So Trump is healthier than we thought…

I think you meant “incontinentcy”.

Poop poop pee doo,

I guess, considering that men his age have a wide range of age-related wrinkledness*. I’m not sure if you are saying you are shocked that he looks that old, or something else.

I’m more concerned with the rictus that is passing for a smile there. If I were standing as close as that woman, I would be looking for the nearest emergency exit.

*I was reading the IMDb article on the guy who played the old juror in 12 Angry Men; he was 73 when he made that film, and looked extremely good for his age (considering it was the 50s).

This is news to me, although it would not be surprising to me that I have missed it. Nevertheless, I am suspicious of such a claim without more evidence, such as access to the video in question.

Moderating:

Let’s keep these types of posts to the Pit. You’re in P&E here.

Here you are. At about 34 seconds in as the henchman is talking about pharmaceuticals, an unmistakable sound is heard (and if the microphone on the other end of the room picked it up that means EVERYONE in the room heard it), the woman in green behind Trump can be seen to react, and within seconds aides are ushering the media out of the room.

I meant it literally: he looks his age there, no older, no younger. I’m around people in their 70s and 80s everyday and he definitely fits.

For sure. Melania has the same mechanical smile that doesn’t reach to her eyes.

No kidding.

I turned my sound up as loud as it would go, but I didn’t hear anything, before they started ushering everyone out. Can you pinpoint the time stamp for me? Sorry, my hearing may be at fault, I want to be fair.

34 seconds, just as henchman is saying “opioids”.

Back early in his first term I commented with someone who campaigned for him, that I wished they could convince him he looked a lot better without the fake tan.

I may be trying too hard, but the best I can do, by switching my computer speakers from my Creative Labs sound bar to the native speakers in the monitor, is to detect a faint hissing sound just before Trump starts to speak again. If it is a high-pitched sound, that could account for my difficulty in catching it, I have lost some decibels in my upper registers.

If anyone else wants to chime in (so to speak) and confirm that they hear an obvious sound anywhere in this clip, please do so.

I couldn’t care less, and I hear it, so that should maybe count double?

I don’t hear it, either. Played it over several times.

I still haven’t listened with the sound up because I only think about it while I’m at work, but my daughter told me she heard it clearly. :person_shrugging:

ETA: still can’t hear it with sound at medium

I don’t think you could tell this on video unless the person was naked and the camera was focused on a certain part of the body.

While incontinence is a common symptom of Alzheimer’s Disease, it is also a symptom of less serious disorders. I do not see that symptom as disqualifying someone from being president, or being a good predictor of life expectancy.

Trump has spent years mocking people with disabilities and Biden in particular for age related infirmities. He’s fair game for mockery.

I heard it when the video was initially posted. I didn’t at first, but when I got the specific timestamp and turned the volume up, I could hear it. I heard it again in the video embedded above. It is not just a hiss. It’s a raspberry. As noted, it’s right at the 34 second mark. You can see the woman in the green jacket react.

It’s not just the sound. It’s the fact that that sound immediately lead to the abrupt end of the presser and the media being ushered out of the room. It’s clear that the staff (especially the lady in green) knew what happened.

Why couldn’t it have been a particularly smelly fart? The woman in green probably would have made the same face, and they might have wanted to clear the room before the smell permeated, and a reporter asked about it (although maybe they shouldn’t have been waving their hands so much). I think, just from looking at the various actions, that the staff had understood a pre-arranged signal in case anything like this (or that) happened, hence the bum’s rush.

This is me now accepting that there must have been a sound, even though I still can’t hear it. Folks can believe, of course, whatever they want, but the assertion of shitting himself is not proved by this, not even by a preponderance of evidence. (And not that it really matters anyway.)

If he can rip a fart so nasty it causes an evacuation of the room, he may as well have shit himself.

I thought his adult diaper was an open secret. Wasn’t there a time when MAGA folks were defending it, saying “real men wear diapers”? Then again, that could just as easily be a too-plausible-to-distinguish-from-reality Onion headline.

It’s not even much of a secret. Adam Kinzinger is on the record that Trump literally smells like shit.

At his age I don’t think it’s EVER just a fart.
