It’s his next scheme:

“From the guy who brought you Trump Steaks, Trump University, the Trump Taj Mahal, and Trump the Game, comes ‘Trumpz Pantz’! Yes, the next time you’re speaking to a bunch of sycophantic doofuses, either at a fundraiser or a rally or just as a participant at a boat parade, you’ll want to be wearing these pants …”

From that angle/light, I will reluctantly admit that those look like normal dress pants.

I agree that it is highly unlikely that his slacks are actually on backwards, but I cannot help but smile that all the twitter chatter and whatnot are getting under his skin.

If he were still on twitter, you know every third tweet of his would be about his pants, which would just bring more attention to it. You’ve gotta love the Streisand Effect.

Yeah, probably not backwards but it’s yet another sign he loves wearing badly tailored clothing.

He’s already known for ill fitting clothing in the vain hope it will make him look slimmer. It’s clearly backfiring here.

Why are they so wrinkled? Does it look like he’s lost weight? He looks a little thinner to me.

trump’s solution to the recent waves of cyberattacks is to give up on computers and go back to older ways. “The way you stop it is you go back to a much more old-fashioned form of accounting and things”. This is the kind of out-of-the-box, forward thinking we’re just not getting from the Biden administration:

I’m going with the wet diaper theory.

Seriously, have you see those adult diaper ads that talk about how they are so sleek that they aren’t visible under clothing? That’s only when they’re dry — if you let loose while wearing them you get a “pee bulge” that looks exactly like ….whatever was going on in the front of Trump’s pants.

Remember in 2016, when Hillary was late to the debate stage because she didn’t make it back from the bathroom in time and Trump called it disgusting? Maybe it wasn’t peeing that he was disgusted by, maybe it was the concept of toilets.

Besides, if the question involves Trump, there’s a good chance that the answer involves pee. Seriously, the nexuses (nexi?) between Trump and pee are numerous and disturbing. Pee tapes featuring Russian hookers, nightclub pee shows and my favorite, a straight-up mail order vitamin scan in which the marks were instructed to send Trump their pee along with their money. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

How 'bout I send him just the pee, and he can keep the vitamins?

He wants to go back to the traditional two sets of books.

You need to drink more water; pee should be a pale yellow.
