The ad is called ‘Limburger,’ a cheese known for its pungent odour

The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump PAC, released a foul ad doubling down on allegations that former president Donald Trump smells.

Claims around the former president’s alleged odour erupted earlier this week when former Illinois Republican representative Adam Kinzinger tweeted, “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.”

The Lincoln Project seized upon the resulting social media firestorm with a video advertisement on Saturday, with the caption: “Is that you Donald? #TrumpSmells.”

    It’s so stupidly petty and has nothing to do with what actually makes Trump a shitty candidate (the whole fascism and insurrection thing and everything else), but it will probably bother Trump the most out of anything precisely because of how self-conscious it’ll make him.

        Right? You know who often doesn’t smell great? Old guys. Other people who sometimes stink include fat guys. And if you live in a hot, humid area you have to be more attentive to your hygiene.

        Orange Dump is an obese geriatric living on swamp land, hitting the trifecta. I’d put good money on odds of his ass stanking something fierce.

      That’s exactly my thoughts. Throughout the whole Trump candidacy and presidency, I’ve generally avoided criticism about what he looks like or the inconsequential things he does. If he were a decent president, or even a decent human being, it wouldn’t matter about his orange skin, weird hair, strange posture, weird smell, fast food diet, or any of that kind of thing. It’s the fact that he tried to overthrow the government, likely gave away or sold national secrets, raped women, installed cabinet members who intended to dismantle the organizations they were in charge of, etc. etc.

      But ironically, he and his base are totally fine with those things, it’s the inconsequential and superficial stuff that might actually cost him votes.

      I heard he has bad breath (this is an excellent tactic to make shitty people talk less).
