Yeah, when people call MAGA a cult it’s not an exaggeration. These people are brainwashed to the core. They were parading around in diapers over a rumor that he might be incontinent! That’s not even remotely close to a normal reaction to unpleasant gossip. Normal would be simply dismissing it out of hand because at the end of the day there isn’t really any proof.
Even if it was true, I wouldn’t consider incontinence a disqualifier for public office. If it doesn’t impair their ability to genuinely consult experts, I don’t think physical issues should matter.
His die hard supporters will go along with almost anything. I do think there’s a line somewhere that he could cross that would cause some of them to leave, but every time some new thing comes up and they go along with it, that line moves a little farther away.
However, he needs more than just the flavor-aid connoisseurs to win an election. A lot of the people who vote for him will be doing so simply because the feel like things aren’t great and want a change. They will vote while holding their nose, or just ignoring all the insanity around Trump because after a while it turns to white noise.
Convincing those voters that Trump isn’t going to be a better alternative is possible, and it’s probably easier to convince them Trump is old and unfit than it is to win them over on policy arguments. Way too many people vote (or not) based on vibes, and this line of attack works on that level.
I’m mostly concerned that the media has immunized too many people to his madness such that they effectively chose trump years ago and haven’t at all reevaluated that decision because the media has been sane-washing everything he does.
When rumors started that he might be incontinent, his supporters started wearing diapers in solidarity. I don’t think anything will deter them.

And yet they were the ones so adamant they would never wear a “chin diaper” during Covid.

He has far worse problems.
I’m pretty sure there’s plenty of proof at this point.

Apparently that line was telling his supporters to mask and vaccinate.
