Donald Trump’s comedy ‘fart’ during that extraordinary phone call went viral because, well, listen

You might have heard the recording of that extraordinary phone call in which Donald Trump appears to ask Georgia’s top election official to ‘find 11,780 votes’ – just the number he needs to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the state.

You can read our favourite things people had to say about it here.

But there was one apparent ‘moment’ which is in danger of getting overlooked. Not the most important moment, obviously, but would be a shame to miss it.

This is from 51mins 40secs in to the call. Donald Trump farts then says, “excuse me”. pic.twitter.com/P4d0Y6gUpW

Thank goodness they were only on the phone.

Haha I had just listened to this and my husband walks in the room and said "it's the demise of our country. What are you laughing for?" 🤣

It’s no pee tape, but it will have to do

There were naturally some doubts about the authenticity of the clip.

I just fact-checked this and it is 100 percent true https://t.co/RqVW5MYjy2

Whatever the truth, we’re pretty sure this one isn’t.

And it took us back to this clip of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani which kicked up a stink last month.
