The man walked past all of Congress and nobody told him his tie is messed up. That's a sign they don't love you. #SOTU

Incredibly enough, this is not the first time that Donald Trump's signature red tie has managed to make news. In 2017, Twitter had a great time poking fun of it after discovering that he used sticky tape to hold his tie together.

Trump uses sticky tape to hold his tie down. If that alone isn't grounds for impeachment then what has become of America? pic.twitter.com/yCXD8vg386

At this State of the Union address, the POTUS spoke to a joint session of the US Congress over his demands that Democrats end their opposition to funding a US-Mexico border wall. During his 82-minute speech, he outlined his political priorities and called illegal immigration "an urgent national crisis".
