Trump’s Crooked Tie Takes Over State of the Union Twitter

Donald Trump‘s 2019 State of the Union got off to a crooked start when Trump took to the podium with his necktie askew, and Twitter went wild.

It didn’t take long for all of political Twitter to notice that Trump’s tie was tucked slightly to the left, a distraction that many users found, well, distracting:

Someone needs to adjust Trump’s crooked tie or it will ruin my evening.

Someone really do fix Trump’s tie. please.

Some wondered how Trump would deal with the aftermath of the tie debacle:

I’m sure Trump will be pleased when he rewatches his intro later and notices his tie.

I can’t stop giggling over how PISSED Trump is going to be when he sees his tie was askew for the ENTIRE #SOTU

There’s nothing that could piss Trump off more than his tie looking stupid at the State of the Union.

Others had jokes:

is Trump’s tie askew?

or is it…a sQAnon?

Trump’s tie tucked to his side like he’s going to eat pizza with a knife and fork again

I know I’ll have more important policy points on #SOTU to make in a second but:

TRUMP’S ASKEW TIE IS OUR NATION RIGHT NOW.

It continues to this very minute. Fun fact: Trump’s own line of neckties was made in China.
