The United States of America President Donald Trump garnered laughs online after a video of him boarding the presidential aircraft Air Force One, with what looks like a piece of toilet paper stuck to his left shoe, circulated on social media.
The tissue incident happened on Thursday, Oct. 4, as he was departing Minneapolis to fly to a rally in Rochester, Massachusetts. After exiting his limousine, Trump went up the stairs of the plane with the flapping tissue paper in tow. The paper was only detached when Trump walked inside the presidential aircraft.
“WATCH: President Trump boards Air Force One with what appears to be toilet paper stuck to his shoe,” wrote WSVN-TV writer Joel Franco, who shared the video via Twitter on Thursday.

Many are wondering how come nobody told the President there was a tissue paper stuck to his left shoe.

I wonder how many people saw the toilet paper and snickered, "Don't tell him." pic.twitter.com/FlFNzfWVwr

“Presumably, Trump did not drive himself to Air Force One,” said one Twitter user, Megan Dieterle (@megsdietz). “Presumably, there were various aides and secret service and press people hanging around. And yet no one bothered to tell him about the toilet paper.”

Because nobody cared to tell him about the flapping tissue, many are saying it was a reflection of the amount of respect people around Trump, including his staff, have for him. Some went as far as to say that the President probably has no friends.
I have chased strangers down a hallway to help them get toilet paper off of their shoe. This saga everything you need to know about how little the people surrounding Trump like or respect him. https://t.co/j1hPwLNbON

Even your staff don't care if you have toilet paper to your shoe. pic.twitter.com/w59eXJomer

You are so hated by those around you, you left the bathroom, got in a car and walked up the stairs to the plane and nobody told you you had toilet paper stuck to your shoe. These are people who are paid to notice every detail they choose to let that go. I thank them for that.

Online marketing executive Pesach Lattin (@pacelattin) wondered if Trump was changing diapers in the limousine.
“How does Trump have toilet paper on his foot coming from the Limo to AF1?” asked the netizen. “Is he having his diaper changed in the limo?”

Australian drag satirist Simon “Pauline Pantsdown” Hunt edited the video, adding a toilet flush sound to accompany Trump boarding the plane.

Some are claiming that the tissue paper incident symbolizes Trump’s presidency as well as the constitution of the United States as treated by the Republicans.
As if to symbolise his presidency, here’s video of #Trump boarding Air Force One – with toilet paper on his shoe. Speaks volumes that no one around him said anything.https://t.co/fRPBcVLYyj

Yep – classy as ever. Toilet paper on your shoe. Pretty much sums up what you think about the American people – you don’t care about us – we’re just crap you have to walk over or through to get what you want. All you care about is your ego. pic.twitter.com/D509OYKP4S

That toilet paper on Trump's shoe might as well be our Constitution.
Republicans continue to make a mockery of the very system they're trusted to protect.#Resist

Meanwhile, others were just not surprised anymore at the incident.
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. https://t.co/hLWrqKqsIK

While many are amused by Trump’s most recent faux pas, for Buzzfeed producer Jesse McLaren, Trump ruined bathroom-related jokes.
“Trump boarded Air Force One with toilet paper on his shoe and I didn’t even laugh,” he said. “I’m just numb. He’s so bad he even ruined poop jokes.”

In August, Trump garnered mixed reactions from netizens after photos of him coloring the American flag wrong surfaced and went viral. He also drew massive criticism and ridicule for his Hurricane Florence remark, calling it “one of the wettest from the standpoint of water.” JB
