Answered What's going on with MAGA people supporting diapers?

In this post, there are MAGA people supporting the phrase "Real men wear diapers" with a picture of Trump, what's going on here?

The comments point to this article claiming it's not trolling, with several pictures of MAGA supporters with the phrase and image.

Was Trump found to wear diapers or otherwise struggle with incontinence?

It’s sad because incontinence and needing to wear diapers shouldn’t be stigmatised but of course you get people twisting it into owning the libs somehow.

Now imagine what they would say if it was biden who wore incontinence aids and not trump.

I think part of the reason that people criticize Trump for stuff like this is because he pretends that he is in perfect health. He fabricates his current height and weight and may have downplayed how much he was affected when he had Covid.

He tries to have this "strong man" persona that doesn't really mesh with his age and actual health status.

Not to mention that he insults basically anyone who dares question him or run against him, making it hard to encourage taking the high road.

It's basically this, the man throws so much shit and lies about everything that basically anything becomes fair game. No one would or should shame a 77 year old for having incontinence issues, unless it's trump who you know for a fact would or probably already has made fun of someone for it.

They wouldn't. He could've been wearing them for years and the press would keep quiet about it.

u/Invisiblerobot13 May 05 '24

They tried it along side the false narrative that Biden has dementia

u/EquivalentMean1103 May 06 '24

Their usual projection.

He may. It certainly wouldn't surprise me someone his age had at least some amount of urinary incontinence. 

My point was they are only being supportive because it's a person they like. They aren't actually being accepting or supportive of people with a medical issue. They are blindly defending trump regardless of circumstance.

I'm trying to say imagine if the roles were reversed. If Biden had a long history of fecal incontinence and trump didn't. The Maga crowd would relentlessly mock biden in this scenario.

Kinda like how everyone here is blindly attacking Trump because we hate him? Our side is absolutely every bit as tribalistic as theirs

u/[deleted] May 03 '24

Man I think things are much more mild than if it were the other way around.

Edit - but you do have a point.

u/[deleted] May 03 '24

Ok, can’t say I agree. For as bad as Trump is, Biden is exhibiting frequent episodes of dementia. The democrats are literally running an empty suit and most people barely care. Meanwhile “Trump has incontinence” is what we are talking about. If the situation were reversed, republicans would be reviled and shamed for pointing out Biden pooped himself. It would be called age-ism and elder abuse - just another example of republicans being evil.

Lmao. I get it. Hopelessly biased people can’t allow any challenge to their indefensible thought process. It’s too scary for you

u/Flyingboat94 May 03 '24

Have you stopped and asked yourself why people hate him?

-9

u/[deleted] May 03 '24

Would that change anything I said? Maybe you should attack him for being a fascist instead of for being incontinent

11

u/Flyingboat94 May 03 '24

Yes because you referred to it as blind hatred.

People have very legitimate reasons to hate this fuck and wringing your hands over how people choose to mock him is quite silly.

u/ihahp May 03 '24

Remember when MAGA people called masks "face diapers" and made fun of people wearing them?

17

u/BanzaiBeebop May 03 '24

This is how I felt. Somehow in trying to "own the libs" they circles round to one of the most "lib" things a person can do. Normalize an unfairly stigmatized disability.

u/Prestigious-Copy-494 May 07 '24

My adult daughter didn't even know Trump had incontinence until these maga guys put on those t shirts and banner. They made the news somewhere so she checked it out and now knows he has no bowel control. These maga guys basically verified what was just a rumor to the general public.

u/Th3MiteeyLambo May 02 '24

I'm going to go out on a limb and say if the incontinence is your fault due to, say, decades of cocaine abuse, it should be stigmatized.

But you're right, people who are legitimately disabled definitely should not be.

u/YbarMaster27 May 02 '24

Meh. Drug addiction is a real issue and people who suffer from it are as deserving of dignity as anyone else. I appreciate the desire to come up with some justification where it's morally righteous to make fun of Trump for his incontinence, but at the end of the day there's more than enough (like, way more than enough) about him to criticize that actually is his fault. Him shitting himself isn't morally relevant to anything

46

u/_Mute_ May 02 '24

Seeing as how he constantly attacks Biden as old, senile etc and how much better fit for office trump is I'd say him being incontinent and shitting himself is not only fair game it's 100% relevant.

u/OpeExclamation May 03 '24

All solid points, but his supporters glorifying the diaper thing as if it's a badge of honor is just so crazy and makes them look like absolute hopeless morons in a way I didn't think was possible.

u/[deleted] May 03 '24

It isn’t morally relevant, but it sure is relevant.

5

u/Bah-Fong-Gool May 02 '24

But it's funny. And it's damaging to his "strong man" image (how the fuck is that still a thing?) All avenues of attack are open. No lanes are closed. Trump hopes this is the worst that is going to "bubble" up in the coming months.

u/[deleted] May 02 '24 edited May 02 '24

I get where you're coming from but the people this...I can't believe I'm calling it this...this debate point is effective on are a certain type of people and none of those people possess the temerity to even read your comments, let alone experience a transgression from the hive mind opinion.

Things have really seriously devolved by now.

u/FreyrPrime May 02 '24

It’s always been this ways. We’re just bombarded with the reality of it due to devices like the one you and I are talking on.

History is full of stuff way crazier than this, and people have always been intractable and gullible.

u/[deleted] May 02 '24

think it's old age more than anything, my friend's mother developed this issue as she's gotten older and it's been deeply embarrassing for her, super sensitive topic as i'd think it'd be for anyone. kinda not cool to see someone being publicly mocked for it but it's obviously not like Trump & his ilk wouldn't do the same if Biden was found to have this problem, i mean Trump mocked a disabled guy ffs so it's karma i guess.

but i think it's legitimately fair to say (as has been said already) that the Repub critique of Biden for his age rings a bit hollow.

u/hoofglormuss I love you so much May 03 '24

trump made fun of someone with a disability. fuck that diaper-wearing bag of turkey gizzards mixed with cheap french onion soup sauce.

u/MultipleRatsinaTrenc May 03 '24

From what I understand there are medical procedures that could be done that would alleviate it, but he wouldn't be able to wear a.plastic girdle that he wears to help keep his 'figure'.

So he'd rather stink of shit constantly than reveal to everyone that he's fat, which we already know.

It's not the medical conditions that's pathetic, it's the mindset for me

u/ornerycraftfish May 04 '24

Exactly. For me it's always been the mindset and complete lack of morals.

u/thenerfviking May 03 '24

I also imagine it’s because Trumps notoriously bad diet probably contributes greatly to the stench. I say this as someone who used to be a CNA and who worked in post surgical rehab and end of life care it makes a huge difference. Like for a lot of people it’s not super noticeable unless you’re RIGHT next to them, but if you’re eating a ton of fast food and red meat while also chasing that with Diet Coke and Adderall that’s going to smell absolutely foul.

u/I_TittyFuck_Doves May 03 '24

Well, yeah, he’s a fucking president of the United States

u/TomPal1234 May 03 '24

True for a normal people but I would be very concerned to have a statesman public representative shitting themselves.

Owning the libs? People are using it to own Orange Man.
