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 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.

        Who are the leftists getting riled up over this? This is a slightly more centrist right-wing group slinging childish insults while the left looks at them confused.

        Nobody who cares about you and your family members was going to vote for Trump anyways. If weird poop jokes moves someone who was going to vote for Trump to think twice and maybe not vote at all, it’s a win.

          Did you reply to the wrong person here? Where did I claim leftists were getting riled up over this? I even said in another comment that it seems to me leftists are concerned with the actual issues.
