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.”
“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 wonder if he’s one of those guys that thinks washing your asshole is gay.
You think he can reach his asshole?
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.
“Hand daddy his washing rag!”
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.
We are literally at the point of American politics where a politician has described a presidential candidate as smelling like a butt.
THIS HAPPENED
Cmon, don’t be so reductionalist and sensationalistic. I swear, you’re just like the liberal media taking things out of context. That’s not what he really said. You left out 2/3rds of his odor profile for Christ’s sake! It’s not all butt!
Ketchup, armpit, and odeur de poo—the holy trinity of McDonald’s-for-every-meal smells.
^ former politician, just saying
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.
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.
The sad thing is, the kind of peaked-in-highschool voter that voted for Trump and can be swung absolutely will care about how he smells. I can hear it now, “I’m not voting for some stinky old man” “I thought the diapers thing was a myth”
This kind of low blow absolutely will have effect if they can make it stick. A sad day for democracy? Definitely. But that’s the media environment of today.
Also it gives opponents a chance to needle dick him in debates which will cause him to fly into a rage and embarrass himself. God only knows what TMI he might rave about, his bathroom habits etc. Even tiny jabs like “do I have to be the guy to sit next to Trump” have huge rage potential.
I think you are onto something here. Also, cons are known for reacting to things that are “gross”. That’s the way they are wired. Getting them to understand that donnie diapers is physically gross and repellent may have more of an effect than trying to explain how he’s awful for this country.
Huh, that’s a neat article. Thanks for linking it!
I think this is more karmic, nobody would be talking about this if he wasn’t such an immature baby who has been calling names his whole political career. It doesn’t really matter, but I also think it’s not the kind of thing that leftists would be talking about at all if it wasn’t so deserved at this point.
I don’t really see leftists talking about this at all tbh. Most leftists I encounter are more centered on ideologies and actual problems.
That’s because he’s so blatantly incompetent at pretty much everything that insulting his looks just feels like a low blow.
But after he made fun of that disabled news reporter the gloves came off and this fat, stinky, rotten, tiny hands having, insurrectionist, orange™ needs thrown in the trash.
I just don’t like punching down.
Body shaming is always a form of punching down, because it affects other innocent people besides just the target.
Focus on real issues.
I dunno, making fun of Shaq for being tall AF is kind of punching up.
Lol true
Kinzinger left politics to sit in the peanut gallery and make Trump’s life hell. This dumb non-issue is exactly the type that gets under Trump’s skin, that’s probably reason enough for Kinzinger to keep pushing it.
I mean, it’s still kind of funny. Is it relevant to his ability to govern? Not at all. Is it hilarious to watch these morons get in a petty little slap fight about it? Yeah.
As an LGBT+ person who has loved ones being detained and deported, I wish you’d spend more effort getting riled up over these things instead
This is a real dumb take. Saying something is funny is not the same as saying you’re riled up about it, and nowhere in the same universe as saying, “this is the only thing I care about.” Believe it or not, I can think this is amusing while also still paying attention to issues that are a lot more important.
Also dumb because I’m a giant queer in Denver, so both of those two causes are near and dear to my heart, but you had to come in making a bunch of assumptions for no reason.
Who are the leftists getting riled up over this? This is a slightly more centrist right-wing group slinging childish insults while the left looks at them confused.
Nobody who cares about you and your family members was going to vote for Trump anyways. If weird poop jokes moves someone who was going to vote for Trump to think twice and maybe not vote at all, it’s a win.
Did you reply to the wrong person here? Where did I claim leftists were getting riled up over this? I even said in another comment that it seems to me leftists are concerned with the actual issues.

I agree too. But at the same time there is a subset of the voting population that care about things like this or Hillary Clinton’s cankles.
Yeah, seems weird and counter-productive. Wish we could change that.
You’re right.
What better way to show that he’s unhinged by slowly breaking the facade he’s cultivated and watching him squirm/lash out?
He’s losing his money.
He’s losing his image.
We just have to pray he loses the election, I think that will be the final nail in the coffin (alongside things like the criminal cases coming to their obvious conclusions).
That’s weird. I’d think the nail in the coffin would be the genocidal lunacy and fascism, but I suppose too many people don’t see those as problem enough since they’re not directly impacted by such things.
Isn’t Melania leaving, too?
They already said he’s losing his money
It is a non issue. It is also not unlikely for Trump to go completely nuclear over this, hopefully showing a few more folks what a moron he is.
I don’t know. There are certainly more substantive reasons to dislike him. (And they apparently haven’t dissuaded his continued supporters) But do you think that (outside of someone who is struggling) when someone regularly smells bad, it says something about their decision making ability and character? I kind of do. The sort of person who doesn’t bath regularly or wash their clothes regularly is also not the sort of person who should be in charge of the United States. From a campaign perspective I think people have an emotional reaction to a literal bad smelling person.
No, I don’t think so. I think it’s a reach to assume someone is inept at other unrelated things based on something like odor, and I think it’s certainly an ignorant reason to vote one way or another. Judging someone’s body seems so fashy to me.
When that person’s job is to be front person for your country? Smelly people are less able to do diplomacy. They are less able to get people to like them up close.
Ok, would you hire a noticeably smelly lawyer?
Yes

While I absolutely agree with you, apparently his supporters do not. They hold their cult leader up like he’s some kind of god. If pointing out something like this makes people think twice about putting him up on that pedestal, I’m all for it, especially if it makes him, like it already has, jump up like my 11 year old to defend himself against these attacks.
Here’s what I said to someone else. I’m going to copy/paste because I don’t want to type it all again:
Maybe I’m too soft hearted, but my problem is that this sort of thing can hurt innocent bystanders. For example, there are really stellar humans who may have a bad odor due to a medical condition, neurodivergence, or even lack of access to hygiene products and running water.
There are great people who look funny, or have small hands, or who are uniquely complected (or maybe just not very skilled with hair and makeup, but they’re trying.
You know what would really make Trump seethe? Abolish ICE, close the detention centers, declare all anti-POC and anti-trans laws unconstitutional (because they are). Legalize cannabis and release everyone who is wrongfully incarcerated. Help people with unwanted pregnancy gain access to abortion and birth control. Empower the working class, support and broaden the scope of unions. That would REALLY make him seethe without hurting other people in the crossfire
I don’t care about making Trump seethe. I care about making sure people don’t vote for him. Doing everything in your last paragraph will just give him red meat to throw to his supporters and say “see?”
I want his people to look at him and realize he isn’t the strong, powerful man they think he is. If this comes at the cost of offending some people with small hands or people who smell bad, I’m okay with this. There’s much more at stake here than making sure we don’t offend anyone along the way.
I don’t see how any of this is a justification for body shaming. If anything, you’re driving people away by engaging in things like body shaming and bigotry.
Focus on the issues. This is not one. And no, winning an election does not justify bad behavior. That’s … so counterproductive, like it’s exactly why I wouldn’t want to vote for someone.
These people have made it abundantly clear they don’t care about the issues. Or, at least, they can view the facts in anyway they want to (including outright ignoring them) to justify Trump being the one better to address their issues. They think he is a one-man god that can come in and fix everything. They’ve been conned by a charismatic cult leader.
I’ve been doing the facts and focusing on issues for years now and have only watched more people flock to him. He’s a genius at selling himself.
I’m not saying Biden should go out and start saying that Trump smells. And considering I’m not running for office, so I don’t care about being elected, I don’t particularly care that you wouldn’t want to vote for me. Hell, I wouldn’t vote for myself. lol
And if body shaming Trump makes him fall apart and makes these people wake up and realize what a weak pile of insecurity this man is, then I’m all for it. As I said, more at stake here than making sure people who smell bad are comfortable with smelling bad. That’s among the things I care the least about. I care about this country falling into fascism where it might lead to far worse things for “undesirables” then being made to feel bad that people said Trump smells.

I think it’s valuable to hit people like Trump on their level.
He gives no fucks about being called a bigot or crook, but you know he’s seething over this being in the news cycle and whenever he’s all upset he says more dumb shit that hopefully gets him more criminal charges.
Maybe I’m too soft hearted, but my problem is that this sort of thing can hurt innocent bystanders. For example, there are really stellar humans who may have a bad odor due to a medical condition, neurodivergence, or even lack of access to hygiene products and running water.

You’re too soft hearted and this comment is absolutely performative garbage. No innocent bystandard is going to be harmed by making fun of a smelly billionaire…
I prefer trolls who at least try to be clever or funny
LoL, not everyone who’s not a soft little whiner is a troll. Some of us live in reality and manage quite well not being an absolute removed about every single negative comment that exists in the universe.
Breaking: Old overweight sweaty man smells bad
I’ve been amazed that everybody is just kind of learning about this now.
When you spend all your time with Senators, campaign mega-donors, and the creepy sociopath lobbyists, I assume you kinda lose your sense for it.
He’s also incontinent. Dude shits himself daily. Literally.
Not unusual for dudes pushing 80. Half the Senate is in diapers.
Trump has been since he was 40, due to all the speed and cocain. Not the same
Real alpha men make the whole room smell their shit. I held my executive meetings in my private bathroom the morning after a drunken late night Taco Bell run. There’s no more alpha feeling than making an underling try to persuade you on some issue they care about with their eyes watering from your pungent alpha stench.
I can’t tell of you are being sarcastic, humorous or a sociopath.

Didn’t LBJ do exactly that?
He wasn’t a madman. He had a gargantuan schlong and the confidence that brings to a lot of situations is immense.
He probably dicktated policy whilst helicoptering.
Hey America how’s it going?

Do you honestly believe this? Even as the world becomes more multipolar and US sanctions become increasingly impotent.
no it was sarcasm. it’s obvious that the country is falling in relevancy since 2016
it is hard to tell sometimes online :)
Our leaders arguing about farts and armpit smells. Anyways, Trump does look like he would smell, I mean he’s always sweaty looking and fat. He is really fat.
our leaders
Kinzinger is now a “senior political consultant” for CNN, and Trump is a smelly bankrupt fraud whose best hope of avoiding prison is a constitutional crisis. I wouldn’t call either of them leaders lol
This is where we’re at as a country.
Can’t wait what 2024 brings us
The country’s literally funding and supporting a genocide right now, can it even get any worse?
Yep. We could bring the habit home again. Va
To all MAGA and Republicants: You shouldnt vote for someone who smells like shit. Babys smell like shit. Would you vote for a baby?
Babies are prohibited from running for POTUS by the Constitution, but if that baby promised them unlimited power, a nationwide abortion ban, and the ability to use campaign funds on hookers and blow, they’d definitely add an amendment to be able to vote for that baby.
With the main candidates being over 75 they’re probably wearing diapers too
Jesus was a baby. Proof.
Add in the adderall sweats and the cologne he wears to cover it all up and you have a walking human garbage dump odor.
Here’s an interview with a guy who used to work on the Apprentice about this and other trump nonsense:
https://www.noelcasler.com/news/full-disclosure-an-interview-with-noel-casler
Thanks for this. Strangely I don’t think I had heard from Noel Casler, despite his interesting history with T**** and many others.
Trump has been using grade-school insults for his whole political career. The only surprise here is how long it took for others to reciprocate. #orangemansmellsbad
In other words, he smells exactly the way you’d expect him to smell.
Shits going to smell like shit.
