TP or not TP? That is the question after President Donald Trump boarded Air Force One with something stuck to his shoe.
And to many, it looked like a trail of toilet paper following him from his limo up the stairs and to the door of the aircraft as he left Minneapolis on Thursday:
As if this entire presidency couldn’t be more bizarre...

It’s not clear if it was toilet paper, a napkin or just a sticky and persistent piece of paper, but whatever it was detached itself from his foot at the top of the staircase:

Soon the image of the unexpectedly adorned presidential shoe took off on social media, where many believe it to be TP:
We are all that toilet paper. https://t.co/CvJ50OOMZY

If you haven't laughed yet today, here's a video of President Trump walking up the stairs to Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe. While this isn't grounds for the #25thAmendment, it does fit the pattern of Trump just being a fucking idiot.pic.twitter.com/eYu8X7Uneg

I honestly cannot believe it’s taken this long for Trump to board Air Force One with a full strand of toilet paper trailing from his shoe. pic.twitter.com/hLWrqKqsIK
