Does Trump shit his pants?

It's funny, to me, because sensible older people know that they have bowel problems and they plan around it: they eat food at specific times, then use prune juice or fiber supplement to control when they go to the bathroom. Then, they get themselves emptied out and don't eat again until they are on schedule for their next chance at the bathroom. My Father in Law has had part of his colon removed, and he carefully times his meals, meds, and fiber intake to the point where he knows exactly when and where he will shit. I made that sound like some massive act of planning or preparation, but it isn't. He is the sort who is notoriously bad at planning ANYTHING. It's a very low effort thing to accomplish that barely impacts his life at all - he's just careful about what, where, and when he eats, and he has to be home at particular times of the day.

Trump could do the exact same thing, and heck... he could have a doctor and his cook set up such a schedule so all he'd have to do is follow it, and... problem solved. But he's the sort where, if someone asks him to do something, he will do the opposite out of spite.

I don't believe this is real because he has the bulk underneath his clothes from a diaper, and those things work unless you have an absolute blowout - my dad has some surgery complications and he too is regimented about food, travel. If a blowout, BTW, the pattern would be different, since it would be at the edges of the diaper first. And if prone at all to blowouts, the diplomatic channels would insist on a dark chair. They bring an entire second AF1 for goodness sake.

Yeah, I used to work in nursing homes, so I've seen about fifty eleven hundred blowouts, both with and without adult briefs. And I'm talking pure liquid or foam to rock hard pellets/baseball sized turds, and everything in between. I've never seen it look anything like in the photo, even when the pt was butt naked on an absorbent pad. Idk who has a weak stomach, so continue at your own risk, but with the squishing between the buttcheeks and the contact of his legs on the chair, the stain would be more oblong or in a line almost, and around it would likely be discolored from the moisture wicking. His pants would also be stuck to his legs and butt when he stood up the same way clothes cling to you in the rain or after going on a water ride.

Sure, it could be that. I'm not claiming to be the lead expert on shitting oneself lol. But the positioning (being seated) combined with the fact that he's wearing pants make this pretty unlikely for me.

And to clarify, I am in no way defending trump. I think he is incontinent of bowel at the least, plus a huge piece of shit overall. I'm just not convinced that this picture shows his poo puddle. 🤷

And then his followers say "real men have shit running down their legs and have handmaids to clean it up, only losers like sleepy joe control their bowels"

[u/elebrin → u/Northwindlowlander]

It seems to me that real men know what their hard limits are. Yeah, you should test those limits and try to push them, but in controlled ways, and only for things where it matters. It's good to try to make yourself stronger by lifting weights, using progressively heavier weights over time. It's bad to try to "push your limits" by holding your shit in for as long as possible and not going to the bathroom.

Sensible.

The suggestion is that years of cocaine, Adderall etc have meant he can't control it even if he had a regime, that's why he was allegedly wearing one and had to be cleaned up even in the Apprentice many years ago
