Down the toilet that overloaded the holding tanks and unbalanced the plane.

Don't know if that's correct, but some people are saying.

Hmm, wonder who might have been responsible?

I always think of that when I watch people (especially the women) stand right next to him or even hug him. Karoline Leavitt always stands very close to him and looks up at him with lovey-dovey eyes. And Hope Hicks!! She used to get face to crotch and ass to steam the wrinkles our of his clown pants. Everyone says he smells. Yikes!
