Trump audibly shits himself during an Oval Office presser, then abruptly ends the event without taking questions and has reporters ushered out. (35 seconds in is the sound.)

Translation: the Kennedy Center has lost so many performances and is losing so much money that I might be embarrassed. It’s better to shut it down for most of my term in office so I don’t look bad. Meanwhile, I will add a ton of marble and gold leaf to change it to my taste so that I can have a triumphant “grand reopening” which the media will have to cover. ---

It’s at about the 34-35 second mark, as the guy on the left is saying “chemists are coming up with new opioids faster than the government has been able to keep up”. ---

Speaking of whom, at about the fifteen seconds in he announces that Noloxone (aka Narcan) is now available without a prescription. It has been so for years – I have two syringes loaded with it in my Burning Man kit – and is cheaper than gasoline.

My agency issued everyone a nasal spray kit to have on hand (I am a child welfare supervisor). I have one at work and one at home. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > I had to listen several times before I heard a little toot Granted, it’s not an earth-shattering, pants-splitting anal eruption, but you can tell from the way Trump immediately ends the event, with the staff shooing all the reporters out right away, and the reaction of the woman in the back that it’s quite evident to everyone in the room what happened. ---

And yet the press remains silent. Can you imagine two years ago the shit-storm (sorry) that would have erupted had Biden done similarly? We’re way beyond the President wearing underpants on his head stage. ---

“Knowing where to look”, I could clearly hear a long, wet, kinda intermittent fart, with the woman standing behind giving a quick look at Trump right then, and then the presser was done. It didn’t sound to me like a shit-one’s-pants level evacuation, but you know what the elderly say: never trust a fart. ---

I can’t hear it on expensive headphones, but my hearing is bad. They sure did clear that room out quickly though. Let’s see, a diet of McD’s and Diet Coke. ---

On a set of Yamaha studio monitors, the fart is easy to hear. Don’t know if it’s his fart, but I would suspect so.
