Donald Trump has delivered his second State of the Union address, and he used it to strike a bipartisan tone of unity and progress, just weeks after the longest government shutdown in history.
He also talked about his favourite topics including immigration, the economy, drug prices and national security, while also asking Americans to 'choose greatness'.
However, all anyone on Twitter wanted to talk about was his crooked tie that took a turn to the left, as it was tucked under his jacket.
People on Twitter found the whole thing, well, very distracting...

I'm sure Trump will be pleased when he rewatches his intro later and notices his tie.— Oliver Darcy (@Oliver Darcy) 1549418814
Trump's tie appears to be very, very crooked...— Gabby Orr (@Gabby Orr) 1549418766
Is the left of centre tilt a secret message?
Sartorial note. Trump's tie is askew. It is tilted left. Is that a hidden message?— Sheryl Gay Stolberg (@Sheryl Gay Stolberg) 1549418807
President Trump’s tie leaning right of center -> https://t.co/uH0hOOykDt— Elyse PG (@Elyse PG) 1549418965
Or a sartorial hat-tip to high-end couture?
We took an ad out and it's Trump's tie. https://t.co/dKw93n7rck— Crooked Media (@Crooked Media) 1549419334
Others ran with the 'crooked' jokes.

While some found the whole thing hilarious.
RT if you can't stop looking at Trump's horribly crooked tie #SOTU https://t.co/eVGfpnKTw8— Kat Bee (@Kat Bee) 1549419002
Is it a synecdoche for his entire presidency?

Wow Trump's tie tonight is almost as crooked as his administration #SOTU— Erica Sackin (@Erica Sackin) 1549418841
I know I'll have more important policy points on #SOTU to make in a second but: TRUMP'S ASKEW TIE IS OUR NATION RIGHT NOW.— Sally Kohn (@Sally Kohn) 1549418945
Interestingly enough, Trump's own line of ties was manufactured in China. Make America Great Again, right?
