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.”

    We are literally at the point of American politics where a politician has described a presidential candidate as smelling like a butt.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:

    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
