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.

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.

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.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

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

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.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago

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.

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.

This is LITERAL 5 year old level insult slinging going on between the ex president and an ex congressman. Im so sick of politicians being such pathetic wastes of space

Also, since Trump isn't president and his company is being shut down, isn't he unemployed too?

[-] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

You mean angrily typing into your phone to post messages on TruthSocial all day until 3 a.m. and then starting again 2 hours later isn't a job?

"Body odor"

It's probably the shit in his diaper.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

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?

This guy, with whom I probably disagree on policy in 90% of cases, is the only damn republican who never got behind Trump and the only republican worthy of respect.
