Over the years, there have been wide-spread rumors that Donald Trump has a certain signature aroma that has rarely been described as being good, which the former president has taken great offense at. On December 16, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill. threw his take on this subject into the mix via a now viral social media post, writing, “I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor. It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can.” And he doubled down on that in a recent interview on The MeidasTouch Network.
On the subject of a Trump spokesperson firing back at Kinzinger’s claim with, “Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud," Kinzinger went in even harder.
Trying his hand at Smell-O-Vision, the former GOP lawmaker went into greater detail about the way Trump smells, saying, “It’s not good. The best way to describe it . . . take armpits, ketchup, a butt and makeup and put that all in a blender and bottle that as a cologne. That’s kind of that. I’ve been amazed that everybody is just kind of learning about this now.”
Let’s discuss whether this kind of article should be allowed in the future, since this violates rule 2, it’s only very tangentially relevant to politics.
Still, it made me smile
If I wanted to see a bunch of adult politicians throwing kindergarten insults at each other I’d watch cspan.
I think there could be a reasonable discussion in the context of his mental competence. Worsening personal hygiene is a red flag for dementia, etc.
That said, the “hurr hurr smells liek butt” level of rhetoric is probably unproductive and shouldn’t be condoned.
I wonder if he’s one of those guys that thinks washing your asshole is gay.
You think he can reach his asshole?
“Hand daddy his washing rag!”
Why would he need to when republicans lick his ass clean non stop
There used to be a very coveted job in feudal England. The Groom of the Stool. Their job was to wipe the king’s ass after he took a shit.
One of those guys? Is this a thing?
It’s enough of an issue that Redd Foxx had a comedy special on record back in 1975 called “you gotta wash your ass”

Some people just don’t know it’s something they need to do, and perhaps become nose-blind: Though I’ve seen several social media recounts of male partners that think actually scrubbing their ass is weird.
Saying Kinzinger farted on tv is hilarious because Rudy has 100% done that
Also not a denial
Also not the same as a constant stench.
“A president that smells bad is a weak president. My presidents should only smell of old spice and leather.”
I hear President Camacho smells like Axe body spray.
More like Brawndo. It’s what constituents crave.
It’s got electorates!
Hold on I’m baitin.

I realize we can talk about multiple things at once, but I feel like this inconsequential stuff like odor and color is completely irrelevant. There can be an absolutely moral, helpful person who smells, looks orange, stands weird, has small hands, etc.
The problem with Trump isn’t his odor or appearance-- it’s that he’s a genocidal maniac who’s the figurehead for an organized and influential group of far-right extremists. Even if he smelled like roses, he’d still be bad.
I don’t give a fuck how he smells. It’s a non-issue.
