That made me sad
It really worries me that we've fixated on the "lol trump shits his pants" meme to the point that it's showing up in every conversation about him, even though there's absolutely no evidence beyond one small sound on a video. It's the same kind of alternate reality that the MAGAs live in, where what they really want to be true about their opponent has become, to them, the actual truth. The crosspost is one of the most popular posts of the day, and it's just a lie. Making fun of trump is fine, but my theory is that since everything he's actually done is either so fucking horrible (blowing up all those schools) or so fucking dumb (the reflecting pool) that we've had to create something we're comfortable criticizing him for (and "shitting your pants" is an action that only affects him, so you're not being insensitive to a tragedy by joking about it).
