Donald Trump left the crowd stunned when a loud and unmistakable sound interrupted his speech during a recent rally. Yes, you read that right—Trump appeared to fart on stage during what was already being labeled as a "disaster speech" by critics. The embarrassing moment quickly went viral, causing a social media frenzy and sparking waves of memes and jokes across the internet.
The Moment That Left Everyone Speechless
The incident occurred midway through Trump’s speech, where he was passionately addressing his supporters. While attacking his usual list of targets, including political opponents and the "fake news media," the ex-president paused, and that’s when it happened. A loud noise—undeniably a fart—echoed across the stage, leaving the crowd momentarily shocked and Trump visibly uncomfortable.
Though he tried to move on, continuing his speech as if nothing had happened, the damage was already done. Attendees could be seen laughing, and some reporters even caught the moment on camera, with the audio clearly capturing the flatulent interruption.
The Internet Reacts
It didn’t take long for the incident to explode on social media, with hashtags like #TrumpFarts and #FartGate quickly trending. Twitter users were quick to turn the moment into a meme, with countless videos, gifs, and parodies popping up across platforms. Some joked that the fart was “the most honest thing” Trump had ever said, while others couldn’t resist poking fun at his attempt to ignore the incident entirely.
Popular internet personalities and comedians chimed in, turning the incident into late-night TV fodder. Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel both took aim at Trump’s "disaster speech," with Colbert joking, "This may be the first time Trump’s speech was filled with hot air—literally!"
Trump's Response
In classic Trump fashion, the former president took to Truth Social to address the incident—though not quite in the way people expected. He dismissed the whole thing as “fake news,” claiming that the sound was a technical glitch and accusing the media of “lying” about the fart. “They’ll say ANYTHING to make me look bad. Total LIES! The FAKE NEWS is desperate,” Trump wrote.
