Ty Cobb Ditches White House And All Twitter Cares About Is His Mustache

David Moye

It’s a hair-raising theory, but some people are suggesting that a so-called mustache battle is behind the departure of Donald Trump’s lawyer Ty Cobb.

The official word is that Cobb simply wants to retire, but moments after Wednesday’s announcement, Twitter users took to the platform to suggest Cobb’s real reason for leaving was right under his nose.

The rumor started to snowball. Some suggested Bolton’s stache pushed out Cobb’s.

Others assumed Cobb’s mustache was the one who decided to leave.

Some just lamented the departure of Cobb and his incredible facial hair.
