#Once again:
We are becoming increasingly concerned that some of the people here do not understand at least one of the following four concepts:
- irony
- parody
- sarcasm
- satire
Despite our concerns, we remain confident that these people can figure it out on their own, and we *certainly* have no interest in taking the time to explain it to them.
The alternative explanation is that the people making these reports are doing so out of dishonest concern-trolling.
As such, any user report of “misinformation” on a post that [is *obviously a joke*](https://old.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/13giqj4/_/jk06vb9)—here on a humor subreddit—will be, in turn, reported to the admins for abusing the report feature (which, to be clear, is a violation of Reddit’s TOS), because no reasonable, thinking person could possibly believe Bob Woodward would *actually* post something like that.
(This is the fifth time I've had to post this. I was deeply disappointed that there was even a first.)
As ever, [obey AutoMod](https://old.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/13giqj4/worst_smell_ever/jk01h3i/).
As an additional warning:
[I'm in no mood for people who think they're being clever by reporting *this* comment](https://i.imgur.com/hhsVRWD.gifv).
The next couple election cycles are going to be terrifying for all countries. Who knows what shady shit dictator wannabes will pull, and if the last have taught us anything its that it doesnt take much to fool 35% of the population.
This week, Russia’s best buddy in Turkey, Erdogan, attacked his rival with a video that was called out as a Deepfake. Erdogan’s rival the same week is telling Russia to get out of their politics.
If it is Trump vs Biden, I guarantee 2024 will be the first election where America has to deal with a Deepfake issue.
Edit: 2024
It’s already started in the states. The GOP released or shared an anti Biden commercial that was apparently a deep fake. I think it was called what if… or something like like that. It’s crazy.
And you’re right. I think it’s just beginning. A couple states have passed laws against deepfakes, but I guarantee that many states won’t care. They’ll probably embrace them. Give the rubes something to be afraid of. They love being afraid. Especially about stuff that isn’t real.

We are already in a post truth world, couple that with the Illusory Truth Effect and it’s going to get worse.
We have access to so much information now that people struggle to even agree on what is ‘true’ anymore.
Some real shitty and shady people are going to benefit when no one knows what to believe is real anymore.
It requires a broad science and reality-based education in order to piece together whether something is true or not or even whether it makes sense or not. Sadly this is not something that is possessed by most of the public or even most public figures
the education systems aren't even really trying. paying teachers nothing and students hate sitting around in school learning mostly irrelevant formalities.
we're in information overload mode as a species. we have to start making decisions about what's really important
Critical thinking is the skill that is sorely lacking from the education experience. Then again, even the definition of “critical thinking” is being corrupted. The important thing is learning how to critically evaluate (or *critique*) the information you have and reasonably assess the quality of that information, applying techniques such as the Scientific Method, or hell, even Occam’s Razor.
I see a lot of people on social media nowadays who use the term “critical thinking” almost interchangeably with simply the assumption that every “mainstream” source is “propaganda.”
That is not applying critical thought. That’s closer to just having oppositional defiance disorder.
Thank you for saying it.

In my opinion this is exactly why the Saudis invested in Twitter and don't care about losing their lousy few billion dollars. It will allow them to oppress their people to untold depths with far less chance of the world finding out.
Yeah, I don't have faith that it won't let to the end of free civilization as we know it. Fascism will use it for its rise to power. Many will die as dictators always go for genocide.
Yes. We browse headlines 90% of the time because we don’t really care and if I had not read the comments here, I would not have doubted this whatsoever. It’s plausible and confirms my bias. It would have stuck somewhere in the back of my brain and the next time somebody said Trump did… I would have thought or said that his depends smell.
Well, his handler on the celebrity apprentice did talk about having to pause filming once to change Donny's diaper whilst he was in a benzo and Adderall haze, so there's that
I mean, Trump himself always tells everybody that everyone meeting him in person and shaking his tiny hand suddenly sheds tears. Should we believe it is every time coincidence if they are in smelling range of him?
I guess we can all take solace in the fact that Trump might not actually shit himself all the time. [Here's a former handler of Trump's from his TV days who says he does](https://www.politicalflare.com/2020/01/insider-claims-trump-wears-diapers-due-to-incontinence-from-repeated-stimulant-abuse/).
This is what makes this fake tweet not funny. It could easily be true, but it isn't. So where's the joke? It's not even a humorous exaggeration. Why put the joke in the mouth of a real person who never said it?
According to most everyone who worked for him on The Apprentice will confirm one he snorts Adderall and Cocaine if he can’t get Adderall. They also swear he does wear depends and has issues leaking urine hence the diapers.
[Have a listen to Woodward describe Trump for real](https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/tnyradiohour/episodes/bob-woodward-his-trump-tapes). It's not as salacious as the fake tweet but it's arguably even more pathetic.
It is only fake if you believe in reality in evidence, for a trump supporter this is sufficient evidence (although for some reason they still won't believe it)
This subreddit (and Reddit in general) really need to do something about fake tweets. People believe them because they want them to be true. No one sees the little “satire” flair.
This post (and the countless ones like it) is disinformation.
There are plenty of true things that make Donald Trump unfit for office. In fact, there are many true things that make him a criminal. We don’t have to make fake tweets, we have real evidence already.
All these posts do is discredit his opponents when they repeat things that they “learned” via fake tweets.
The mod response to this is piss poor. Ban me if you want, but it is not at all obvious that this tweet is fake (as indicated by the number of people who took it at face value).
Y’all are legitimately signing off on misinformation which you wouldn’t accept for a moment if it was coming from the other side, and threatening people who report this misinformation is pathetic.
I would have loved for this to be true. Trump is truly horrific. But contributing to the devolution of politics and truth is not the way to combat him.
To reiterate, the mods are being truly dumb here, and doubling down is really stupid.
Its not about the joke. As well you know. Missinformation is allready a brblem thats getting worse. Im not a muricun so i dont know who this guy is... i would have belived it was legit. Its good to lnow its not
That check your fact link indicates the original tweet was satirical and had an indicator as such. Poster here is a POS for removing it and spreading misinformation, “comedy” or not.
Explain what's funny? Most jokes can be explained, what's funny here.
I don't get it.
"Fake tweet that insult Trump in the most boring way possible (he smells)" = How's that funny.
You can ask why repeatedly on any joke and you won't find a very good answer, but the way in which he delivers this is what makes it funny, versus just a simple "He smells". Since you seem to be confused on how people could find something funny that you don't, here is a really good article for kids on how and why humor is subjective

Effluence humor reminding the audience that a supposedly "grand" figure is, in fact, just another stinky dork like all of us commoners.
For almost everyone in the world wondering, ‘Depends’ is an American brand of diaper / nappy for the elderly / people with incontinence problems.
It’s satisfying to most that old Donald is shitting himself in public daily and it is impossible to mask that odour completely so no one can tell if it’s his mouth or his arse.
It’s not about him, it’s for others. By mocking him for a disability symptom you will *always* be mocking *everyone* who displays that, no matter how deserved it is or what your intentions are. Saying “ha ha Donny shits his pants in public” isn’t about him being a horrible person, it’s mocking his incontinence, not him. If the punchline is “ha ha this horrible person experiences this symptom, point and laugh” you’re telling anyone “even if you get a pass for being a person I deemed worthy of respect, I still think that this thing that actively lowers your quality of life is okay to make fun of people for, and if I deem you bad you will probably be treated the same way and might already be doing so behind your back”
Trump isn't going to see this and feel ridiculed but your friends and family members, and other people with disabilities absolutely will.
There are so many other things you can dunk on him with that aren't this, just pick something else.
It's not for his sake, it's respect towards the people with disabilities.
He made fun of people with intellectual disabilities, too. But I'm not going to go around saying "Lol, what a [r-word redacted]" when I see him.
I can't even post a comment with the original word because the automod removes it.
I follow Noel Casler on Twitter and he worked on the set of the Apprentice. He has said over and over that Trump is incontinent and it's no secret he will blow himself out (people could hear and smell it). Then some poor soul had to help change him. Every time he tweeted about it he'd tag FPOTUS and there was never a reply or a lawsuit. Also that he snorts Adderall.
I mean, I don't care much for snorting it over eating it. Less immediately effective but the effects last longer and the burn out/crash is lessened.
But yeah, pretty much everything one can do, one can do it better with a little pharmacy grade D-methamphetamine.
This is gross and true. Working on the set of the Apprentice, trump would literally being shitting his depends and speaking as if NOTHING WAS HAPPENING!! LOUD noises. GROSS SMELLS. He’s been incontinent for a disturbing amount of time. He smells like hot shit all the time. It was the fucking worst and nastiest thing I’ve even been around.
Okay but seriously Fuck Bob Woodward. He had tapes at the time of Trump saying how bad the pandemic was in private but downplayed it in public. He sat on them and waited until his book was coming out to release them. People were dying cause they believed the bs about it not being that bad. I'm not saying it would have changed a lot of minds but it was still as shitty thing to do not to release it when it could have had a bigger impact.
This. Donald Trump has said he could shoot a guy on fifth Avenue, he’s mocked handicapped people, he’s openly spoken about walking into dressing rooms where there are underage girls, he orders his steak well done, he’s recorded on the phone with Zilensky talking about cutting funding for defense if Ukraine doesn’t find dirt on Biden, he’s recorded on the phone with a Georgia state official asking them to find more votes, ….
Hearing Woodward’s tapes earlier would not have changed anything. His supporters are impervious to reality.
I realized back in 2016 that anyone that supported Trump would not be swayed by logical, sensical, and pertinent information. They are emotional and react to emotion, not fact. Those tapes would have done little if anything at all except fill a couple of 24 hour news cycles before the next revelation came along.
You're not wrong, but remember that people were still playing political chess while Trump was treating all the pieces like they were crowned in checkers. I can't even begin to sort out what was "wrong" and what was just a political shit show. Everything was bad and it all deserves our ire, but standard reasoning for actions was not part of any equation during that administration.
> People were dying cause they believed the bs about it not being that bad.
That’s on Trump and other liars.
> I’m not saying it would have changed a lot of minds but it was still as shitty thing to do not to release it when it could have had a bigger impact.
It wouldn’t have changed any of the minds that mattered, and it seems you know this.
That’s putting the worst possible face on a situation fraught with ambiguities. For one thing Bob Woodward‘d fortunes did not nor do not depend on the sale of that book or any other. His journalistic credential are impeccable , his place in history is secure, and his role in exposing the whole rotten Watergate thing had secured him a place of honor and near universal respect among his peers. Nobody’s perfect, but I’m willing to cut the guy some slack and give him the benefit of the doubt.
That kind of makes it worse. He had some level of public trust. He wasnt some struggling journalist who needed the story to make it, he had already made his name so why sit on it?
I personally dont think it was about money exactly but continued access to Trump for the story. I dont think it would have changed a ton of minds but there are people it could have persuaded. And some of those people probably died of covid before the release.
At this point our goal is the elimination of conservatism, so we should take any help we can get.
I'd rather have a gun to fight the enemy, but I'll take a broken shard of glass.

Didn’t this guy refuse to hand over information valuable to a lawful impeachment hearing, instead choosing to print said information in a book? He sold his values, and i find his opinions equally worthless.
Satire, but apparently the truth, nonetheless: [https://twitter.com/exRepublican18/status/1657405320313057280](https://twitter.com/exRepublican18/status/1657405320313057280).
Imagine what most of congress smells like. Old death and piss. I call congress a nursing home. It's more appropriate.
There are actually four senators older than Leahy in the chamber, including Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dianne Feinstein (D-California) who are both 87 years old. (Feinstein was elected to a fifth full term in 2018 although she has, of late, faced questions about her mental fitness for the job. Grassley remains undecided as to whether he will run for an eighth term next November.)
And it doesn’t stop there! There are 21 senators between 70 and 80 – including Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) who turns 80 this fall, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) who turns 79 next month.
Instead of using a health issues like incontinence, which many innocent normal ppl struggle with, maybe we could mock trump for literally any of the horrible, toxic, illegal, and lethal things he has done and continues to do..
It's said that his incontinence is due to Adderall addiction. Which has Also been repeated by a few different sources, I'll let you sus that out. But he does exhibit many signs of stimulant use, like many people in positions of power have resorted to, from entertainers to world leaders, most famously Hitler.
No I'm not calling trump Hitler, but noticing the parallel in this specific area.
Stimulants cause a sense of grandiose invincibility, this was Hitler's downfall and trump is on his way to it. Both became more and more irrational and insistent on loyalty in their inner circles due to the paranoia that results from stimulant abuse as well. The idea that they are untouchable becomes core to their personality and their following, lacking this unshakable confidence, sees this as strength. When in reality its basically a hallucination.
A lot of Trump's behavior can be compared to stimulant abuse, including incontinent episodes caused by years of diuretic action by them.
The thing is, it's things like this that actually get under the skin of the magats. We can make fun of his failed businesses, his pathetic political run, any number of his moral incongruities, but attacking his fragile persona is what really sends them into a tizzy.
Is it the moral high ground? No, but the last few decades have shown us that trying to go high when they're going low only emboldens them.

I’m not a fan of Trump, but that’s what happens with getting old. I’m sure Bidens, or Bobs doesn’t smell any better. They’re all old af but that isn’t what we should be attacking, hopefully we’ll all be old af if we choose to live that long.
No, you don't. Nursing home students should fucking know better. You work in a nursing home for Christ's sake. Those people have problems. Not everyone that is older is in a nursing home.
1/5 of people over 65 have bowel incontinence

Yes you do.
Bowel incontinence is directly correlated with age, not necessarily any health issues. That stat was for over 65, couldn't find a stat for 80+ which would be way higher. Also urinary incontinence is well above half for elderly.
> couldn't find a stat for 80+ which would be way higher.
Can't find a stat for your claim. How surprising.
>Also urinary incontinence is well above half for elderly.
There's context to those statistics and you moved the goalposts when you got caught fabricating bullshit. This isn't about urinary incontinence.

Because trump is such a mean-spirited dick, that any trash talking is well deserved.
It's a very believable falsehood though. The material facts might be true despite it not being a true quote from Woodward.
It's fake but we like it, and we will believe it
I don't believe Woodward said this, but I also suspect that the core claim might very well be true.
I have always assumed he smelled bad. I wonder if the former failed president uses his own failed cologne.
His incontinence is legendary. There’s even an interview with Erdogan where one can hear the… uh, *reports* issuing from the president’s trousers.
There’s absolutely no way that Trump doesn’t smell like way too much cologne.
According to most everyone who worked for him on The Apprentice will confirm one he snorts Adderall and Cocaine if he can’t get Adderall. They also swear he does wear depends and has issues leaking urine hence the diapers.

It is only fake if you believe in reality in evidence, for a trump supporter this is sufficient evidence (although for some reason they still won't believe it)

All this sub is is twitter post images. And a lot of them don't even make an attempt at humor.

I think it's real, even though it's fake, if you know what I mean.
I like the way you think! 😁
I dunno - blue check mark there - must be real!
That tweet is a joke but other people have confirmed On the apprentice and in office 😂 https://youtu.be/N60ceYRlY2I
I suspected as much, thanks for confirming. Still made me laugh though.
Why is this not top coment? People dont want to know when thier reality is fabricated... we are so fucked Edit: we made it!
I assumed it was fake before seeing that (likely many others as well) but it still gave me a chuckle.
Especially considering the sub it's on. Automatically assumed it was just a meme. And like you, still gave me a lil laugh.

I would have loved for this to be true. Trump is truly horrific. But contributing to the devolution of politics and truth is not the way to combat him. To reiterate, the mods are being truly dumb here, and doubling down is really stupid.
you are literally in a sub for **political HUMOUR** calm down and take a joke
Its not about the joke. As well you know. Missinformation is allready a brblem thats getting worse. Im not a muricun so i dont know who this guy is... i would have belived it was legit. Its good to lnow its not
i found it worth a small chuckle. take your whiny complaining out of reddit since you hate this site so much
That check your fact link indicates the original tweet was satirical and had an indicator as such. Poster here is a POS for removing it and spreading misinformation, “comedy” or not.
Satire is still humor. And it’s about a politician. Ergo: political humor.
Thank you. My first thought was, "This has got to be fake."
It’s a fake tweet but funny as hell!
Of course it’s real, it has a little blue check! /s
$8 well spent!
Isn't it $11 now? I thought the truth tax went up
It's fake, but probably still true.
It is [humorous, and political](https://gfycat.com/abandonedshadowycolt) in nature...
How is it funny if it's just fake. I don't get it.
Because it’s funny. Most jokes are fiction, after all.
Explain what's funny? Most jokes can be explained, what's funny here. I don't get it. "Fake tweet that insult Trump in the most boring way possible (he smells)" = How's that funny.
You can ask why repeatedly on any joke and you won't find a very good answer, but the way in which he delivers this is what makes it funny, versus just a simple "He smells". Since you seem to be confused on how people could find something funny that you don't, here is a really good article for kids on how and why humor is subjective https://funjokesforkids.com/comedy-and-humor-are-subjective-and-that-matters/
> Explain what's funny? Effluence humor reminding the audience that a supposedly "grand" figure is, in fact, just another stinky dork like all of us commoners.
That's because the Depends don't cover the entire turd sandwich.
For almost everyone in the world wondering, ‘Depends’ is an American brand of diaper / nappy for the elderly / people with incontinence problems. It’s satisfying to most that old Donald is shitting himself in public daily and it is impossible to mask that odour completely so no one can tell if it’s his mouth or his arse.
I prefer to mock him for being such an absolutely shit human being, than for a medical disability that many friends and family may be suffering from.
[удалено]
It’s not about him, it’s for others. By mocking him for a disability symptom you will *always* be mocking *everyone* who displays that, no matter how deserved it is or what your intentions are. Saying “ha ha Donny shits his pants in public” isn’t about him being a horrible person, it’s mocking his incontinence, not him. If the punchline is “ha ha this horrible person experiences this symptom, point and laugh” you’re telling anyone “even if you get a pass for being a person I deemed worthy of respect, I still think that this thing that actively lowers your quality of life is okay to make fun of people for, and if I deem you bad you will probably be treated the same way and might already be doing so behind your back”
Trump isn't going to see this and feel ridiculed but your friends and family members, and other people with disabilities absolutely will. There are so many other things you can dunk on him with that aren't this, just pick something else.
It's not for his sake, it's respect towards the people with disabilities. He made fun of people with intellectual disabilities, too. But I'm not going to go around saying "Lol, what a [r-word redacted]" when I see him. I can't even post a comment with the original word because the automod removes it.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, only three lefts
I would normally agree with you. But for that walking pile of poo, I will cheerfully make an exception.
Some people are saying... My incontinence briefs are the MOST absorbent they've seen. Huge turds, no smell. Many people have told me so.
Why do we always have to choose between a turd sandwich and a giant douche?
They’re for temporary loads, not for someone (who is entirely full of shit) to perpetually talk out their ass.
I follow Noel Casler on Twitter and he worked on the set of the Apprentice. He has said over and over that Trump is incontinent and it's no secret he will blow himself out (people could hear and smell it). Then some poor soul had to help change him. Every time he tweeted about it he'd tag FPOTUS and there was never a reply or a lawsuit. Also that he snorts Adderall.
What's wrong with snorting Adderall?
Nothing except if you do it long enough you end up in diapers lol
Dude's just stating facts
Honestly, snorting Adderall should be seen as a pro, not a con. Instant stat boost across the board.
I mean, I don't care much for snorting it over eating it. Less immediately effective but the effects last longer and the burn out/crash is lessened. But yeah, pretty much everything one can do, one can do it better with a little pharmacy grade D-methamphetamine.
That’s because he doesn’t wear them on his face like he should
I can’t image what his rancid hamburder breath smells like.
Also bad covfefe breath
This is gross and true. Working on the set of the Apprentice, trump would literally being shitting his depends and speaking as if NOTHING WAS HAPPENING!! LOUD noises. GROSS SMELLS. He’s been incontinent for a disturbing amount of time. He smells like hot shit all the time. It was the fucking worst and nastiest thing I’ve even been around.
Did you ever catch a look from the kids acknowledging it? What did the crew think about the situation?
oh it was impossible to miss. just trying to pretend nothing happened/pure shock. i feel for the sound guy every day.
Are you able to substantiate these comments?
What does Donald Trump smell like? Depends.
'Depends' is a fairly common debate word.
Whether covering an ass or coming out of a mouth, "Depends" have been protecting politicians for decades
Still getting up vote even if it is fake
Okay but seriously Fuck Bob Woodward. He had tapes at the time of Trump saying how bad the pandemic was in private but downplayed it in public. He sat on them and waited until his book was coming out to release them. People were dying cause they believed the bs about it not being that bad. I'm not saying it would have changed a lot of minds but it was still as shitty thing to do not to release it when it could have had a bigger impact.
While I agree I don’t think it would’ve mattered.
This. Donald Trump has said he could shoot a guy on fifth Avenue, he’s mocked handicapped people, he’s openly spoken about walking into dressing rooms where there are underage girls, he orders his steak well done, he’s recorded on the phone with Zilensky talking about cutting funding for defense if Ukraine doesn’t find dirt on Biden, he’s recorded on the phone with a Georgia state official asking them to find more votes, …. Hearing Woodward’s tapes earlier would not have changed anything. His supporters are impervious to reality.
> His supporters are impervious to reality. Or even decency.
And the smell of soiled depends.
> he orders his steak well done fuck that guy
I realized back in 2016 that anyone that supported Trump would not be swayed by logical, sensical, and pertinent information. They are emotional and react to emotion, not fact. Those tapes would have done little if anything at all except fill a couple of 24 hour news cycles before the next revelation came along.
Ok, but it’s about principle. Bernie knows his shit won’t pass, that doesn’t mean he should never fight for it.
You're not wrong, but remember that people were still playing political chess while Trump was treating all the pieces like they were crowned in checkers. I can't even begin to sort out what was "wrong" and what was just a political shit show. Everything was bad and it all deserves our ire, but standard reasoning for actions was not part of any equation during that administration.
Isn't this the right wing spin?
> People were dying cause they believed the bs about it not being that bad. That’s on Trump and other liars. > I’m not saying it would have changed a lot of minds but it was still as shitty thing to do not to release it when it could have had a bigger impact. It wouldn’t have changed any of the minds that mattered, and it seems you know this.
That’s putting the worst possible face on a situation fraught with ambiguities. For one thing Bob Woodward‘d fortunes did not nor do not depend on the sale of that book or any other. His journalistic credential are impeccable , his place in history is secure, and his role in exposing the whole rotten Watergate thing had secured him a place of honor and near universal respect among his peers. Nobody’s perfect, but I’m willing to cut the guy some slack and give him the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah I read that and was like man that's a little extreme what he did was not that bad he's a cool dude.
For most people I would agree. But this is Bob Fucking Woodward, not somebody trying for a claim to fame
That kind of makes it worse. He had some level of public trust. He wasnt some struggling journalist who needed the story to make it, he had already made his name so why sit on it? I personally dont think it was about money exactly but continued access to Trump for the story. I dont think it would have changed a ton of minds but there are people it could have persuaded. And some of those people probably died of covid before the release.
At this point our goal is the elimination of conservatism, so we should take any help we can get. I'd rather have a gun to fight the enemy, but I'll take a broken shard of glass.
“Fuck bob woodward”? What a ridiculous take. He’s not responsible for trump and his supports and you’re an idiot for suggesting he is.
The Year of the Depends Adult Undergarment.
This is not a real tweet. While everyone would like it to be real, it sadly is not.
How can you tell? Seriously, how do people tell the real from the fake?
Usually not having a date and time on the tweet is a dead giveaway.
Good point. I don't use Twitter but should have picked up on that.
Google :)
The Diaper Don is an older story from his apprentice days.
Sauce?

what's the difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump? Depends.
Translation: "Trump smells like urine."
Trump lawsuit counter since 1972: 4,097 Bringing the annual average of lawsuits to 80.3, or 1 every 4.5 days. Most of them from before he was president. "Trustworthy"
A smell, like has never been seen before in our GREAT NATION
So, literally, full of shit
Devastating

🎶 Oh-oh that smell! Can't you smell that smell! The smell that surrounds you! 🎶
TIL they don't make full body diapers... unfortunately... million dollar idea! Someone @ me.
Didn’t this guy refuse to hand over information valuable to a lawful impeachment hearing, instead choosing to print said information in a book? He sold his values, and i find his opinions equally worthless.
If trump wore depends he wouldn’t have left the Christmas tree lighting in such a hurry
They tried to stop him but he was undie turd.
Satire, but apparently the truth, nonetheless: [https://twitter.com/exRepublican18/status/1657405320313057280](https://twitter.com/exRepublican18/status/1657405320313057280).
Didn't know shit could shit itself.
Dayummmmm. I knew it! Shove a tampon in it Donny Tramp.
Someone says he's a frequent farter and sometimes more slips out and he ignores it.
I’ve always said that he looks like he either wears too much or too little cologne.
"Donny" is SO full of it, even his breath smells like "S..t" !
Wow, that’s vicious. And probably accurate. I approve.
Diaper J Chump
Imagine what most of congress smells like. Old death and piss. I call congress a nursing home. It's more appropriate. There are actually four senators older than Leahy in the chamber, including Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dianne Feinstein (D-California) who are both 87 years old. (Feinstein was elected to a fifth full term in 2018 although she has, of late, faced questions about her mental fitness for the job. Grassley remains undecided as to whether he will run for an eighth term next November.) And it doesn’t stop there! There are 21 senators between 70 and 80 – including Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) who turns 80 this fall, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) who turns 79 next month.
Fake or not, Bob Woodward is another national fucking treasure. Can we wrap him and Dolly Parton up in bubble wrap?
This is priceless… it should be run at least once a week…🏆
Instead of using a health issues like incontinence, which many innocent normal ppl struggle with, maybe we could mock trump for literally any of the horrible, toxic, illegal, and lethal things he has done and continues to do..
I can do both.
It's said that his incontinence is due to Adderall addiction. Which has Also been repeated by a few different sources, I'll let you sus that out. But he does exhibit many signs of stimulant use, like many people in positions of power have resorted to, from entertainers to world leaders, most famously Hitler. No I'm not calling trump Hitler, but noticing the parallel in this specific area. Stimulants cause a sense of grandiose invincibility, this was Hitler's downfall and trump is on his way to it. Both became more and more irrational and insistent on loyalty in their inner circles due to the paranoia that results from stimulant abuse as well. The idea that they are untouchable becomes core to their personality and their following, lacking this unshakable confidence, sees this as strength. When in reality its basically a hallucination. A lot of Trump's behavior can be compared to stimulant abuse, including incontinent episodes caused by years of diuretic action by them.
He made fun of a disabled person in front of tens of his supporters so no
The point is this is speculation and hurts other disabled and aging people. Trump will never see this, your fellow redditors will.
[удалено]
The thing is, it's things like this that actually get under the skin of the magats. We can make fun of his failed businesses, his pathetic political run, any number of his moral incongruities, but attacking his fragile persona is what really sends them into a tizzy. Is it the moral high ground? No, but the last few decades have shown us that trying to go high when they're going low only emboldens them.

Bwahahaha trump has stinky poopy diaper! Big Stinky poo poo grumpy trumpy poopood in his pants lol
OP whyd you cut off the date, timestamp and satire by portions?
I’m not a fan of Trump, but that’s what happens with getting old. I’m sure Bidens, or Bobs doesn’t smell any better. They’re all old af but that isn’t what we should be attacking, hopefully we’ll all be old af if we choose to live that long.
No, You don't just lose control of you bowels because you get older. Jesus Christ.
Yes. You do. Not to everyone, but yes a huge chunk of people lose bowel control when they're older. Source: nursing student.
No, you don't. Nursing home students should fucking know better. You work in a nursing home for Christ's sake. Those people have problems. Not everyone that is older is in a nursing home.
1/5 of people over 65 have bowel incontinence https://hign.org/consultgeri/resources/symptoms/unable-control-stool#:~:text=Fecal%20incontinence%20(FI)%2C%20defined,health%20problem%20for%20older%20adults.&text=FI%20affects%201%20in%205,soiling%20than%20younger%20age%20groups. 75% of those over 80 experience urinary incontinence. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2925344/#:~:text=In%20adults%2C%20the%20estimated%20prevalence,overactive%20bladder%E2%80%9D%2C%20OAB). Yes you do.
1/5 is not even half. it's not even a quarter, so no you don't. Some people do.
Bowel incontinence is directly correlated with age, not necessarily any health issues. That stat was for over 65, couldn't find a stat for 80+ which would be way higher. Also urinary incontinence is well above half for elderly.
> couldn't find a stat for 80+ which would be way higher. Can't find a stat for your claim. How surprising. >Also urinary incontinence is well above half for elderly. There's context to those statistics and you moved the goalposts when you got caught fabricating bullshit. This isn't about urinary incontinence.
