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.”
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?
Is this where our discourse has gone? Jingle bells batman smells, good luck and good night.
Iirc Adams said Jackson’s mother was a prostitute and Jackson said Adams was a hermaphrodite.
Ryan and Michael, respectively? 😛
“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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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
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.
