In recent hours, a series of images and videos of Donald Trump have sparked a wave of online speculation. Some unusual bulges in the lower part of the American president’s pants have been enough to ignite a full-blown media controversy, fueled by questions, suspicions, and medical theories. Once again, the internet has turned into a popular tribunal where the health of the Republican leader is scrutinized under a microscope, amid irony and alarmism.
The debate exploded on X after the account PatriotTakes posted several photos showing the politician with abnormal folds and rigid lines on the legs, hidden by his clothing. The post, provocatively asking “What’s going on here?”, went viral within hours. According to some users, these strange shapes would indicate the presence of orthopedic braces for his limbs, possibly used to provide stability after his recent stumble on the Air Force One stairs. Some even went further, speculating about the use of a catheter.

The dispute arises just days after an incident that already caught public attention: Trump was filmed briefly losing his balance while boarding his plane, a scene that immediately reminded many of Joe Biden’s falls, often exploited by his opponents.
However, those aiming to tone down the discussion also spoke up. Several internet users downplayed the issue with a touch of sarcasm, attributing these oddities to simple folds in the fabric and denying any connection to the politician’s health.
According to the medical report released in April, Trump is said to be in good health. Yet, in the age of social media, conjectures often manage to impose themselves as new realities. Thus, amid irony, speculation, and a curiosity bordering on voyeurism, the mystery of the folds in the GOP leader’s trousers continues to keep the web’s attention alive.
