  I'm guessing that's the joke?

  Your powers of deduction are unparalleled.

  Indeed, although it seems like a cheap shot to mock his medical problems. Father Time is a sonofbitch, and he's coming for all of us.
  
  Edit: Lol at the downvotes, it was me taking the cheap shot in the first place. I'm allowed to say I'm taking a cheap shot.

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

  More likely straight sulphur. There's a stench of rotten eggs for like half a mile around his bodily girth. The fence around the White House was to protect us, not him.

- Bengay, White Castle, and spray tan

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

159
- 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.

  Apparently the smell is body odor and makeup....which makes sense
  
  38
  
  Well, let's just say them fighting hard to say he doesn't confirm all of our suspicions.

  Perhaps he needs a face diaper to contain all that shit coming out of his mouth.
  
  2
- Absolutely. I hadn't thought about his odor at all. If they'd left it be, the issue would've disappeared in a week's time. Now "so, what did he smell like..." is the first question I'd ask if I was talking to somebody who met him.

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

This is the official response. You'd best start believing in Idiocracy, you're in one.

  Welcome to Costco, I love you!

- Why do we allow these morons to make a mockery of society?

  Shit.
  
  I know shit's bad right now...

- When I first saw Idiocracy when it was perhaps a year or three old, I thought it was stupid. I loved the premise but thought the movie was stupid and too exaggerated. That it would be funnier if it were less over the top.
  
  I admit that I was wrong about it being exaggerated. But I was right that it would be funnier otherwise because it wouldn't have been so prescient.

  I admit that I was wrong about it being exaggerated.
  
  I read that they got the audience to laugh at the ass movie without prompting them.
  
  We're fucked.

  Hey, the President in the movie recognized that there was someone smarter than him and got him to help solve a major problem. That's actually better than Trump did.

- They're actually mistaking Adam Kinzinger and Rudy G?

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.

104
- Not a refutation... Excellent.
  This really is the dumbest timeline isn't it?
  
  25
- You know they won't because the media is owned by right wingers

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

54
- 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.
  
  14
  
  She's saving all of them up for his death

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.

48
- Honestly it would be this that brings him down. Everything else is fine but not being smelly.

Jingle bells

trump smells like shit

That is all.

- Ok, now I have to take a crack at it.
  
  Jingle bells,
  
  Donald Trump smells,
  
  Pro-se-cute him all the way!
  
  Oh, whata time
  
  It is to live!
  
  Let's li-ti-gate all he has to say!
  
  Hey!
  
  Can anyone else improve this?

  Jingle Bells
  
  Donald smells
  
  Jai-l all the way
  
  What a time
  
  To be a live
  
  Let's lit-i-gate him away
  
  Hey!
  
  Rolls off the tongue better.
  
  I feel like the litigate needs an easier word.

Now this might actually get his base riled up.

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

how fucked in the head do you have to be to married to this giant human-sized piece of feces

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

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

31
I never heard anyone talk about Trump's smell until seeing this so a. You know he smells. And b. Now I do, too.

29
This really doesn't surprise me. Trump is geriatric and gross. Of course he fucking smells, almost all old people smell. The real question is how bad does he smell? Haha.

23
- With his love of junk food, he can't be smelling great. What you eat is how you smell. Aside from the whole bathing thing. Oh god, I just thought about Trump bathing. Oh god, make it stop.

You know he smells like old mayo and ass.

21
Trump’s professional, adult lawyers: “No u”

- "Your honor, we are rubber and they are glue. Whatever they say bounces off of us and sticks to you (points at prosecution)

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?

19
- Aah the ole Yu-Gi-Oh tournament strategy I see.
  
  13
- Do not bathe, smell, assert dominance.

Comon guys, don't be so mean.

He just forgot to change his diaper that one time!

What a Stinker!

Jingle bells

Donald smells

Eric did a line

Melania holds her nose

And Rudy got a fine

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

12
- I thought you were going to write he uses bronzer instead of a shower

Every elderly politician probably stinks like hell.

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 .

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

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

I am hoping the smell is a symptom of a serious fatal health condition.
