we hear about wads of paper with print on it clogging the pipes from Trump's White House toilet. It is being ASSUMED that he simply THREW the paper into the toilet and flushed.

Is it possible he has some digestive problems and that the wads of paper were "deposited" in the toilet in another way?

After all, no matter what the problem we are told to remember: "This, too, shall pass!"

1. Oh come on, so the guy likes to eat paper. Who doesn't! Let trump be trump. In jail (Nt)

[TheBlackAdder]

24. Unlike osmosis to learn something by placing it under a pillow at night, Trump ingested it instead.

.

That's why he has such a big brain.

2. geez. All that fiber....

You'd think one wouldn't need 14 flushes per restroom visit

[tavernier]

25. Omg, that's why he said it takes 14 flushes.

He thinks everyone flushes their trash in the toilet.

[scipan]

37. It's the toilet's fault for not being able to flush

his papers down. It’s never his fault. For anything.

[tavernier]

40. I don't have any left to give

But ❤️ For your statement, “It’s never his fault.”
So true!

[scipan]

41. Aw thanks for the thought.

Someone else took pity on me so I am no longer heartless.

[Hortensis]

3. Hmmm, did tRump first eat the wads of paper found clogging his toilet

now and then, or just try to flush them right down?

Link to tweet

Axios: Trump was, at times, fixated on toilets that wouldn't flush, as The Washington Post's Philip Bump noted.

I remember hearing about that and being surprised that the plumbing of the President's personal potty wasn't to modern standards.

28. Perfectly normal. Who doesn't eat paper and shit it out and clog the toilet?

What was he hiding that was so important???

[Walleye]

4. OK now I'm laughing. This stuff is straight out of a movie or something

5. There actually is an eating disorder called "Pica" where

people eat stuff not normally considered food -- paper, for example.

Or perhaps lardass just went into periodic feeding frenzies where he ate anything within reach. Maybe that's where his NEW and IMPROVED health care plan went.

[dewsgirl]

6. My best friend had PICA, hers was only ice..but

she destroyed her teeth and has implants now. I can't imagine eating dirt or dryer lint, but our bodies know how to tell us something is wrong.
(I believe pica is the most common amongst pregnant women, at least that's the context I usually hear/read about it in reference to)

[LastDemocratInSC]

9. Xylophagia is the paper version of pica.

[dewsgirl]

11. I learned about it in lamaze class in 1997,

other than when my friend had it in 2000, I rarely see it mentioned.

12. "I Made You An Infrastructure Plan, But I Eated It" nt

19. So THAT is why Infrastructure Week went on for years!

7. you are supposed to peel the burgers first I think...

[dameatball]

16. Ha! That's where I was heading as well.

[SheilaAnn]

8. I wish Mel Brooks were a bit younger, could he write this up or what?...LOL. n/t

[AZLD4Candidate]

18. The "Gov" in Blazing Saddles foresaw Moron45.

[RussBLib]

10. so THAT is why he complained about toilets

they would not reliably flush his secrets down the drain.

I have to wonder why he complained so much about showers.

[scipan]

38. I don't think I want to know!

[Smackdown2019]

13. So the man like paper

So when McDonald's was ordered, did he eat the bag as a snack as well?

[Jarqui]

14. I had a friend who had that problem

He'd eat his notebooks and textbooks.
He'd eat his clothes too.

He commented on it "Ties go in a few bites, shirts are gone in a few gulps, but chewy chewy tuxedo goes on and on"
(based on the Tootsie roll commercial)

[Midnight Writer]

15. How long before the MAGAs seize on paper-eating as a Covid cure?

[MissMillie]

17. for the fiber, no doubt (n/t)

[KS Toronado]

26. You got me LOL

[llashram]

20. he's just a crude

ill-bred, foul, gross, cloddish, smutty, savage, indecent, crass, indecent, lewd, obscene, inelegant uncouth human being. Can one imagine how he must have been laughed at and cruelly joked about, behind his back, at the meetings with other leaders on the world stage? He's a barnyard animal. Barnyard animals forgive me. They are smarter than TPOSFG.

[Wicked Blue]

35. You forgot vulgar

[llashram]

36. ++

[L. Coyote]

21. Should someone write a paper about this? Depends.

[CaptainTruth]

22. Could this be why no one ever saw his secret plan to defeat ISIS in 30 days?

[Harker]

23. He could've eaten Scotch tape, too, and saved others

a lot of time and effort.

[lagomorph777]

29. Or staples.

[Harker]

30. Eric already ate all of the paste.

[lagomorph777]

31. LOL!

32. Now we know why tfg

Insisted on removing water saving restrictions on household appliances and toilets.

[DeeNice]

33. I'm considering the source on this one.

34. The White House Plumbers

39. I wish he'd eat his own face. n/t
