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 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.

      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.
