Trump Retweets Gross Viral Video of Texas Mayor Taking a Dump on Hot Mic -- From Anti-Trump Account

https://www.mediaite.com/news/america-2020-trump-retweets-gross-viral-video-of-texas-mayor-taking-a-dump-on-hot-mic-from-anti-trump-account/


President Donald Trump retweeted a viral video Saturday morning that consisted of a Texas mayor forgetting to cut his lapel mic when he went to the bathroom, and the ensuing noises. The Twitter user Trump boosted is outspokenly anti-Trump, as well.

Sometime between 7:22 am and 8:04 am Saturday morning — the times of the surrounding tweets — Trump retweeted a video from the account of a user named Paul Samuel. Samuel wrote “THIS IS HILARIOUS,” and added “Mayor of Georgetown in the US excused himself to go & use the washroom in the middle of a meeting & forgot to switch off his mic on his tie & this is what happened.”

Trump was apparently so amused by the video that he didn’t notice the rest of Samuel’s timeline, which is chock full of anti-Trump sentiments, including an entirely new genre of humor: the “He’s so Trumb” joke:

In case Trump undoes his retweet, here’s a screenshot for posterity.

because he thought it was funny. Ten-year-olds think that sort of thing is funny. The president's tweets are official government records, and now we have an official government record of a guy taking a crap because the president thought it was funny.



I wish someone would bug his bathroom and tweet those noises, especially since apparently whatever he produces needs to be flushed fifteen times.

Remember his troubles with an umbrella? Maybe he just thinks he's flushing 15 times, then walks off and lets someone else do the actual flushing.

It's one thing to privately chuckle over bathroom humor (probably we all do from time to time) but something else entirely for the president, who should at least try to appear a little dignified, to do it publicly. I can't imagine Obama doing this.
