Ex-GOP lawmaker describes Trump as smelling like a mix of armpits, ketchup and a butt
In an interview on The MeidasTouch Network, Adam Kinzinger didn't hold back when discussing Trump's odor
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.
-
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.
-
If I wanted to see a bunch of adult politicians throwing kindergarten insults at each other I'd watch cspan.
-
The fact that the only traction the Lincoln Project has gotten against Trump among the GOP is to point out that he smells bad just goes to show how strong his hold on the GOP is. But yeah rule 2 and such.

Still, it made me smile

I wonder if he's one of those guys that thinks washing your asshole is gay.
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.

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 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.

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.
-
I can't tell of you are being sarcastic, humorous or a sociopath.

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
-
-
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.

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.
-
That's probably an approximation of what he's actually comprised of.
-
I imagine that's what the computer chair smells like in the managers office at McDonald's
-
Ugh, why did this description take me there? I can smell it
-
-
Huh, I would have guessed it would be more of a urine and mildew smell.

The Batmobile did lose a wheel...

Fuck it. If it hurts Trump’s feelings I’m in. Nothing substantial matters to him or his cult, you’re not going to get em with policy. The path is bullying, straight up. It works.
-
Bob Woodward said he could smell Trump's diaper was full.
Bob is a reliable source.
-
That was fake, from a satirical Twitter account.
(Note "Parody by Back Rub" text at the end.)

Has stormy confirmed this?
-
Shittler.
-
I don't even care if this is agitprop, it gave me a little chuckle and I'm in no position to deny myself a little joy
-
From a dominance-oriented right-wing “alpha male” point of view, that would be a bonus. A strong odour is a way of asserting dominance and marking territory, and personal hygiene is for betas.
His UK counterpart, Boris “Big Dog” Johnson, apparently had a habit of not changing his socks every day, to the point where it was noticeable. There’s something about people who see themselves as “alphas” imposing their odours on underlings.
-
I would imagine his diet could make him smell that way. From what I understand certain foods, like garlic, if consumed consistently for a period of time can make a person's sweat garlicky.
-
Insofar as I recall he eats fast food out of fear of being poisoned, chugs diet coke, and wears adult diapers, though the last one is rumor that is very likely true rather then well documented fact.
So with that diet and lifestyle in mind puzzle pieces start to come together.
-
He says it's out of fear of being poisoned, but he routinely tells incredibly obvious lies.
I think he just eats like the worlds most spoiled toddler because he wants to and picked the excuse with the most self-importance and bravado.
-
-
-
So he's a 15 year old teen boy who doesn't use antiperspirant because he doesn't sweat or stink and he just took a shower two days ago how bad could it be?
Don't forget never flossing. I brushed my teeth! Then ate again and drank soda before bed. Huh? A water flosser blasts out half a ribeye and and other gunk even after brushing? Whatever, I'll just get another crown.
-
There's no way he doesn't stink. He's like 80.
-
Don't shit talk most 80 year olds that smell just fine. Yeah, some say fuck it and stop using deodorant. Some go over the top and use too much perfume. Everyone has their unique odors, whether that be old people, asian, black, white, MENA, periods. God I felt for those teen girls who were having bad days and you had your nose at crotch level on the public bus.
I was surprised for the longest time that many (most I've met) women didn't even know it had a smell. Puberty smells, period... Lol.
The people who brush every day but never use toothpaste like a badge of honor... Deodorant but not antiperspirant since they don't want white stuff in their pits but don't realize it runs out after only 3 hours or so.
-
-
-
I can believe that none of the sycophants in Trump's orbit would tell him that he smells. Or any other kind of criticism, for that matter.
One does not simply criticize one's meal ticket.
-
Sounds about right. That guy looks like the type that eats no real fruits and vegetables, nothing but the worst of the carnist/SAD selections. So, yeah....checks out.
I always figured he might be the type to slap on some anal gland secretions, oops, I mean, "cologne", to cover it up.
-
So that's what treason smells like.

I don’t doubt it but ugh, it’s just Kinzinger seeking attention yet again and MeidasTouch is the outlet for taking some milquetoast void-shouting and reporting it as an EVISCERATION
