      God, I hate to do this, but I think the "backwards pants" conclusion is wrong. Not sure if it's deliberately manipulated or a compression artifact, but still photos from the event suggest his pants were normal. https://twitter.com/BFriedmanDC/status/1401406435121106947 … pic.twitter.com/S0PwfAP5wZ

      OK, looks like I was premature and probably wrong about that. In any event, people in “my tribe,” do better. Don’t fall for and amplify BS like this.https://twitter.com/DylanReeve/status/1401502594825035776 …

      Alright - my final verdict... It's not deliberately faked. It's a combination of compression, a subtle fly in the pants and low dynamic range in the video recording. Confirmed using a higher quality original source (the local Fox affiliate) and a Getty Images still. pic.twitter.com/rLrE1lDhiM

          Yeah, I saw that, and thought at best it was an artifact - the contrast seemed kind of weird - could’ve been the way it was shot - or was deliberately manipulated. It’s possible there’s still something mildly odd going on, but if it requires alteration to see, it’s bot a big deal

          I wish people would stop it with the “ha ha, wearing a diaper” stuff too. I hate to think of how people who need incontinence pads feel when they see that. (And I don’t care whether or not DT may be incontinent because of drug abuse or any other reason).

          By default, be wary of images on Internet. In 1990s I was a Chief Scientist at SGI, whose gear was used for digital media & for ILM, Pixar, Weta Digital, etc to create realistic images of unreal things. We talked. Even unmanipulated, artifacts abound.https://twitter.com/JohnMashey/status/1252861844978413570 …

          Personally, I'm more bothered by his lacks of intelligence, morality, honesty, humility, caring, empathy, tact, diplomacy, and understanding of science than I am by his pants.

          When something is too good to be true, that’s because it’s often not. Those are some ridiculously wrinkled pants though!
