As another user pointed out, it's his jacket.

The meme is funny but the text is false. He isn't sitting on anything, it is his jacket. You can see him sit down without any towel on the couch and his jacket spreads to the side ~0:30 into the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKzo0hTJXB4

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).

You're right. Thanks for sharing that. It's very clear in the video.

Imagine having that much money and not being able to acquire a jacket that fits. At least when clowns do it, it's with a sense of irony.

Funny meme but someone else pointed out in his original thread that it’s his suit jacket. You can tell from the original video.

We all know why.

Could have put a cream-colored towel and no one would know.

They wanted us to see.

Depends. Jokes aside a cream colored towel would not be effective at hiding a shit puddle.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, the shit puddle is clearly visible on the black towel. It’s even got a red tie on.

is it because he knows what Vance does to every couch he sees?

or is it because he's such a shit stain on humanity that he literally stains everything he sits on.

yeah yeah I know it's his suit but he's still a piece of shit. fuck him.
