snopes: "No, Trump Did Not Wear His Pants Backwards at Rally"


"The photographs and video above were taken at the 2021 Republican gathering in Greenville, North Carolina, on June 5. 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 pugs would make life sized blow-ups and put them everywhere to make sure everybody would see them.

I had no idea so many here follow his every move as much as his horrid followers do. But the proof is right here in gd each and every day.

Doesn't matter if it isn't what happened. The photo was gross enough to foster the story. I hope it really f***ed with his mind.

This is a subject where one can look at the video and pictures to make their own conclusion

Technically under the rules of evidence, Snopes would not qualify as a expert under the rules of evidence and their opinion would not be admissible in a court of law. They have no special expertise in evaluating the same picture that the rest of us are looking at. Why should anyone care about their opinion?

I just saw the photos for the first time. Even close up I do not see a Zipper placket. Zippers without plackets would be even more visible but I do not know how you could house a zipper in mens pants without a placket and that is something that is always at least a little visible. I do not see one at all.

I understand that can happen during the scuffle when so many are trying to give it a wet, juicy smooch all at once. Shoulda used one of these...
