Did Trump Fart? Kimmel's Gassy Evidence Review
The internet was set ablaze (and, well, maybe a little gassy) with a viral video that seemed to capture a certain former president letting one rip during a speech. It all went down on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where the talk show host presented the "smoking gun" evidence. But was it a genuine "Trump fart" or just a case of internet hyperbole? Let's dive into the evidence and see if we can sniff out the truth.
The Case for a Presidential Toot
Kimmel, never one to shy away from a good political roast, presented the video to his audience with a dramatic flourish. The clip, taken from a 2020 rally, shows Trump mid-sentence, with a sudden, whoosh sound erupting from the stage. Now, it's pretty difficult to conclusively say whether the sound came from the former president or the crowd. Was it just a poorly timed cough? A rogue gust of wind? Or did Trump really let one fly?
The evidence, however, leans towards the latter. The timing of the sound, the brief grimace on Trump's face, and the way he quickly clears his throat all point to something more than a simple cough. It's clear the crowd noticed something, too, with murmurs and giggles erupting around the stage.
The Counterarguments and Why They Don't Hold Up
Of course, there are those who vehemently deny the "Trump fart" allegations. Some argue that the sound was simply a microphone malfunction or even the wind. But come on, folks, we're not talking about a slight sound here! It's a full-on WHOOSH that even the most seasoned political commentators couldn't ignore.
Then there's the "Trump wouldn't fart in public" argument. To those, I say: come on, who actually believes that? Even presidents are human beings and, let's face it, human beings have bodily functions, even if they're standing on a stage in front of thousands.
The Verdict? It Smells Like...
While we may never have definitive proof (unless, you know, we get a direct quote from Trump himself), the evidence presented by Kimmel certainly leans towards a "Trump fart." Whether intentional or not, the sound was definitely audible, and the reaction of the crowd suggests something unusual happened.
So, did Trump fart? The jury's still out, but the evidence definitely points to...well, let's just say it was a pretty gassy moment in American history.
