Attention on this doesn’t diminish any of the horrible atrocities committed by the Trump Admin, but it cuts at the very foundation of the “strongman” persona Trump tries so desperately to portray

A sound is audible, yeah. I can’t believe I’m using this argument but anyone in that room full of people could have farted, and it feels like the people really championing this have never watched another one of his pressers - he ends them like this all the time, the body language of the people behind him is always weird (they’re big enough freaks that they’re willing to be filmed standing behind trump).
If you want to believe trump shit his pants sure, you can do that - but the willingness of people to latch onto this and insist that it’s true (in the face of so many reasons to be skeptical), even presenting red-string-on-board evidence like in that youtube screenshot, should worry you. If you’re willing to accept this with no evidence, what else are you accepting with a similar degree of scrutiny just because it’s something you want to be true?

I think you’re taking this too seriously

I think you’re dismissing my well founded concern over the eager acceptance of misinformation because you don’t want to see it as a problem.
