Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Yes, it does go back to the Apprentice. One staffer from the show, comic Noel Casler, who worked on the Apprentice for six years, blew off the NDA he signed and did a set in which he claimed, among many things, that Trump was incontinent from all the Adderall he's taken. I recommend that your read this interview with him or find the set he did on Youtube (sorry, I don't have a link). Other celebrities, Kathy Griffith and Tom Arnold, both came out as supporting Noel Casler as a credible person.

Personally, I take his claims with a grain of salt. However, there some things that make me think that there very well may be some truth to it. Foremost is Trump's complete lack of response or even comment on Casler's accusations. With as litigious as Trump is about NDAs, I can't understand why Trump hasn't sued Casler unless the claim has some truth to them that Trump knows will come out in a trial.

In addition to the above, several people have come out in the last year or two and started talking about Trump's smell. For example, Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger said:

I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor. It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can.

There are also plenty of pictures and videos where it certainly appears that Trump is wearing a diaper. On the whole, I think it's more likely than not that he wears diapers.
