A security expert has shared his very blunt response when asked about one particular detail spotted in Donald Trump’s trousers amid an avalanche of conspiracy theories floating about online.
Earlier this week, the 78-year-old Republican made an appearance at a UFC event in New Jersey following a brief trip to Camp David, a federal government retreat in the wilderness of Maryland.
Trump met with several military leaders over the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act in response to the protests breaking out across Los Angeles after it had emerged that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were carrying out raids in areas of the city with prominent Latino populations.
During the sporting event days later, the President posed for the cameras holding a UFC belt up in the air and, in one photo, a very noticeable bugle could be spotted on his upper leg.

Then, on Monday (10 June), during an appearance Trump made in the rose garden of the White House, another bulge was visible in official press images - this time stemming from down his lower leg.
The images of Trump's leg bulges have sparked a number of theories with some speculating that the father-of-five might be wearing a catheter underneath his clothing.
Others have convinced themselves, however, that he's actually hiding a brace under his clothing, presuming he's sustained a minor muscle injury of some kind.

Some argued there's no need for such speculation at all, claiming the bulge may simply be Trump's trouser leg caught on something
There's even a theory that the bulge could be evidence of 'bullet-proof clothing which security specialist, Will Geddes, has since commented on.
The expert exclusively told Tyla that the reason behind the mysterious leg bulge 'won’t be protection’ and assured pretty confidently that the detail in the photos has nothing to do with security.

Obviously, all theories are simply that - theories - and neither Trump nor the White House have yet to issue an official comment on the matter.
On Monday (9 June), Trump who has previously vowed to launch the 'biggest deportation operation' in US history, as part of a 'complete restoration of America' ordered another 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to deploy to the city following an initial deployment of 2,000 troops, a highly criticised decision which he is now being sued over.
California Governor, Gavin Newsom, has since warned that US Marines 'shouldn't be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfil the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President. This is un-American'.
