Rebekah Jones, a geographer, data scientist, and climate activist, has made a massive, humorous claim about President Donald Trump, and her tweet is going viral on social media.

Posting a possible explanation behind an Oval Office event ending abruptly, she said, in what appeared to be sarcasm, that Trump ‘pooped his pants’.

A little overhyped, could have just been a particularly smelly fart. He could have shit himself, but hard to tell from the video.

I think I've seen better evidence of Trump shitting himself.

Although the end where he ended the meeting promptly does kinda put me back over on the he shit himself side.

The way the staff reacted, this was rehearsed or at least a very well planned for event.

I guarantee every staff member near the oval has a memo that discussed protocol for a code brown event.

yeah. you maybe hear something that could be a fart from anyone in the room. i hate orange cheeto as much as the other guy, but this seems to be slightly exaggerated

How often do they suddenly, immediately end a press conference and they usher everyone out of the room quickly without answering any questions?

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 weeks ago

Agreed. Trump's a narcissist. He loves attention. There's no way he would make everyone leave without a good reason.

based on the number of white house press conferences i have attended, which is zero, there is no way for me to answer that question.

That's great, I'm glad you let everyone know

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don’t know either, it just seemed like none of the press were expecting it to end like that. They were ushered out with cameras rolling.

it definitely looks suspicious, i don't dispute that, it is just that after what i have read, i have expected more from the video. stupid look on trump's face isn't really something we haven't seen before and that sound doesn't really prove much imho. 😂
