    The meme is funny but the text is false. He isn’t sitting on anything, it is his jacket. You can see him sit down without any towel on the couch and his jacket spreads to the side ~0:30 into the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKzo0hTJXB4

    EDIT: for the downvoters and people trying to cast doubt, I clipped the moment he sits down

      The Left needs to do better. Honestly I don’t want a Left spreading false information about a political opponent like the Right does. We can do better

      Holy shit, his age is showing. They did a rehearsed countdown 3-2-1 for him to sit down with aid from the guy next to him.

      Now I’m not going to blame an old guy for needing help to sit down. But I am going to blame his voters for electing an elderly person into a position he can obviously not fulfill. What the hell. This is discraceful.

      Are you serious? That’s a JACKET?

      What the fuck?

      Like… What the FUCK?

      I literally don’t believe it, because people with nice jackets don’t look like this.

      Edit: Naw, it’s a towel. Come on… Do you think we’re all fucking stupid?

        Did you watch the video of him sitting down? Yes, it is his ill-fitting jacket that spreads to his sides as he sits down. There is no ambiguity or doubt because the video clearly shows the couch before and while he sits down, and clearly shows the bottom of his jacket spread. He is not sitting on a towel.

        Here, I clipped the exact moment he sits down for you:

        We don’t need to make up things that didn’t happen in order to criticize Trump. There’s plenty of embarrassing, disgraceful, and (most importantly) real things that happen in the video, from needing a 3-2-1 countdown with aid in order to sit down on a couch, to getting talked to like a young child by everyone in the room.

        He’s always worn suits that fit like a fat kid trying on his adult dad’s suit. I can’t guess why, but he does it so consistently it must be on purpose.
