Internet trolls are now obsessed with a clearly doctored image of President Donald Trump’s ‘clown’ shoes, just days after footage of his legs went viral. 

The photograph was captured in the Oval Office last week as Trump met with Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

But a poorly photoshopped version of the picture has caused an uproar on X, with users now poking fun at president about the peculiar appearance of his shoes.

Some joked that Trump underwent a foot or lower leg amputation, while others suggested he was wearing shoes that are ‘a few sizes too large’ in a bid to make his ‘feet look proportional’ to his body.  

Social media users compared his foot to a ‘clown shoe’ or ‘crumpled up garbage bags’, with one branding them his ‘Louibnotoes’. 

Another quipped that Trump had a footwear malfunction, jokingly saying that ‘his shoes busted and someone used black duct tape to fix them’.

Frustrated users slammed the trolls, alleging that the photo was ‘fake’, ‘digitally manipulated’ and a ‘laughably bad AI rendering of Trump’s shoe’. 

One, seemingly referencing how video of Trump’s leg apparently dragging on the golf course went viral earlier this week, said: ‘Lord you people. That’s what you’re talking about now? Don’t have anything else?’

The obsession over Trump’s shoes comes after social media users launched a myriad of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about the president’s health after he appeared to be limping during his golf outing at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday 

Despite the image being obviously photoshopped, X users were having a field day sharing the shoe picture and their insane theories along with it.

‘Spotted during Friday’s infamous meeting with Zelensky/bullying session: Trump’s shoe, with lift, is also a few sizes too large,’ one tweeted. ‘This is done to make his feet look proportional with his weight/height.’

‘Trump’s ‘special occasion’ Lift Shoes..’ said another, adding: ‘He dressed to fit in with his and Vance’s clown show..’

One user suggested Trump was wearing a ‘prosthetic’. They wrote: ‘I believe that Trump has his right foot/lower leg amputated during those two weeks where he disappeared during his campaign. 

‘Look at this shoe from the Zelensky meeting. That ain’t no normal foot.’

‘His shoes look like Darth Vader,’ one said, while another jokingly asked: ‘Did a cartoon car run over his foot?! I mean that thing looks mangled.’ 

‘His clown shoes,’ echoed another. ‘Where are the cobblers?’

Some users, who seemingly didn’t notice that the photo had been manipulated, baselessly suggested that Trump is battling some sort of health condition that has affected his foot.

Among the suggestions were that he suffered a ‘stroke’ or has ‘diabetes‘ – despite there being no public confirmation of any such issue.

But X users quickly criticized these posters, noting how the version of the photo that they were sharing was ‘not real’.

One even branded it the ‘s****iest AI picture I have ever seen’ and joked the user ‘should have included a Santa Claus hat’. 

DailyMail.com has approached the White House and a Team Trump spokesperson for comment. 

The obsession over Trump’s shoes comes after social media users launched a myriad of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about the president’s health after a video appeared to show him dragging his right leg as he golfed on Sunday.

The now-viral clip was posted by the grounds keeping company that appears to service Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and sparked concern about his wellness – but Team Trump spokesman Steven Chueng furiously shot down suggestions that the president was in health was poor.  

The latest wave of online speculation comes after a video appeared to show Trump dragging his right leg along the golf course at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Sunday 

Trump was seen dragging his leg in January 2024 as he delivered pizza to firefighters before the Iowa caucuses. Experts have now suggested he may be exhibiting a ‘knock knee’ – a condition in which both knees bend inward

A video, captured in February 2024, showed Trump limping as he walked into a room of cheering supporters

Video of Trump ‘dragging his leg’ at a campaign rally went viral in March last year after MAGA critic Ron Filipkowski shared it on X

Trump has seemingly been managing his leg drag for several years now. He made headlines in July 2020 – during his first Oval Office term – for apparently dragging his right leg during a visit to a lab in North Carolina

‘Deranged and morally bankrupt liberals — including corrupt media — have now resorted to complete falsehoods and fabricated lies because they have no shame,’ Cheung told DailyMail.com Monday.

‘Instead, they spend every waking hour of their pathetic lives suffering from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted their brain.’ 

Although it is impossible to diagnose Trump without a thorough examination and access to his medical records, experts have said the president’s wobbly leg could be the result of a range of conditions.

A sports scientist and injury rehabilitation specialist suggested that Trump appears to be exhibiting a ‘knock knee’, a condition in which both knees bend inward. 

But multiple medical doctors claimed Trump’s leg may be indicative of a more serious neuromuscular degenerative issue, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or multiple sclerosis.

Speculation about the president’s leg came just one week after X erupted with a flood of theories about a yellow and purple bruise that was on Trump’s hand during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. 

Last week, social media users expressed concern about President Donald Trump’s health after spotting a large bruise on his right hand. Photos of the bruise emerged after Trump, 78, met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House on February 24, 2025

A White House official said the bruise was from Trump shaking hands with hundreds of people on the campaign trail and in his regular duties. 

But doctors allege that while an ‘aggressive’ handshake could partly be to blame, the bruise could also be from a blood draw or IV infusion poking through weak blood vessels.

Other suggestions included osteoarthritis, an age-related disease that breaks down cartilage and bone in the joints, as it can cause easy bruising or discoloration around affected joints in the hand.

Although the bruise appears alarming, doctors alleged it is ‘unlikely’ that the president has a serious health condition.
