Did Donald Trump’s Bodyguard Wear Fake Arms During The Inauguration?
You be the judge on this one.
I have no idea how this slipped through the cracks, but apparently it’s been a big story and conspiracy theory that one of Donald Trump’s bodyguards wore a pair of fake arms during the inauguration last weekend.
According to The Sun, this bodyguard held his hands in this exact position for the entire 2.5 mile walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.
Astonishing footage appeared to show the rather stiff-looking security guard walking down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House without moving his arms once.
Conspiracy theorists suggested he may have worn prosthetics so that his finger was poised ready to pull the trigger on the gun believed to be hidden under his coat.
…The bald bodyguard caught the eye of social media users while accompanying Trump and his wife Melania as they walked to the White House after the ceremony.
Dozens pointed out that the guard held his hands in exactly the same position for several minutes.
This led to speculation that he was concealing a weapon under his jacket and was most likely holding it with his trigger finger ready
Here is a tweet that is going against the idea that the bodyguard was wearing fake arms:
This is absolutely bonkers. The bonkers part is that people believe that the guy isn’t wearing fake arms. During the TWO AND A HALF MILE WALK you’re telling me the man moved his fingers and arm position one time and you’re going to argue that the arms are real?
Let’s assume it takes a regular person around 35–40 minutes to walk 2.5 miles. Let’s then assume it takes the President and a group of others waving at the crowd at least an hour to walk 2.5 miles.
Could you hold your arms in the exact same position for over an hour while also walking? The answer is no, every time.
It’s not a bad thing that he was possibly wearing fake arms by any means if he’s keeping the President safe by doing God knows what under that jacket. It’s just bizarre to think of a man putting on fake arms and walking around with them and it looking that real.
