There was a weird noise in a recent press rvent at the oval office and then reporters were ushered outside - rumors are that the reporters said it smelled like he shit himself, but I haven’t seen any primary source claiming it. Seems most likely that this is a rumor and something else was going on, though it would be amusing if it were true.

until he provides proof stating otherwise, that vile man just shit his pants on live television in one of the most storied rooms in America.
it’s where the Cuban missile crisis was resolved by John F Kennedy.
Nixon addressed the nation when Watergate broke.
Lyndon Johnson signed the civil rights act of 1964.
Bill Clinton got his dick wet.
finally, Donald Trump shit himself in front of a nation.
man, what an amazing history and now his shitty drawers are a part of it!

I mean: do you really think am official would confirm POTUS shat his pants if it were true? These are the scenes where you’ll never know what actually happened.

Yeah, exactly.

The video in question, since nobody’s linked you. At 33 seconds you hear what appears to be an audible fart/shart. Given how fast he cleared the room after and some of the facial expressions, it does seem very likely he did.

Those seem like… real stretches. When she “Gestures it’s a code 2” she scratches her nose, and the staff hot mic is extremely indistinct, to the point that even listening for “I really can’t do this again” I can only barely hear it. Even the initial “shart” noise is an incredibly minor sound in a room with a whole lot of extremely minor sounds.
I hate when people leap to support this kind of rumor, because it’s just such a waste of time - there’s never going to be any proof, everyone is just putting string on a corkboard and insisting it makes sense.
There’s so so many exhaustively well documented things to hold against trump, why in this case do we need to literally make shit up to feel superior to him? Isn’t the part where we’re not corrupt genocidal narcissistic homophobic hypocritical monsters enough?

Dude, the sound is clearly audible, and the people behind him clearly react to it, and they clearly end the event prematurely right after it happens.
Attention on this doesn’t diminish any of the horrible atrocities committed by the Trump Admin, but it cuts at the very foundation of the “strongman” persona Trump tries so desperately to portray

Mostly because it’s hilarious.
And you’re right, the real evidence this happened is in the reactions of the other people in the room, which are a lot harder to argue with. If nobody had reacted, I’d also be saying this doesn’t happen.

My favorite part is at 00:40 when you see rfk jr do a big inhale and frown and maybe even think to that he shouldn’t have sat behind him.
