There is a peculiar White House rumor that floats through political backchannels and social media feeds, alleging that the former president has an unusually unapologetic relationship with passing gas.
According to whispers from people who claim close proximity to the commander-in-chief, the issue is not policy, but an alleged habit of extreme flatulence unleashed in mixed company. This is not framed as a one off embarrassment. The accusation is that it happens regularly, casually, and without warning. Reportedly this leaves nearby aides, officials, and others “talking” with their facial expressions.
The internet, being the internet, has already gone to work.

A handful of viral clips are circulating where observers swear you can see the exact moment something invisible but offensive enters the room. There is no audible evidence and no scientific confirmation. Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or whatever villain gas we are dealing with remains unseen. But the faces tell the whole story. Grimaces. Awkward pauses. People blinking…
What makes this rumor stick is the alleged lack of reaction from Trump himself. Most humans offer some kind of acknowledgement that a line has been crossed. Trump allegedly carries on, unfazed, while others suffer in silence. As I did research…I see this has been going on for a long time. Trump just breaks wind and it is a part of the legacy now.
Flatulence is usually comedy gold. But this is not funny. This is nasty!
To be clear, this is all rumor and speculation but the internet has quite a lot of smoke.
