Donald Trump is getting a lot of attention on Sunday, but for reasons that might seem confusing.
A video from a Trump event in New York on Friday, August 14, has led to a lot of guessing about what might be happening with the president’s backside.
Many left-leaning observers say the video shows Trump with a mysterious bulge or something shaped like a box.
The president was speaking to supporters on Long Island about his administration’s work to fight crime, but the focus from some progressive commentators was on his backside.
Progressive influencer Aaron Rupar wrote, “Seriously, what is going on with Trump’s rear end here?
It looks like he has some sort of contraption back there,” referring to a video shared by outgoing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

George Conway responded with, “It depends,” which some believe is a reference to adult incontinence products.

Czech-American tennis legend Martina Navratilova also joked, “That’s a big diaper, I think:).”
Other left-wing social media figures have also commented on the video, which has become a big topic on X.
I’ve seen this video of Trump walking down the stairs about 400 times and I am convinced there is something SERIOUSLY wrong.
