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.”

    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.

      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

        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…

            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 bitch about every single negative comment that exists in the universe.
