Broken: Trump Farts at Table

At State Dinner - US Presidential Aromatic Faux Pas

London - It was reported today by an individual close to President Trump during the Buckingham Palace state dinner that the US President broke wind audibly more than once while seated near Her Majesty. Dr. Nigel Wilson of the NHS stated that such a thing is quite common in older gentlemen of expansive girth and is a hazard in close quarters, affecting the sensibilities and olfactory systems of those nearby. According to Dr. Wilson, "One simply must expect the escape of gasses when near such an odious person. It is a common hazard."

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, would not comment on this story, as one would expect of someone of her fastidious respect for proper etiquette.

of course...

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

It's just a headline I'd love to see.

Besides, I don't think there's any raw video from that state dinner that would lend itself to "customization."

I suspect that our POTUS has FLATUS that needs to be released on a frequent basis. Our journalists, though, probably would not mention it, leaving the news to be released by satirists, both professional and amateur.

Remember when Chavez spoke at the UN right after Bush and complained of the sulfur smell?
