After Trump Appears To Wear Pants Backward During Speech, #TrumpPants Trends

Former President Donald Trump gave his first public address since January at the Republican convention in North Carolina on Saturday, but many chose to focus on his pants instead.

The speech, which lasted a total of 90 minutes, covered an array of disjointed topics such a defending Russian President Vladimir Putin and asking for credit for developing the vaccine. He also demanded that China pay reparations following the allegations that COVID-19 was leaked from a lab inside Wuhan, China.

Still, many focused on Trump’s pants when a video surfaced that made it look like the former president had put them on backwards.

Quickly, conservative sources took to Twitter to defend the former president and many users claimed the video was doctored.
