    You’d think talking about Trump’s smell would just be fluff news good for a couple of funny headlines. But then again, maybe the kind of folks who are on the fence about whether to vote for him might be the kind of folks who would be swayed by news that he stinks. If he stinks, that means he’s not the alpha male he’s somehow managed to convince the right he is.

    Much as I wish “he tried to overthrow the U.S. government” would sway people.

      The crowd voting for him thinks the fascism is agreeable, the rapes are peak alpha behaviour, the Epstein relations are edgy and fun, the wanting to fuck his daughter is relatable, and the treason a product of necessity and honestly peak patriotism.

      Body odour? Harder to do mental gymnastics with that one.

      I dunno if the meme is true but if you think about it an obese 80 yr old who lives in a humid swamp probably doesn’t smell great

        I think it’s the diapers, they probably have a scent to them to help “cover up” the shit odor. That dude that worked for him on the apprentice said he was pooping all the time.

      Take all this with a grain of salt because it’s just a theory, buuuuuuut…

      The mindset that is okay with authoritarianism is not okay with “Filth.” This is why it doesn’t give a shit about actual social issues. It sees certain groups and ideas as “Filthy.”

      Smell like loaded Depends? Filthy.

      Having worked with a two old dudes with diapers (not that there’s anything wrong with adult diapers), it gets real rancid when they just sit in it for more than a hour.

      Diaper Don must be dropping shits and just letting it sink in. And with his diet of fast food, you know those around him are getting hit hard.

      Conservative media has attacked Hillary and Aiden for their smell. It is an issue for some conservative voters.

      Has the child rapist Trump ever claimed to be an Alpha Male? Sounds like the same energy as Andrew Tate.

    I’ve worked at a nursing home, I know the smell everyone keeps talking about. It’s soiled diapers, from an old man who drinks nothing but soda and big macs.

    This sounds like an insult you’d hear little kids use. It’s ridiculous that we’re talking about a presidential candidate this way. It’s seriously pissing him off, though, so keep it up, folks!

      Strangely, I think this might be the line of attack that actually makes his cultists see through the curtain.

        His followers aren’t deceived. They know he’s a liar and petty, hateful person. This won’t open anyone’s eyes.

        I’d say the opposite. If your main play is “the guy smells”, then that’s as good as a win for anything else he’s done.

      Smart insults don’t get to him. Saying he smells like shit will really bother him. It’s great.

    If Trump was a real alpha his response would be to bottle his stank and sell it as cologne for $300 a pop.

    Ugh, seems like I can smell the pig even here. And I live in Europe. Or was that a whiff of BoJo’s musk that drifted by my nose?

    hopefully that scent will soon be blended with the musky he-man odor of bubba and big john from cell block c.
