‘Trump Wears Adult Diapers’ is Trending on Twitter and Trump is Not Going to Like It

Today is Donald Trump’s 74th birthday, and from the looks of Twitter, it is not going to be a happy one for the forever-impeached president*.

Currently the top trending topics on Twitter are all about Trump’s health, including him wearing diapers. And here’s why.

Late Saturday night Trump defended his slow descent from a stage following his speech at West Point as speculation suggested his movement was a sign of his declining health. Trump appeared uneasy as he walked down a ramp after his speech to U.S. Military Academy graduates on Saturday before regaining his composure when he reached the bottom.

In a tweet, Trump downplayed suggestions that he struggled to walk down the slope and bizarrely insisted he ran the final 10 feet.

“The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery,” Trump wrote Saturday night.

“The last thing I was going to do is ‘fall’ for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!”

The clip was widely shared on social media, with many expressing concerns about the president’s lack of movement on his right side and small steps he took while walking down the ramp. Another clip during the speech shows Trump using two hands to lift a glass of water to his lips, which also fueled speculation also his ailing health.

On Sunday—the day of the president’s 74th birthday—hundreds of thousands of people tweeted using the #TrumpIsUnwell hashtag, making it one of the top trending topics on Twitter.

George Conway, frequent Trump critic and husband of White House Counsellor Kellyanne Conway, tweeted: “Mr. President, thank you for now ensuring that tens of millions more Americans will see the videos of you unsteadily walking on the ramp and lifting a glass of water with two hands, and will wonder what they don’t know about your physical and mental condition. #TrumpIsNotWell”

In addition to “Trump is unwell,” “Trump Stroke” is also trending, as is “Trump Wears Adult Diapers.”

The rumor that Trump wears adult diapers has been a rumor for as long as Trump’s been president.

Former talent handler and current stand up comic Noel Casler often talks about working with Trump on The Celebrity Apprentice and his teen beauty pageants in the 90s.

According to Casler, Trump is a “speed freak” who snorts Adderall, and that has caused him to be incontinent.

Casler tweeted, “Anyone who thinks I’m joking about Trump wearing Depends should watch this vid…I’m not, it was a known fact on ‘Apprentice’ he is incontinent from all the years of stimulant abuse and fast food. Right Don?”

Casler claims Trump has needed diapers since 2007:

Casler even claims that production would shut down when Trump soiled himself:

So, since it is Trump’s birthday, Twitter had decided to bring up this rumor as a way to humiliate the president.

Take a look:

And by the way, this is not the first time that questions about Trump’s ability to walk down slopes have been raised. In January 2017, Trump was photographed holding then British Prime Minister Theresa May’s hand as they walked together at The White House.

British media speculated that Trump held onto May’s hand for support and that the president has a fear of falling down stairs or slopes—a condition known as bathmophobia.

“He hates heights where you can see the ground or sharp inclines even more than germs,” a U.S. government source told The Daily Mail. “He particularly dislikes staircases and his biggest nightmare of all is a dirty stair rail.”

In November 2017, a video of Trump awkwardly pausing a speech at the White House to take a sip from a water bottle, again using two hands to do so, also went viral.
