MAGA Just Cornered Trump On the Diaper Issue, He Can’t Dodge It Now

This is a real head shaker. I will tell you in all honesty that I was mollified somewhat to find out that I’m not the only political junkie with my jaw dropped open, looking at this. Usually I can figure out what MAGA’s play is on any given day. The best that I can come up with right now is that the MAGAverse demands total endorsement and exaltation of anything Trumpian and if incontinence is on that list, well then, by Gawd, incontinence is going to a virtue that they extol. Not only extol but make memes of and post those memes in public places. Rick Wilson also found this a hard shot to call.

At first, I believed it had to be a parody—a twisted joke—a prank from the brilliant folks at the Daily Show or the Good Liars.

But…my God. It appears to be real.

I’m not the slowest guy in the room by a good stretch. I’m able to process complex, multivariate problems quickly and effectively. I read 3-5 books a week. I’m smarter than the usual circus bear.

But what in the sweet name of the baby Jesus is this madness?

What possible logic drives this? What bizarro-world “let’s own the libs by admitting that Trump craps his pants” reasoning is this? Is it the end point of some meme war they think will make America love Trump? Is it some ritual humiliation? Is this the final sign before the End Times?

In the words of the famous political scientist Jacobim Murgatu, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

But you know, when God gives you Trump Diaper stories…make ads about it. Why not? He’s going to have to deny he wears diapers soon enough. Let’s make it happen faster.

And then of course Wilson linked to the diaper commercial that Lincoln Project posted today, and which we wrote about here. This is what Trump’s donors will see on television or on their cell phones. And maybe they’re fine with that. Maybe Trump Diapers will soon be out there in production and you, too, can be a MAGA from the cradle to the grave. In fact, why even bother getting toilet trained? In this brave new world of MAGA, who needs such a thing?

And the sublime irony of the Lincoln Project doing the diaper commercial is precisely because they were cued to do so by MAGA and the merchandising geniuses who decided that Trump admitting to using diapers was a good idea. I don’t think Trump is going to think this was a good idea. Trump subscribes to old fashioned ideas about what is masculine and incontinence is not a function that falls under that heading.

Plus, these images have been going around for almost two solid years now. “DiaperDon” began trending in September, 2022. Check this article out if you haven’t read it already. That was the same time frame when the telepathic declassification of documents came to be a meme. What did we do for entertainment before Trump came along, anybody recall?

Trump’s hand is now forced, one way or the other. And there’s no gag order in force regarding his diapers or the lack thereof. He can talk freely about them.

This is one time MAGA has hung its messiah out to dry. I can’t wait to see the next move in this chess game.
