    The internet is debating whether President Donald Trump is wearing leg braces, a catheter or just pants after the latest viral photos appeared to show lumps.

      Maybe leg braces, but I’m betting it’s catheter bags. Taco Don switched from diapers.

        Sorry about the Twitter link, but here is him stumbling up the stairs. It could be either or both.

          Here’s an alternative frontend:

          It seems his shoe just simply caught the lip of the stairs. I think it’s most likely caused by wearing shoes too big for his feet, since it would hurt his ego to have smaller feet.

            He wears lifts, which is why he’s always hunched forward slightly, too.

            But yeah, it looks like he “just” stumbled a bit- we’ve all been there.

            Still, gonna mock him for it.

        I have also heard the catheter bag explanation, and that seems to make good sense to me.

        I don’t normally post but there’s something uncanny about this picture. Like, could it be a double? Did he speak at all? It only resembles him.

          My bet is on a robot. He did just accuse Biden of being a robot and as we all know every MAGA accusation is a confession.

          It looks like it was skinnied up. It’s an easy photoshop fix. You skinny the background people a little, but take him out and skinny him. It might have been layered against another background too. It looks like the equivalent of too much botox too me, but in reverse.
