though it was not a pronounced fold as would be expected with most suit pants

The other poster's image, on the other hand, did have any resolution when enlarged on my screen. It was totally dark

My point, however, is that SNOPES did NOTHING to counter the allegation. Did not even both to enlarge and show the proof of what they were seeing, nor explain how it could appear invisible with the considerable wrinkling otherwise. So, while I really don't care, what Trump wears or his diapers or anything else, I do expect fact-finders that are in business and collecting our donations to do more than just say "False" (because I say so)..

I literally provided photographic proof. Are you blind or just trolling? Drunken Irishman Jun 2021 #28

Alerting! I told you I could not see a zipper/fly on my screen and You accuse me of trolling?!! hlthe2b Jun 2021 #30

Yes. A photograph is clearly present in my post. Alert away. Drunken Irishman Jun 2021 #33

Not all screens are the same. Yours is too dark to see even a line in his pants suggestive of a fly hlthe2b Jun 2021 #35

I provided a photograph. You called me ridiculous. Drunken Irishman Jun 2021 #37

Your post speaks for itself. Shame on you. hlthe2b Jun 2021 #39

I don't think he uses a tailor. Seriously. Back in early 2016 or late 2015, GQ did a photoshop... Hekate Jun 2021 #23

He also does his own hair and makeup. Drunken Irishman Jun 2021 #41

I know right? msfiddlestix Jun 2021 #44

Agreed--a tailor would cost money and tell him he's wrong Maeve Jun 2021 #45

Although a fly isn't visible in the most-tweeted photo, I doubt his pants are on backwards Ocelot II Jun 2021 #46

Whatever it is, it's pretty bizarre looking. smirkymonkey Jun 2021 #49

This is ridiculous speculation. Ms. Toad Jun 2021 #52
