So as I'm sure you're aware right now, the Midas Touch Network had previously interviewed people like Adam Kinzinger who were around Donald Trump who attested to Donald Trump's putrid smell. We shared with you how the Von Schitzenpans name for Donald Trump was first discussed on an episode of Political Beatdown about six or seven months ago on the Midas Touch Network. We broke the story here on the Midas Touch Network from very credible sources in the courtroom, how Donald Trump would kind of

fall asleep and pass gas during the early stages of the trial. Let's just take a look at this fact check, though, by Snopes on a important issue, I guess. Did Donald Trump supporters wear diapers at rallies? Are they wearing diapers at rallies? Because they're trying to get ahead of the fact that Donald Trump smells and all of that. So images show real people holding signs that say, real men wear diapers. And the claim that's being made was Donald Trump supporters are wearing diapers at rallies in the spring of 2024 and holding signs that say, real men wear diapers. This is what the Trump supporters were wearing. And I mean, we discussed it before. And so for those saying, oh, why are you saying, don't make these things up? We're not, we're not. And I think it is important, again, as a data point to talk about that this is just

what they're doing at events, that they're showing up at events. And, you know, like one of the things that they were also doing at events before this is they had these P cones. I think they're called like P cone. They would, they would pee into these cones at the event, which I understand that if you got to go, you got to go. But they would sell the pea cones, I'm saying, or pea funnels. They would sell the pea funnels next to hot coffee and pea funnels are being sold at these events. And now at these Trump events, they're actually wearing diapers and they're saying real men wear diapers.

And that's like a thing that's happening at MAGA events. So you've got the pea funnels and you've got the thing that says real men wear diapers. And look, I truly am trying to approach this with a level of sensitivity. I'm not trying to reflect on the status of our politics in the United States of America, where you are dealing with P funnels and real men wear diapers and real women wear diapers as a thing that's happening for a political candidate, the leader of the Republican Party, whose lawyer is complaining about him being called von Schitzenpanz. Like, I'm not sure I want, maybe not the nuclear codes to that guy. Maybe, maybe. So here's what Snopes or Snoop says. In April and May 2024, reports circulated that supporters of 2024 Republican presidential candidate and former United States President Donald Trump were gathering at rallies and wearing diapers. Here, at Mom's Skeleton, American history and court records, Don Von Schitzenpans, GOP cult flags, diapers, and real men wear diapers. And so you see at these events, you've got women wearing diapers.

You've got men wearing diapers. You've got a whole crowd here in this photo of people wearing diapers. You've got men wearing diapers. You've got a whole crowd here in this photo of people wearing diapers at this event, as you can see in the photo. It talks about how several users made posts. And on April 24th, the blog Dispatches from Trumpland posted photographs of just one of the many rallies where this is happening. This one happened to take place at Pennsylvania. The same blog had another post about Trump and diapers on April 11th. According to the post, Trump supporters began to appear at rallies donning diapers and holding signs, real men wear diapers. Some of them reportedly nicknamed the former president Diaper Don,

and one woman wore a sweater that said diapers over Dems. We found some of the clothes they wore for sale, though we weren't able to establish when those designs were posted for purchase. It may have been after the purported trend went viral. We noticed that the photographs that circulated all came from dispatches from Trumpland, so we contacted the writers of the blog to ask for more details about the rallies. The writer replied that the photographs posted on April 11th had been taken at rallies in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Detroit. He added that he took the photographs in the April 24 post himself in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania. He also shared an article from the Greensboro News and Record published March 2nd, 2024,

that included a photograph of a man identified as Alfredo Alcala, who wore a red t-shirt that said real men wear diapers. He also shared a February 17, 2024 post on X by Nick Smith, a reporter at Gong War News Service, a Michigan-based outlist that focuses on state politics, who posted four photographs, including one of Trump's supporters standing outside of a snow-covered ground, who held a banner that had the same slogan because this trend was documented in coverage by reputable news outlets in addition to reports by dispatchers. We have rated this claim as true. And then they go through, the next one is Donald Trump's smell and his scent and how badly does he smell.

I suppose what seems to be happening, I guess what Trump supporters are doing, I don't want to make, I don't know. Here's what I mean. I guess a charitable explanation is like the way MAGAs came up with, like, let's go Brandon as a way to curse out President Biden. And it meant F you to President Biden by saying, let's go, Brandon. And then so Biden kind of reframed the issue as dark Brandon and then the dark Brandon persona, because they were saying,

let's go Brandon. And then president Biden said, okay, well, this is dark Brandon. And then, you know, president Biden did like the cool memes with, you know, that, that, that look, that look interesting and fun. And so I think this is MAGA's way of doing that. Their version of it is, oh, if you're going to call him, if you're going to say he wears diapers, if you're going to say he smells, we are all going to wear diapers at events and we're going to go full-fledged diapers. And so that's a thing that happens at these events that it's diapers for Donald and then they, and then they wear them. So that's, what's going on there. I mean, I'll, I'll, I'll show you, um, here as well. I mean,

there's, there's more of this. So it's from some other outlets as well. This was, this was the dispatches from trumpland.com that I was talking about. Just, you see some photos here, proud American here is real men wear diapers. Lots of Trump people wearing diapers, hats with diapers on it. Dispatches from Trump land showing the same. As I said, look, I had Adam Kinzinger. You remember my interview with Adam Kinzinger? I did.

Remember what Kinzinger said, former Republican congressman. He was around Donald Trump here's what he first let me show you Trump next to the late Senator Dianne Feinstein let me show you that one first when Trump was in office

and you can see what he does right next to her like her face here play this clip so today we're here in a bipartisan fashion to show leadership in an effort to end this senseless violence. And it can be ended. Then let me show you.

This was my interview with Adam Kinzinger. I just wanted to show you that first one first here. Play this clip. 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. Then Donald Trump responded to that, and he had his team go after you and say, no, Kinzinger is the one who's smelly. And as Hillary Clinton said, if you could be baited by a tweet, how are you supposed to be expected to handle Vladimir Putin and other authoritarians?

And Donald Trump clearly got baited by your tweet and your post. But let's just start with your post. The odor, the stench, the stink. How bad is it? What do you know about that? Yeah, I mean, it's not good i mean think about the best way to describe it i've tried to like so take like armpits ketchup uh like a butt and kind of put it in a blender and makeup and put that all in a blender and that's and you bottle that as a cologne that's kind of that um but it's amazing. I've been amazed that everybody's just kind of like learning about this now. But again, I think the bigger point is he's a weak human being. But look at this. He had his people respond to me on this. By the way, they're always

unnamed spokesmen because none of them want to put their names, even though I think I know who's doing this, like they don't want to put their names behind that because they know that their words are going to live forever. And like, my goodness, I mean, Vladimir Putin, I'm going to tell you, Xi, President Xi of China, they're licking their chops at the idea of another Donald Trump term. Because I sat in the Oval Office once when Donald Trump begged a group of us to pull China's ZTE out of the sanctions list from the National Defense Authorization Act because he made a personal promise to President Xi because she asked him nicely on the phone. I mean, this is the kind of leader, you know, of the greatest country in the world that we're looking at reinstating. And the odor is the odor. And, you know, I think

that needs to stay alive. People need to keep talking about it because he's the kind of guy that would use something like that all the time against other people. He needs a taste of his own medicine. And then remember, this was him with the president of Turkey where he seems to have done the same thing and you can see the face of Erdogan here play this clip. Look there's a lot of issues with these MAGA events. I don't mean to just focus on that one. I thought it was interesting that, you know, that Snoops, they fact check these claims and assertions. Fact check true. Look, these events start with Donald Trump doing the J6th anthem.

And then like a voice comes on and it was like, now we are singing for the unfairly treated hostages. We've changed the lyrics to the national anthem and join us and sing the J6 anthem. Like that's the beginning of all of his events is the J6 anthem. Play this clip. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise and place your hand over your heart for the number one song on iTunes, Amazon, and the billboard charts justice for all featuring president donald j trump and the j6 choir And so like, that's what's like, you got that. Then Trump talks about how he'd rather be like electrocuted than eaten by sharks. That's part of these events.

Play this clip. But if I'm sitting down and that boat's going down and I'm on top of a battery, and the water starts flooding in, I'm getting concerned. But then I look 10 yards to my left and there's a shark over there. So I have a choice of electrocution or shock. You know what I'm going to take? Electrocution. I will take electrocution every single time. Do we agree? I will take electrocution. And then he makes these like, he makes these like strange noises and does these weird things. Like this happens during the speeches.

Play this clip. Magic. It's bad news. Bad things are happening. Mom, I'm sorry. It was staring us in the face the whole time, Michael Cohen. You understand what he's doing? Like, eh, eh.

Donald Von Schitzenpence. That's what he was doing. He was trying to figure out a way how he can sort of squeeze that sucker out. Right? And he's going, eh, eh, eh, eh. It's like, you know, when you see like your baby when they're constipated. That's what Donald's doing. Yeah.

And then just like even just throughout the day, he's posting QAnon memes. He's attacking his former vice president, Mike Pence, and saying that Pence was trying to overthrow the election against him and that Pence is involved in a conspiracy with Nancy and Pelosi and President Biden against him. This is not normal. I'm reminded of what California Governor Gavin Newsom said recently in a post where there's a Washington Post story where Trump's out there trying to bribe oil executives. Like, if you give my campaign a billion dollars, I'll let you write any executive orders you want for me and I'll just I'll pass anything. He's got to give me a billion dollars. And Gavin Newsom's like, are we, we're going to make this normal? Like this is supposed to be normal now. Like it shouldn't be like, what, what, what the heck? Like, what is the, what the heck? And this is where I go. This is where I go. This isn't a Democrat. This isn't a Republican thing. This is just some, this is some bizarre, this is some a Democrat. This isn't a Republican thing. This is just some bizarre,

this is some strange stuff that's now happening and is weird. And I just want us all to unite and just be like, no, none of that, get away. Tell me what you think in the comments below.
