO said that Trump was the first President he met that was not in it for his ego. I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I read it. As there was no other reason why Trump ran for President other than for his ego. It sure as hell wasn't because he wanted to do something great for America and its people. And his history will confirm that.
And I have to wonder just how many US Presidents the pillow idiot has met before Trump.
