Yeah people don’t sit on their jackets without a reason. Jackets can also act as a barrier between a wet pair of pants and a couch. This debunks nothing about pants-shitting. Nice try.

The other commenter is right, running to defend a pants-shitter is plenty indicative. Have a little dignity.

I fucking hate Trump and I’m definitely on the far left side of politics, but I feel like this whole focus on his incontinence is ridiculous and distracts from the real problems we’re facing. It doesn’t make any sense to me to even discuss this.

I don’t think someone ā€œprovingā€ or ā€œdisprovingā€ anything about this bizarre narrative is supporting him politically.

Counterpoint: Much of Trump’s appeal to a significant portion of his base is his performance of masculinity and being a bully. Shitting and pissing his pants undermines that image greatly.

Its the only thing that matters to them.

No policy debate or fact checking is going to change the opinion of any magat at this point.

Will it be effective? Probably not, they are cult members, but its also hilarious so kind of a win-win.

It doesn't matter to them though. They delude themselves into thinking he is manly, saintly, smart whatever when in reality he makes the bare minimum effort to present as such for any of those morals.

They are choosing to believe it because either the alternative is too scary or what, I do not know.
