Whether it is a latrine, cesspool, septic tank, clogged toilet--- all "roads" end with Trump and his BS.

about having to flush the toilet “10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once”. Now we know what he was taking about. I always just thought he was having so much difficulty because he is so full of shit.

I guess that's just an indication of how exhausted we were. "Trump's shits are so big he has to flush 10-15 times... and he just up and told the world about it?!?! Well, okay...."

it exploded into public awareness so fast they're forced to cover it, big headlines of denial:

Trump denies report claiming he regularly clogged White House toilets by flushing documents: ‘Fake story’ 'Categorically untrue and simply made up by a reporter in order to get publicity for a mostly fictitious book,' Trump said


Loyalists will be eager to swallow that, but the yucky visual and sheer ridiculousness may mean some won't be able to make it go away even with 10 or 15 attempts.
