Delegates are wearing a lot of fun hats at the Republican National Convention. This man, sadly, is not one of them.

Many people were speculating about the identity of this man, spotted behind the Wyoming delegates during the convention, wearing a hat that says DTF (translation: "down to f*ck" according to Urban Dictionary).

The man in question is actually Tony Barbieri, dressed as his character Jake Byrd. Barbieri is a writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live and has been covering Trump news throughout the primaries, trolling everyone he can.

He also wore his DTF hat at a rally in Florida, where Trump delivered his victory speech.

Ultimately, the hat turned out to be one of the least flamboyant fashion choices at the convention.
