Former president’s body odor was called into question by a former congressman

Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican representative, encouraged people to ‘wear a mask’ when they’re in the presence of former president Donald Trump due to his apparent odor.

Mr Kinzinger, a vocal critic of Mr Trump, took to his Twitter account this week to insinuate that the former president possesses a strong smell.

“I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor,” Mr Kinzinger wrote earlier this week.

“It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can,” he added.

The accusation garnered a lot of attention on the platform, with many mocking the former president for his alleged smell.

    This is brilliant. Attack his vanity. His level of narcissism can’t function if his vanity is in question.

    Just look at how he loses his shit over any mention of a Russia golden shower tape. It doesn’t matter if it actually exists because you can still use it to troll him and influence his actions.

      My take on the piss tape: It exists - and it shows him with underaged/minor participants.

      Explains completely why trump is Putin’s obedient pet, doesn’t it? He doesn’t care for the pissing, that’s a negligible kink - but not even trump could get out of a CP law suit.

        I wouldn’t say it isn’t that…

        Donald Trump used to “stroll right in” to the dressing room of beauty pageants while the contestants - some of whom were teenagers - were naked or half-dressed, a former model has claimed.

        https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-former-miss-arizona-tasha-dixon-naked-undressed-backstage-howard-stern-a7357866.html

        Trump later recalled Epstein in those days. “Terrific guy,” he famously told New York magazine. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it—Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

          Not just former models claiming this, TRUMP HIMSELF has claimed that he’s purposely walked into underage dressing rooms.

          “You know they’re standing there with no clothes. Is everybody OK? And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that.”

        From the rumors I heard, it’s not even a pee sex tape thing. He was in a hotel room that Obama had stayed in and he was so petty that he wanted two girls to pee on the mattress as he watched in some twisted “get back at Obama” fashion. (I’m sure Obama was really hurt by that. So wounded!)

        It would have been pointlessly petty which is totally on brand for Trump.

          I have heard that too and I seriously doubt Trump would find that embarrassing or not share it for some other reason. It sounds like something he would brag about.

        My theory is that there’s no pee tape but there is tape of him with a child that looks extremely similar to his daughter.

        If the pee tape existed he would have described it in detail while claiming no such thing exists by now.

        The only reason I don’t believe this is that I completely believe that he believes he could get out of absolutely anything.

          Part of the Kompromat treatment is showing both the carrot and the stick. Trump thinks he can get away with stuff unless he’s shown his plan would fail, like using social media troll farms plant or leak details that would turn people against him. Or maybe using someone like Julian Assange as an example of Russian tying off a loose asset to show Trump that he doesn’t have an embassy to sleep in - except Russia.

          Just show Trump what he gains and how hard he would have to fight if he disagrees to flip him in an instant.

        Well, we know a FAKE tape exists, it’s mentioned in the Mueller report:

        https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/pee-tape-trump-mueller-report-823755/

        "According to the report, on October 30th, 2016, Trump’s private attorney and fixer Michael Cohen received a text from a Russian businessman involved in the Trump Tower Moscow deal, in progress for more than a year. “Stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there’s anything else. Just so you know….” Giorgi Rtskhiladze wrote to Cohen. Cohen told investigators he spoke to Trump about the issue after receiving the texts from Rtskhiladze. 

        Rtskhiladze later admitted he had been told the tapes were fake, but he did not communicate that to Cohen, the report says."

    Kinzinger is working trump like a piece of clay . It’s so easy to do and I don’t understand why more people don’t do it.

    Trumps personality disorders control every aspect of his life. He’s incapable of not responding and he’s completely unaware of how stupid and childish it makes him look.

      And he’s been this way for quite some time. A journalist once said Trump has small hands and Trump literally sent the guy photos of his hands for decades afterwards to show how big they were. (And this article was from 2015. If he’s still sending the photos, it would be over 30 years now.)

      Imagine being so insecure that you feel the need to respond to a personal slight for that long afterwards! If someone insulted my appearance on a message board in 1998, I wouldn’t still be posting there in 2023 with “proof” that they were wrong.

      Make up increasingly ridiculous accusations about Trump’s appearance, etc. and claim you heard them from a source close to Trump. When pressed on the source, say John Barron called you personally to tell you that Trump prefers pink diapers with unicorns on them or whatever.

    What?

    When reached for comment about the accusation, a spokesperson for Mr Trump returned the insult to Mr Kinzinger.

    “Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Independent.

    Not only do I doubt he ever farted on live TV, but if that spokesperson thinks a fart gives you a constant smell, they really need to visit their doctor.

    God I hope someone calls him pissboy on stage but the current crop of GOP contenders are all toadying for VP so I doubt that will happen.

      you know… I’ll take back most of the things I said about Biden if Biden does this during the regular campaign season. it’d be even better than the “Will you shut up” moment.

      He was using his bathroom in Mar A Lago as a document storage closet. it was probably more than “just” that.

    In English (UK), the word “Trump” means “fart”.

    e.g. “Eurgh! It stinks of rotten eggs! Who’s trumped?”

    “It smells bad in here. Has someone done a trump?”

    “Oh god, would you please stop trumping!”

    “Go out into the corridor if you need to trump”

    Which is more likely to happen? Republicans start questioning if Trump smells or if Republicans start pissing their pants in support of Ex President Full Diaper?
