While the internet poked fun at the former president for his sartorial choices, fact-checking site Snopes came out to say that no, the former president did not have his pants on backwards. "You asked, so we watched the 90-minute speech," the site announced. Snopes writer Madison Dapcevich said that while it appeared to social media that Trump's trousers didn't have a fly, professionally taken images show that, in fact, he did. Dapcevich also noted that a "video posted by C-SPAN of the 90-minute speech also showed the former president wearing pants the right way. As such, we rate this claim as 'False.'"
Still, the internet wasn't ready to give up. One social media user responded to Snope's fact check by tweeting: "I believe we can all agree that regardless of whether Trump was wearing his pants backwards or not, we can all agree that there was something not right about his pants. They're wrinkled in all the wrong places, and his standing like a cro-magnon almost gives me vertigo."
Another decided to give credit where credit was due: "If you ever think your life is unbearable, just remember someone employed by Snopes had to go back and research whether former President Trump actually had his pants on backwards."
