You'd think talking about Trump's smell would just be fluff news good for a couple of funny headlines. But then again, maybe the kind of folks who are on the fence about whether to vote for him might be the kind of folks who would be swayed by news that he stinks. If he stinks, that means he's not the alpha male he's somehow managed to convince the right he is.

Much as I wish "he tried to overthrow the U.S. government" would sway people.

The crowd voting for him thinks the fascism is agreeable, the rapes are peak alpha behaviour, the Epstein relations are edgy and fun, the wanting to fuck his daughter is relatable, and the treason a product of necessity and honestly peak patriotism.

Body odour? Harder to do mental gymnastics with that one.

He intentionally smells bad to own the libs!

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

My assumption is it's due to the adult diapers, not body odour.

Could be both, though.

I dunno if the meme is true but if you think about it an obese 80 yr old who lives in a humid swamp probably doesn't smell great

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's the diapers, they probably have a scent to them to help "cover up" the shit odor. That dude that worked for him on the apprentice said he was pooping all the time.

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And The Apprentice was a long time ago and Trump is under way more stress these days. No way his gastrointestinal situation isn’t a shitshow.

[–] bloopernova@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

shitshow

Ayyy, lmao

[–] krakenx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Conservative media has attacked Hillary and Aiden for their smell. It is an issue for some conservative voters.

Having worked with a two old dudes with diapers (not that there's anything wrong with adult diapers), it gets real rancid when they just sit in it for more than a hour.

Diaper Don must be dropping shits and just letting it sink in. And with his diet of fast food, you know those around him are getting hit hard.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

If he stinks they will just reframe it as alpha male musk or some shit.

[–] Igloojoe@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Has the child rapist Trump ever claimed to be an Alpha Male? Sounds like the same energy as Andrew Tate.

I've worked at a nursing home, I know the smell everyone keeps talking about. It's soiled diapers, from an old man who drinks nothing but soda and big macs.

[–] stoicferret@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God, how hard it has to be to drink a big Mac. Impressive, the most impressive.

[–] Buck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not that hard, apparently. A quick search on YouTube shows people happily blendering their big macs and drinking the sludge.

This sounds like an insult you’d hear little kids use. It’s ridiculous that we’re talking about a presidential candidate this way. It’s seriously pissing him off, though, so keep it up, folks!

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Strangely, I think this might be the line of attack that actually makes his cultists see through the curtain.

[–] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

His followers aren't deceived. They know he's a liar and petty, hateful person. This won't open anyone's eyes.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

I'd say the opposite. If your main play is "the guy smells", then that's as good as a win for anything else he's done.

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Smart insults don’t get to him. Saying he smells like shit will really bother him. It’s great.

[–] myster0n 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jingle bells, Donald smells, Rudy went bankrupt

[–] Downcount@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Oh, what fun it is to jail the traitors and corrupts

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If there was ever a time it was more embarrassing to be an American…. I’d love to hear it.

[–] Denalduh@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, we may see it within the next year.

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ugh, seems like I can smell the pig even here. And I live in Europe. Or was that a whiff of BoJo's musk that drifted by my nose?

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean, it is Christmas... you got any illicit parties going on in your area?

[–] Lucz1848@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why would anyone want a smelly president? Embarrassing!

Almost like a presidential candidate who wears heels.

The insecurities of the snowflake GOP

[–] Dr_Fetus_Jackson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Even more embarrassing is that anyone would want him for a president at all... smelly, or no.

[–] butt_mountain_69420@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

That's the smell of Putin's semen on his breath.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This is the political equivalent of Cheese Touch. lol

They could license the Infectious Grooves song You Lie and Your Breath Stank.

[–] ares35@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

hopefully that scent will soon be blended with the musky he-man odor of bubba and big john from cell block c.

[–] dreamer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Jesus Christ. What the fuck is news nowadays? His smell? Really?
