While it cannot be confirmed if it was regular paper or toilet paper, netizens on Twitter are having a field day with the news.

A Politico staff member shared the video to the social media platform with the caption: "This video of President Trump with toilet paper on his shoe is 100% real."

She explained that he was boarding Air Force One in Minneapolis earlier today. The short video clip can be seen below.

It's been a busy week for the POTUS, who had to deal with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's case.

It's not the first time the esteemed President suffered an embarrassing moment in public, and many will recall the water bottle incident from November last year.

Trump took a water break twice during a speech he delivered in Asia.

Not only was he mocked for the way he held the bottle, but also because he had poked fun at Republican rival, Mario Rubio.

When Rubio reached for the water bottle during a 2013 speech, Trump called a Rubio a "total choke artist" for needing to quench his thirst.

Trump referred to it again in 2016 and said: "It's Rubio. Unbelievable." After Trump's own water bottle debacle, Rubio lightheartedly said on Twitter:

“Similar, but needs work on his form. Has to be done in one single motion & eyes should never leave the camera. But not bad for his 1st time.”

In other news, a man believed to be Trump's doppelgänger was spotted buying scratch-off lottery tickets. Read the full account here.
