Fox News viewers fume 'that's just weird' as Donald Trump sits on towel for TV appearance

President Donald Trump appeared on Fox News for a live TV interview, but viewers were left baffled after spotting what appeared to be a dark towel under him on the white couch

Fox News viewers were left puzzled following Donald Trump's appearance during a live television interview, with many struggling to believe what they were witnessing.

Trump appeared to be seated on a black or navy blue towel — or had some object placed beneath him — while positioned on a white couch during the live broadcast. The striking contrast between the sofa's light tone and the mysterious "towel" was quickly noticed by sharp-eyed viewers and comes amid shocking evidence that he may have 'pooped himself'.

The 80-year-old, who has been the focus of considerable health speculation since beginning his second term in office, appeared to be in good form as he spoke with a Fox panel, yet many viewers found themselves fixating on his seating arrangement rather than the actual interview topic. While the "towel" in question could conceivably be his coattails, screenshots from the broadcast went viral as viewers voiced their opinions. One viewer posted on Threads, "Why did you put a black towel under Trump? Inquiring minds want to know." It comes as swathes of fed-up supporters walked out of the State Fair while Trump was still speaking, after he made a ludicrous boast.
