Claim: A popular Facebook page, WeBlog232, posted a claim, alleging that President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order to ban men from wearing skinny jeans in the United States.
Verdict: False! There is no evidence that President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order to ban men from wearing skinny jeans in the U.S. Also, the claim is not found among the list of Executive Orders signed by President Trump since assuming office in January 2025.
Full Text
President Donald Trump was historically re-elected to office after winning over his primary opponent, Kamala Harris, in 2024. Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on the 20th January, 2025.
President Trump signed 26 Executive Orders during his first month in office after his inauguration. He has signed over 100 Executive Orders since assuming office for the second time.
However, a Sierra Leonean page, WeBlog232, claimed that President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order banning men from wearing skinny jeans in the U.S.
Part of the post reads: “Trump signs an Executive Order demanding that grown men no longer wear skinny jeans.”
As of June 3, 2025, when Weblog232 reported the claim, it had garnered 365 likes, 12 shares, and 20 comments.
A similar claim was found here, here, and here.
The claim induced mixed reactions among social media users. Many believed it was true, while a few did not.
DUBAWA decided to fact-check the claim due to its mandate to amplify truth.
Verification
Using Google keyword search, DUBAWA found that the claim has not been reported by any credible news agency, including The White House, the U.S government’s official website.
Instead, DUBAWA found a video of the claim, which had been initially reported on Instagram four months ago by Barry Hulsey and BESSEH GH.
Our investigation revealed that the video in question was edited from a video posted by The White House four months ago, when Trump was signing executive orders unrelated to the claim made by WeBlog232.
DUBAWA reviewed the Federal Register and found that President Trump has signed 157 executive orders from January 2025 to May 2025, but found no evidence supporting the claim made by WeBlog232.
Conclusion
Our investigation found that President Trump has signed 157 Executive Orders, but the claim that he has signed an order to ban men from wearing skinny jeans is not one of them.
