What does he smell like?

Depends.

[–] furzegulo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 10 months ago

like a five penny fascist

[–] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

loser. That is why none of them can smell it. They are all massive stinking losers. They're just nose blind to it.

Gotta love the Streisand effect on display. Wouldn't have known he smells if they hadn't "fired back."

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 71 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Are you sure about that? Because every picture I see of the seditious fuck makes him look like he smells of hamberder grease and dirty adult diapers.

[–] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Well, let's just say them fighting hard to say he doesn't confirm all of our suspicions.

This is incredible:

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.

“He has disgraced his country and disrespects everyone around him because he is a sad individual who is mad about how his miserable life has turned out.”

Kinzinger just gave us a masterclass on how to troll Trump. Not only is this a “no, YOU smell bad!” Kindergarten-level retort, but it’s also just an ad-hominem attack on Kinzinger from Trump’s lawyers, and it’s pointedly NOT a refutation. They know it’s true, and they know it’s trivially provable. And I feel pretty certain Trump has been screaming at them to sue for slander or whatever, and the lawyers are probably like “nope. You do smell. We will lose. It won’t be close.” I genuinely hope it drives him to distraction. And I hope it comes up in the debates. I hope the Democratic nominee (I know, almost certainly Biden, but a guy can hope) visibly reacts to Trump coming near them with visible, uncontrollable disgust. I hope news orgs take this and run with it like a dog with a bone. I want EVERYONE in the Republican sphere to constantly be talking about how godawful Trump smells.

[–] Tosti@feddit.nl 24 points 10 months ago

Not a refutation... Excellent.
This really is the dumbest timeline isn't it?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

You know they won't because the media is owned by right wingers

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 54 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He's an old fat guy with a poor diet, of course he smells.

I don't really care if he smells, but I think it's really funny that they care that somebody said it.

Melania always seemed to have a look on her face like someone just farted. I now know why.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Would be hilarious if there was a whole bank of Melania photos where she's smiling from ear to ear when she's not around him.

Jingle bells

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (6 children)

Ok, now I have to take a crack at it.

Jingle bells,

Pro-se-cute him all the way!

Oh, whata time

It's not hard to believe. He did once enter Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

Too bad that one aide didn't get the memo and told him about the cheeto dust on his mask when he was touring the factory

[–] Tremble@sh.itjust.works 35 points 10 months ago

Now this might actually get his base riled up.

But if the campaign said he doesn’t, he definitely smells.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 30 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I never heard anyone talk about Trump's smell until seeing this so a. You know he smells. And b. Now I do, too.

They should check out the Economy in Slovakia so they'll understand her motivation.

Are we sure it's not some power move from his art of the deal? Like he intentionally smells so people are desperate to get out of the room?

[–] krakenx@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

You know he smells like old mayo and ass.

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago

In some ways it makes sense for someone so full of shit he must be overflowing with it.

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Who are you going to believe? Trump's team or Bob Woodward?

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Without knowing anything at all about Bob Woodward? Definitely him.

I’m beginning to think he uses the bronzer to protect his skin with an extra layer.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 11 points 10 months ago

so he's full of shit, and he smells like it.. it only makes sense..

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 10 months ago

Every elderly politician probably stinks like hell.

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Can I just summarise where we are, as we close 2023 ?

“You smell” “Do not” “Do so”” “Do not”

With a media and leadership like this, the only hope is nice fat meteor from the cosmos .

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Shit stinks. Next story?

What's smelly Donald Trump's problem this time?

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I've always assumed he smelled like necrotic fat guy.
