Jake Paul turned his own viral Republican rally mishap into a YMCA joke. In a new Instagram reel, the influencer/boxer returned in the same beige suit he wore at the convention. He turned the underarm marks into a joke while riding across a ski slope. The post followed his sweaty appearance with Donald Trump in Kentucky last week. It also tied the moment back to the online mockery about the armpit stains, recalling his W hygiene brand, which grew from his discomfort with sweating as per the younger Paul brother.
Jake Paul embraces sweaty armpit stains after Donald Trump rally in YMCA video
In a recent Instagram clip, Jake Paul first stood on the snow with both arms raised and dancing to “Y.M.C.A.” The dark patches beneath his jacket stood out right away. Then, he rode downhill on a snowboard in the suit, shirt, tie, and boots. He also wore oversized goggles.
After that, Paul kept gliding and dancing against the mountain backdrop while the tune played. His loosened tie swung across his shirt, which kept the gag looking even messier. Finally, the reel ended with him collapsed on the slope, looking exhausted. He said, “I am f***ing tired.” The caption also made the bit obvious: “Yall are hating but im hotter than yall.”
Earlier, Donald Trump brought Paul onstage at a rally in Hebron, Kentucky, and made his political prediction public. As per Fox News, the president said that the YouTuber would be “running for political office” in the future. He then added, “You have my complete and total endorsement.” Trump also told the crowd, “This guy has guts.”
In turn, Paul praised him and said, “What Mr. Trump has taught me is courage.” He added, “We never back down from a fight,” before telling locals, “You guys have that fight. You guys have that swag.” At the same stop, the boxer said he grew up only a few hours away. He also called for more factories nationwide.
The Kentucky appearance quickly became a meme because the blazer looked soaked under the arms. Still, the joke landed well among netizens because sweating was already part of Paul’s public story. As per PR Newswire, when he launched W in 2024, he said, “Sweating has been a longtime insecurity of mine.” He also explained, “I needed a product that could keep up with my lifestyle… That’s why I started W… to create products for guys that will boost their confidence and smell amazing.”
