Twitter Was Distracted By Trump's Super Long Necktie Last Night

If there was a tie last night, it was under Donald Trump's chin.

Twitter Was Distracted By Trump's Super Long Necktie Last Night

Though the polls haven’t officially declared a winner of the second presidential debate, one thing can’t be disputed: There was a huge tie ― the bright red thing dangling under Donald Trump’s chin.

Trump’s necktie is infamous for being ridiculously long ― GQ called this the one style rule you could actually learn from Trump: “The tip of a man’s tie should fall right in the middle of his waistband or his belt,” they said, but “Trump’s looks like it falls four inches below that.”

Twitter noticed this during the debate, put his tie on blast, and had some important theories:

Trump is secretly fact-checking himself:

Pinocchio plot twist: every time Trump lies his necktie gets longer. #debate

Or he just doesn’t know how to tie a tie:

Who tied Trump's necktie? Way, way too long. Tip of the tie should be at your belt buckle #debate

Maybe he just wants to jump rope:

I'd like to report that Donald Trump's necktie is long enough to play double dutch with. #Muslimsreportstuff

Or he’s hungover:

Trump is sporting a fetching "tie hanging out the bottom of his jacket like a hungover limo driver" look. #debates

His feet were cold:

Where in the hell-fuck do you buy a tie long enough to keep your feet warm? #debate

Or he’s going for the pity vote:

Trump's 34-foot long red tie makes me feel so sad for him. #debate

Or maybe it’s a diversion tactic:
