In one of his first public appearances since leaving office in January,Donald Trumpmade 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 debunkedthis, however.
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.
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.”
Trumpdelivered a speechon 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 PresidentJoe 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 alsoflirted with the notionof 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.”
